That's 4... Tremlett misses a straight one.

Let's hope that is enough to get him in for the next one.

5 wickets fell in the morning session for just 67 runs.

This will be over before the end of the day.

Well ordinarily this would be my cue for bed, however I have no work tomorrow and I quite like the idea of seeing what our bowlers can do to start with at least.

Nice cup of Earl Grey, quick game on world golf tour, then back for afternoon session. Lovely !

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Watching online anyway, so pootling around looking at options for watching Sussex play in Holland in the summer.

What a corking excuse for a trip to Amsterdam.

Same here - think we can get some quick wickets. What time is tea our time?

This is the highest ever lead held by either side in an Ashes test going into a 3rd innings. Which considering some of the thrashings that Australia have dished out to us in the last 20 years is pretty good going by the boys donning the three lions today. Still as the Aussie commentators said before a ball was bowled in this test, the momentum was all with Australia.
