Much better from England, causing the Aussies far more problems 

Addick Addict

Well bowled Woakes!!!

North Lower Neil

Yes, get in!  

Looks like a much more lively morning.

North Lower Neil

Good reception for Warner as he walks off.

Good start, wait for the blame being on the "new" ball from Oz...can't seem to talk about anything else on commentary😂

Fair play to Waner he has finally found a way to stop Broad getting him.

Tbf the ball they changed it to is completely different 

ProperCharlton

We've got to take advantage of these bowling conditions and get a few more wickets

Addick Addict

"That looks really close to me". One thing we won't miss about Broad is his optimism when it comes to taking a review off his bowling. 

Addick Addict

Yes Woakes. Again!!!!

Addick Addict

And the Aussies waste a review too!

ProperCharlton

Here comes the collapse. Win incoming

Khawaja burns yet another review   

Addick Addict

Australia were 1.80 before play started. They are now 3.50 and England are favourites at 2.06

It is amazing isn't it. If you could a bet on the likes of Bairstow, Broad, Khawaja, Warner or Smith reviewing you would win 99% of the time whereas you can't even be sure that Woakes will review even when he's hit it!

Absolutely incredible this morning from Woakes

Woakes is just too good today, play what you are given, That's what Oz would say..game on

This is more like it - looks half-decent bowling conditions to me

Jacks? God help us 

As the 2nd spinner in a side who needs to be able to bay then I don't see we have too many better options than him.

Dawson? 

LenGlover

Come on England!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

killerandflash

After a poor over Wood gets it right! Game on now.

North Lower Neil

Yes!!  Keep going!!

eastterrace6168

3 down, we've got 'em, now keep it up lads, and pray it just stays dry...

Pelling1993

Serious start. Foot on their throats now

ProperCharlton

Perfect start. Let's keep this going!

Addick Addict

What really would rub salt in the Aussies' wounds would be if we turn down the opportunity to take the new ball

Pelling1993

5 down before lunch please

Bowling conditions are very similar to yesterday.
The difference is swapping a roughed up old ball for what looked like a virtually new ball, which seems unfair.
Mind you the new ball did next to nothing yesterday.

Leuth

I'll say it one last time: if Jimmy can't do it with this ball, in these conditions, then I think we know what he is
