[Cricket] The Ashes- England v Australia- 1st Test, Birmingham, June 16 - 20, 2023

Great to have Moeen back, sad for Leach but great to have such explosive scoring potential in the late order.

Edit: Sorry, that's mine.

 

[banjo]

Gave that away.

Talk about giving your wicket away the old boys must be turning in there graves

 

[ManOfSussex]

Moeen.

 

[Eeyore]

That's where it gets disappointing. The last two wickets have been thrown away at a crucial stage in the day. It wasn't even as if the field was up.

 

[dazzer6666]

daft….

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Poor

 

[jakarta]

Typical Moeen Ali, looks a million dollars and then gives it away. If I was Root needing 17 runs for my century I would be fuming...

 

[banjo]

Are we trying to give the Aussies a chance.

 

[jakarta]

350-8, you just know Root is going to be stranded.

 

[pasty]

Broad gone. 350/8

Root on 93. Hope 10 or 11 hang around a bit for Root

 

[Steve in Japan]

350 for 8. Yes it's a score but could have been more.

 

[Bodian]

I think 400 is a par score batting first on this lawn.

Be lucky to get that now.

 

[pasty]

What time is close? Will we see Eng bowl tonight?

 

[Leosayer]

I don’t understand why they aren’t trying to give Root the strike

 

[Javeaseagull]

I don’t understand why they aren’t trying to give Root the strike

I'm sure I heard Kumar or Athers say that it is Team score before Individual score, or something like that.

[Greg Bobkin]

Rooooooooooooooooooot!

100*

[Javeaseagull]

Aussies applauding Root! Maybe there is hope for them after all.
