Warner deserved to go - if you don't know that's going down leg get off the park.

In for the summer. Great start for England. Going to be hard to keep up.

This, I was surprised it was given and even more surprised not reviewed.

The ball had to be swinging a mile and it isn't

Hello everyone, looking forward to this series

Three down. Easy peasy

I swear after this series, my most hated car will be the crapping Nissan leaf, you are going to see the advert hundreds of bloody times!

You mean it's not already?

[chunder27]

Haha, that and LV!

Interesting tie now, this is when you win test matches, Smith looks superb as does Head.

Losing Jimmy is a major blow too. Stokes looked as wayward as ever!

Ali looked OK too after a few looseners, who else do you use? I presume the sub field is not allowed to bowl, that would be great!

Comms say we need to bowl the odd short one, good idea, mix it up.

Clipping top of stumps?

Yeah!

They should put Root on to bowl to Smith. He's done him before.

[chunder27]

Smith leaving, never out. But at least we didn't waste a review, Broad would have forced Root to waste one. Smith leaves better than most.

Great contest though,

[steveT350C]

gut feeling was out...

[chunder27]

Respect to Smith too, he is clearly enjoying the battle, lots of smiles, and playing nicely. I hope if he gets out he is not booed, or even if he gets a deserved 50 or 100.

It's a great, pure contest this, great to watch.

[chunder27]

Christ what a morning/afternoon, Broad and Woakes are playing just like they did against ireland!

Not much you can do about this, just good bowling, Paine played a daft shot though

[johnfm]

Amateur.

Reaping what they sow. Never bat first under cloud in England. Ever.

Totally predictable turn of events.

[Pistonheads2019]

Clearly going down leg. Again!

They have reviews available so more fool them.

Agreed.

If umpires are not performing that well and a batsman doesn't know where his stumps are, tough luck.

[chunder27]

Umpiring has been a bit off so far today, lots of wrong decisions.

Aussies will be bowling in about an hour at this rate, feel sorry for Smith, totally let down by everyone after his early partnership.
