[Cricket] Third Ashes Test - England v Australia - Edgbaston

[Titanic]

direct hit from Broad.... is Warner gone for 0... no just in, sprawling dive... what a crazy start

Aggers on TMS: "Laura (the singer) is coming to her climax". Good lord.

 

[Titanic]

WARNER GONE!!!!! Jimmy traps him in front

It will be reviewed... did it pitch outside leg??

 

[Titanic]

He's a goner

Australia 7-1 (2.2 overs)

This had me sniggering in the office, got some funny looks.

 

[Titanic]

The side batting first in the last 6 Edgbaston Tests has not won a single one; they have lost four times, and drawn two.

 

[Titanic]

Australia 14-1 (7 overs)

Steven Finn into the attack early... first time for over two years

 

[Titanic]

FINN gets Smith caught low down by Cook at slip

Pitched up, moved away, got the edge, good low catch... Smith back in the hutch!!

18-2, perhaps my 3 down at lunch was pessimistic??

 

[pasty]

Marvellous scenes. If "the shuffler" hadn't shuffled he wouldn't have knicked that one

 

[Pavilionaire]

Morning everyone, marvellous start by England this.

Finn getting up to 89mph, I like that.

 

[Titanic]

Clarke yorked by Finn... fast and straight

3 down by drinks!

Australia 34-3 (11.1 overs)

 

[pasty]

Sorry, who's top 3 has a problem?

 

[Gritt23]

Sorry, who's top 3 has a problem?

OURS!

Don't get carried away just yet.

 

[Chinman3000]

Wooooooooo came back from a meeting to THAT score. Great start!

 

[spring hall convert]

Great start.

Finn with all his drama with action has taken 92 wickets at 28.82. Not to be sniffed at.

 

[Titanic]

Here comes the predicted rain shower... what a fantastic first session for England

Australia 38-3 (12.2 overs)

Rogers 14*
Warner lbw Anderson 2
Smith c Cook b Finn 7
Clarke b Finn 10
Voges 0*

Just what we needed after the shambles at Lords.

 

[pasty]

Bugger

 

[Pavilionaire]

So basically Australia have done what our top order are going to do, and the games now on an even keel.

 

[Titanic]

Ooh... covers coming off... sounds like we might get a nasty little 20 minutes in before lunch.

 

[Badger]

Play to resume at 12.35

It's that POINTLESS gap between the covers coming off and play resuming.
