Broad dons the Aditek (really an Ayrtek as we all know)

Lyon is bowling beautifully
He's bowling ok. A bit fortunate to get his 2 wickets off shortish balls that should have been easily nudged away. Lyon has troubled Broad when he's pitched it up but he's bowled too short too often to be honest.

But the Aussies are in great shape! Let's hope the batsmen back it up. :)

England's run of dreadful first test matches continues.... The bowlers must get really fed up with the batsmen...

Any rain on the way?

The edges of my bat take a beating, the middle is near enough new.

Well I'm glad I didn't get up early for that, might not be an all nighter tonight either...

He bowls to the left, he bowls to the right...


Brilliant! Something about schadenfreude and cold early morning meals...

Same, decided to get all the kip in preparation for an all nighter tonight. Game isn't lost yet though, at least we didn't follow on. Swann will tear the Aussies apart again and we'll chase down 400 for one wicket with half a day to spare.

Good work Aussies, woeful performance from England with the bat.
Now let's see if you can actually win more than one days worth of Test cricket for the first time in 12 months..

I'm pretty sure that England are just my old club in disguise... The bowlers have a blinder, consider putting their feet up and then they find out that they're 7-63 (as I said in the "what are you thinking?" thread... Just call me the oracle ;) haha) and you just wish you could have a day off with the bat, just once!

Did Aussies dislike Broad before he didn't walk for edging it to the keeper?

Couldn't believe the collapse when I checked my phone this morning :(

Hope i'm wrong but I can't see Trott surviving in Test cricket for much longer now. You can't continue to play test cricket (unless in the sub-continent) when you have no idea at how to play the short ball.

I know Clarke has issues but at least he doesn't look scared of it, he at least tries to stand up and play the ball, its just a matter of his technique getting sorted out (and his back getting better)

Trott however just looks completely scared of the ball and jumping outside the off-stump just on the chance he's able to glance it away down the leg side (and be caught!)

i'm kind of in shock as to the collapse as i thought we would esily be 270-290 at the close of play but once more england shut down and went nowhere so losing wickets was inevitable, just wish we showed some impotous like some aussie batsman as Warner, Carberry, Haddin aside no-one has looked comfy
