[Cricket] Fourth Ashes Test - England v Australia - Trent Bridge

[Hillian1]

I keep looking at the scorecard on BBC amazed that it shows:

England trail by 47.

We're at lunch, on day ONE and we trail the Convicts by 47 runs FFS.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

That was a tricky session.

England did well to survive, looking down the barrel of a draw.

Yes, can see that. England take 3 days to get to 800-1, then Oz bat out 5 sessions for 300-0.

Come on England. Don't bat like divs.

Australia should have picked Siddle here. He would have got plenty of movement out of this pitch.

Good to see Captain Cook has been working on the play and miss, rather than the play and edge that the Australians seemed to prefer this morning

SMASH - Johnson short and wide, Cook cuts hard behind point for four.

20-0 (5 overs)

Looks a nice sunny day at Trent Bridge now

SMASH - Johnson short and wide, Cook cuts hard behind point for four.

20-0 (5 overs)

I assume and hope that the Trent Bridge crowd are letting him know about it?

Yes..full and just outside off stump .. Bit surprised

 

[Titanic]

Clips it off his legs... FOUR more for Alastair Cook off Johnson

26-0 (6.2 overs)

Normally we would have been ecstatic that England still had the opening pair batting at lunch on the first day.
They were today - but under slightly different circumstances!

 

[WhingForPresident]

So we're halfway to their first innings score 20 minutes after lunch on the first day

I assume and hope that the Trent Bridge crowd are letting him know about it?

Nah, bit more refined at TB than at Edgbaston. No 'he bowls to the left....' football style chanting here.

 

[inland seagull]

At least the Aussies selectors had the sense to pick that guy Extras

Didn't he used to be called Sundries?

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

I would very much like to see our opening pair get some respectable scores, if only to really grind the Aussie spirit into dust...

Assuming they have any left after this morning's slaughter.

 

[nicko31]

This could be one of England's greatest ever days in test cricket

 

[Titanic]

Whoa! We're half way there... 30-0 (9.4 overs), Cook 17*, Lyth 12*
