Oops, Stoneman bowled
Early signs of a bit of reverse swing... testing time for Root before tea.
Tea, Day One
England 128-2 (55 overs, RR 2.33)
Vince 72* (157) Root 1* (4)
Excellent batting from Mark Stoneman and James Vince, 69 runs from 26 overs in the session... pity we lost the wicket just before tea. Big final session coming up.

Definitely some movement in the air for Hazlewood and Starc after tea... their chance to swing the first day Australia's way?
Four for Vince... and the ball goes into a puddle by the fence! That might kill the reverse?
Vince run out... great fielding from Lyon, one-handed pick up on the move and direct hit.
Pity - he just didn't need to do that.
83 from 170 balls.
145-3

Bloody silly run out, why take that kind of chance on day 1 ffs.
They all talk too much.
Yeah. They aren’t giving the atmosphere a chance to get through
Just wait till Graeme Swann is on... it becomes a one man chat show

It's great, definitely part of the overall Ashes experience.
Even going to the grounds to watch, I have one of those cheap chuck away ear piece radios on and listen whilst watching.
Have to switch ears every now and again mind, as it gets a bit sweaty.
Root reverse slog sweeping at Lyon... really?
