Apparently & surprising to me the live win probability is - England 42% Aus 36% Draw 22%.
Eng 49% Aus 24% Draw 27%
I cant see a draw being one of the possible results. I know its only the 3rd session so all 3 should be a possibility but the pace at which we accumulate runs/lose wickets many of our Test matches are over before day 5. Unless there is a lot of rain around & we lose a days play.

Think the next three batsmen need to focus on giving Root the strike and then Joe needs to let loose. Get us to 385-400 and have a bowl at the end of the day

Bairstow out.
But what a knock
Then have a short spell at them and get a couple out.
Ideal opening day.
Just listening to commentary on radio 5 and following online so I might have missed something. Why?
I said a warm up game against Ireland was no preparation. Looks like we are treating this like a beer match & want to get home this evening.
Really below par imo.
Apologies for my ignorance, I'm genuinely not being sarcastic. I know we might have hoped our higher order batsmen would do better.
Day 1, England were 376/3 at stumps.
That's how you play aggressively but properly.
This has been a fine day's cricket from England imo. Stall set out nicely. A few tweaks required
