Another rain break... England 7-0 (3.5 overs)... we might have an early tea break, with 44.1 overs remaining in the day.

At least it means Lyth will survive until tea

 

[Eeyore]

Reminds me a little of Birmingham 1997. Australia bat on the first morning and were out for a hundred and not much. England followed up with a large total as the pitch flattened. Well, we've managed the first part.

England 7-0 (4 overs)

44 overs remaining, latest finish at 19:30... England 132-0 at the close?

 

[Titanic]

England 18-0 (7 overs), Cook 8* Lyth 10*

Already the 2nd highest partnership of the match

Lyth gone

Driving at a VERY wide one from Hazlewood... caught at the 3rd attempt at slip.... poor shot

19-1

Ten-up Lyth. Bravo!

Edit: Lyth, you useless tw*t!

Can Ian Bell become the first Warwickshire player to score a Test match century at Edgbaston?

It would be nice, wouldn't it?

 

[Pavilionaire]

A pivotal moment for Bell's career in a pivotal day of this Ashes series. Pivotal!

Mitchell Johnson into the attack.. with England 32-1 after 10 overs... game on

"He bowls to the left..."

11 from that Mitchell Marsh over... it looks like a different pitch with England batting on it.

 

[Triggaaar]

How many times has Warne said luck so far?

50 partnership for Cook 34* and Bell 24*, 53 runs from just 53 balls
