    Lyon is rapidly becoming one of the best bowlers in the world. I think he improves every year

    Hard to bat against. Think I have to agree with Swanny (rarity), he needs to target the wickets every so often here. He's searching too hard for a mistimed shot. The pitch is giving so he needs to be aggresive.

    Swann makes a very good point about Lyon, you don't have to play

    Saw back page headline an Aussie was reading in the crowd "Poms prove to be no pushover". Love it!

    Swann is the most irritating pundit. Arrogant, facetious and juvenile but now and then he does make a very good point that no one else has mentioned.

    I really like Alison Mitchell as a commentator she gets it just right...still have nightmare flashbacks to the woman who used to commentate on our games - Emma I think her name was

    Simonsen is the first person to drop out of the score contest!

    She's a little inane but improving all the time, imo. Rather her than half the tripe BT/Sky put out, especially on the football!

    Such a shame that Malan has given it away, Starc looked so unthreatening today too

    The nature of this pitch is that the seamers are going to have to rely on mistakes by the batsmen

    Australia suckered him in there by making the pull shot seem so comfortable he'd play it every time. It wasn't great cricket but it worked

    Learning from the book of Leuth and his full tosses, I see!

    (... same can be said for me, of course)

    No . Confession time . I posted that Ali and Bairstow were going to put on a century partnership. As soon as i clicked on “Done” Lyon bowled the wicked ball . My fault.
