Michtell Johnson is probably getting one of the greatest tauntings of all time - of Holy Grail proportions

Job done. Nice to see Bell still there at the end. Apparently the highest score by a bears playing in an Ashes test at Edgbaston.

Here's a stat for 4th test eve- if Wood replaces Anderson for the 4th Test England's side surnames contain just 53 letters a Test match low record

My nephew has just dropped round my ticket for the first day at the Oval. A dead rubber it seems, but still looking forward to it.

Only 56 behind with 10 wickets in hand :D

Edit: Clarke said he would have bowled this morning - seems to have got his wish :claping hands:

Always listen to TMS - thoroughly entertaining, especialy when Boycott gets ribbed and never notices

It's probably the most ridiculous first days cricket there has been in a test match.

Australia are a shambles. You'd getter better batting from a pub side. If Steve Smith is number one in the world then I'm a Dutchman. Dire technique. I suspect Clarke will be gone after this game on a long boat home. Pathetic. I don't know if he is an influence on the selection panel for games but how they go with 4 bowlers beats me. Johnson (who is always dire when the going gets tough) and Starc are short burst impact bowlers. Only playing one stock bowler is absurd. They are now getting thumped all over the park.

By the way - anyone still think we need KP?

I can't ever remember a days cricket like this. When England got off to a slightly shaky start I did worry we were going to follow the Aussies example but good old Root has sorted us out again.

Can't imagine they will get a very good reception when they get back home. Losing is one thing but the way they've played these last 2 tests is unbelievable.

I'm yet to be convinced by Blyth and I'm not sure what the answer is to Bell's poor form. Saying that KP wouldn't be the answer to either of those problems. For me it was less that he should walk back into the side as an automatic selection and more that having told him to come back to county cricket and get runs, which he did, they then said he wouldn't have been considered. Had we lost a 4, 5 or 6 through injury I would have liked to have KP in our back pocket as an option to bring in.

Amazing day, but so poor from the Aussies. I thought after bell going out early we were going to do the same! Root and Barstow awesome again but clearly issues in their camp

We will get dicked... simply because we aren't good enough to bowl them out twice. We may have a smidge of a chance if we pick Rashid, but that would involve Cook growing a pair and try to be positive.

Sadly Rashid will be carrying water bottles all summer, Mooen will be serving up some top quality buffet bowling for the Aussies to tuck into, and we will be lucky to win one test.

What about being lucky for 3 tests? :D

Still didn't top the 1st day of the Melbourne Test in 2010 90,000+ at the MCG Boxing Day on the back of a hammering in Perth 1-1.....Aus 98 all out England 157-0!

Think the older players suck as Clarke (out poorly again), Haddin, Rodgers and Shane Watson will be gone after this series. Think Root is better than Smith. He has looked disappointing lately and has given his wicket away far too cheaply.

Just picked out a few gems from the BBC webpage live text update from yesterday.


​
11.37: 29-5. The cameras pick up the sight of James Anderson in the England dressing room. If he was playing, Australia would probably be all out by now.

Jeremy Driver: This is boring, there's not been a wicket for 8 minutes...

Rakesh Pradhan: The Trent Bridge finance director is having a bigger meltdown than the Aussie batting line up.

Partridge Thornton: This has draw written all over it.

Chris Hutchings: I think England should declare without batting and put them in again.

Mitchell Johnson is about as intimidating today as a Rottweiler whose teeth have just fallen out.

BBC question. Things that are longer than the Aussie innings?

A: My exam next week.

A: Moeen Ali's beard.

A: The hiccups I had this morning.

A: The longevity of a Star Trek character in a red shirt.






Crimestoppers

Sorry, we can't take any calls about criminal Australian batting...




Mitchell Johnson in the sunshine after drinks. Slick-back hair and moustache, rueful look of a man who's lost a tenner and found 5p.

Joe Root's 100 is the highest score in an Ashes Test by a batsman batting in the second innings on the first day.

Benjamin: If Root gets another 50-100 runs he has a real chance of a personal victory by an innings.

On Austrailia's bowling: This is like firing ping pong balls at a revolving door.
