Not quite the start we wanted.

Obviously not.

To be fair, both deliveries were chin height - at that pace, in that difficult corridor of deciding whether to take evasive action or try and get the bat in the way.

Brilliant bowling.

Great bowling, controled aggression.
our lead could be minimal

To be fair, those balls were pretty much unplayable.

Outstanding bowling from Johnson, credit where it's due. Root looking in poor form this morning, seems a walking wicket to me.

Nut 'em to the boundary.

Fortunately the Mitchell at the other end is bowling garbage so far.

As a lone Aussie in an English ground my cheering isn't very appreciated...

You are used to that though... well practiced from here.

Close games are much more interesting than watching Rodgers hit a 400 ball century.

I think more of Brian Close vs Michael Holding - https://youtu.be/KXsfEdJ_G5w?t=18

Ouch!

A little close for comfort.

Starc is bowling rubbish. All he has to do is aim to hit off bail or just outside. Keeps bowling on the pads.

He's bowled dogst all morning then gets Root out! Sloppy batting.

[TheAngryDog]

Poor shot. didnt need to play at it that wide.

All we needed to do was build a big score. What is so difficult about that?

Lyon.
3 overs, 3 wickets.
How?

[CooperD]

Well, we are making hard work of this. Can't see us posting up much of a first innings lead here.

[FourWheelDrift]

NOT OUT !!!

[Legend83]

Should have reviewed! What's to lose at this stage even if you thought it was out?!
