  • Well done Mo, just the start England needed. Good captaincy from Root to get Mo into the attack.
  • Smith and Warner at the crease - big partnership.
  • I can get no effing stream to work.!

    9 wickets have gone down since I left work 4.5 hrs ago and despite having TMS and the TV on for most of that time I have managed not to see or hear a single wicket 'live'. Life with a toddler right there.
  • 76-3 Tea

    Even Stevens
  • yes !
  • Hmmm bit disappointed we didn't get 80 more to make my prediction right.

    Good to get Warner. Big partnership now. Get these 2 out and you feel like you're through them...

  • Handscombe out on review lbw
  • 76-4
  • lets get Smith out now.
  • lets get Smith out now.

    Fuck didn’t read the “let’s get “ !

    Zoomed in on the last 3 words
  • I can get no stream to work or work consistently.
    Is it worthwhile/possible to get Sky Q ? with BT Sport as another option? Dont know if that is possible.

    This is beautiful viewing.
  • I like the TMS commentator who has replaced old duffer Blofeld, he got Byzantine,Dotage and Duplicity into one sentence. !
  • 302 all out.

    I was out by one run!

    Snap, do we share the winnings
  • "For the avoidance of any doubt, only the exact prediction will count as having "won". Otherwise Bedsaddick will claim the glory when we get 660-7 declared. Or Santa Claus will declare "it's Christmas" louder than Noddy Holder when we are 220 all out."

    Unlucky and congratulations on being so close Todds_right_hook (301) and Callumcafc (303) but rules are rules!



  • So are we all now agreed that, even without us having no Stokes, there is nothing between these two sides?

    Too many "happy hookers" in our innings but the refreshing aspect of our batting is that the players like Vince, Malan and Stoneman were our top contributors and all got 50s. If Cook can find some form (Root will score runs come what may) then our top 5 will look superior to theirs to be followed by Bairstow and Moeen who should really swap in order.

    Next wicket is the key.
    Break this partnership before 150 comes up and we should get a decent 1st innings lead
  • How good must Smith be to "cover all three" as he does and never get out LBW?
  • 163-4

    Aussies favourites now

    We need another wicket tonight
  • Well I don't think I've seen a field with five players on the drive like this one!
  • 165-4 at close so they are 137 behind
  • Predictions for Aussie score

    I’ll go for 345

    Surely this is the last time we play four right-arm fast-medium seamers in the same Ashes Test in Australia (Stokes being arguably not quite like the others) - Crane surely, surely in the frame for the rest of the series

    They wont throw Crane in until a possible bunsen , like Sydney, or if there are injuries.
