I didn't get to see anything past lunch, had a net. How do you mean Anderson kicked the ball away?

He kicked it like it was a rugby ball

Was it a Flintoff style celebration, or was it Jimmy's toys coming out of the pram??
Not seen any of it so sorry if that's a stupid question.

He took a catch off Stokes bowling and booted the ball away. He had the shits with his bowling

Wow, Anderson's always had a big ego, but recently its been worse than normal.

Good to see Stokes in the wickets. That's a five-fer and a ton this series. A real big positive for the England team going forward.

3 debutantes for England and one was even English  :D

I feel for Rankin, tough ask after playing very little cricket for the past couple of months. Apparently he had a fitness test this morning and given the all clear before the team was named.

Stokes seem to be getting better and better.

Those whinging about Anderson, it is a team game and I think any team would be relatively happy to bowl Australia out, at home, for under 350. Especially when they lost a bowler mid-innings. If they had to bowl for another couple of sessions one light, they'd be knacked.

All this moving Bell to 3, and still can't get to bat there.

Carberry did well.

Will be interesting couple of sessions tomorrow, will be good to see if there is some fight there or not.

I bet Lyon is siting in that changing room considering whether to get out next innings to get an average.

What a wonderful day for England and it's selectors.

Firstly there big debutant seamer bowls 8.2 overs and is off crocked. Great selection.

Atleast we have a mainstream spinner to take up overs..... Oh wait he's a debutant.

Use the part time spinner...... Oh they dropped him after treating him like a yoyo.

Atleast the guy that kept his spot got some runs......... He got a pair if ducks in one innings? Oh great.


Fantastic.

Carberry may well not be good enough for test cricket, but Johnson's been blowing everyone away this series and carberry has mostly played him better than more experienced team mates.

he's been thrown into an away ashes series against a, let's face it, quality pace attack, one of whom has bowled one of the great series of recent times. He deserves a bit of slack, which the selectors have clearly given him.

yeah, he was out twice. I put that down to top quality bowling.

We really are clutching at straws if people are suggesting we are missing Roots tweaks! I would have picked him but nothing to do with his bowling.

If Rankin passed his fitness test I dont see how the selectors can be blamed for his injury

Good to see changes to this very stagnant England team. Bresnan has looked military all series

I can't believe we've let them get from 95-5 to 350 odd again. Bloody ridiculous. I didn't get to see much of it last night but if it was Smith and Haddin doing the damage again I imagine they just fed them both the short ball all day.

I'm all for getting the youngster in and building for the future, but isn't Rankin 30 odd? Not too sure why they brought him down under to be honest, other than to make our team more cosmopolitan.

He did have a slice of luck. Hotspot picked up a nick the ball before he got out! Only Bailey at short leg appealed...

Rankin is 29. Commentators said last night that he had been in Alice Springs for the last month. Not sure if he was out there playing.
