[Cricket] First Ashes Test - England v Australia - Cardiff

[Billy the Fish]

Need root to save us again now

 

[Mackenzie]

Just needed to leave and use a straight bat until lunch. We've lost two wickets, first to an attempted clip to the leg side off a ball that was straight, second attempting to cut a ball straight after a break. Seriously, lets not make this easy for them.

Agreed, let's not give them any (more) freebies.

Bell looked doomed the moment he tried to launch his 3rd delivery for 6. His mindset has been scrambled for some time.

I think it is already too late for that

 

[Pavilionaire]

Oh dear! The top order looked fragile and thus it has been proved. England 4/1, Australia 4/6

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

About Par for England at Test Level - need the middle lower order to help us as usual

 

[Simster]

Not exactly looking competitive here, are we? It's not even as if the Aussies have bowled particularly well.

Root hits a boundary.

England 51-3 (16.4 overs)

 

[Simster]

How many wickets down by the time we get 100?

I'll go for five, with Root still in, 31 not out.

We can only hope.

I fancy Root and Ballance for a BIG partnership... 163-4
