Traditional Oval wickets don't really suit Jimmy. Not much swing, more pace and bounce.

Rite of passage. I still have a load of tatty autograph books from when I used to stand outside the players' gate with my grandfather. Probably got 100 Tommy Hutchisons and Mick Coops :)

Despite the usual Verstappen win I did enjoy the McClaren performances. Plus it's good to see Williams do have a car and driver that can genuinely challenge for decent points at last.

Keep Broad. He's actually bowling well and is due a haul. No-one bowled a lot of overs due to the low scores so pick the best attack for the conditions. I would do Anderson for Robinson for this next Test. Rest Robinson and it's Anderson's home wicket. But another flattish, one paced wicket...

Pulled it off despite some of the ugly cricket. Needed one batsman to produce a score so credit to Brook - let's keep him down the order. No 3 needs sorting quickly. Key to series (aside from eliminating the drops & daft shots) has to be keeping Wood fit.

horrible shot

one on the laptop, other on the mobile 😁

Don't take on the short ball. Take the 1s and 2s. Get to 220 for 6 and see how the Aussies handle the pressure.

there would have been more than enough overs today & tomorrow. You've put yourselves in a position to bat normally to win and you've unnecessarily gifted at least 3 of these wickets. You are putting zero pressure on Aussie bowlers as they know self-created mistakes will come. That simple drop of...

nothing ball brings another wicket

Now he's set he's got to make a proper score. edit there you go

Ali at 3 worked well then. Just see off Cummins & Starc.

The counter to that from my region is that we would now have an aggressive power that has also stated its desire to reassert its authority/control on all its former Soviet countries -not just Ukraine. NATO and the EU would have this aggressive power on its doorstep. Eastern Europe has memories...

Actually going to watch today purely to see how McLaren get on.

Interesting to see what teams have learnt from the images of the underside of Perez's car from Monaco pics. The floor one of the main reasons for Red Bull advantage so that'll be analysed to the nth degree. Of course Newey will come up with something new next season to leave them ahead.

Doable this chase. Hopefully Root anchors and lets others play the aggressor. Needs one good innings - each innings so far has had only the one 50+ score. Is that Root drop of Marsh going to haunt them???

our board playing silly buggers. Saying he was injury-prone to keep fee down but he'd already played 20 odd games for Wimbledon that season.

Pinched from BBC Mark Wood's slowest ball today was 88.2mph. England had only bowled two deliveries quicker than that in the first two Tests.

good morning but should have been a really good one with 5 down before lunch on day 1.
