The tension was even greater given it was a day-night test. By 4pm it felt like we were running out of time and should have been close to a result but in reality there will still up to 60 odd overs still available over the last two sessions

Yep. Still can't get my head around it, when England were 6 down at 'dinner' I thought they'd sneak a draw.

Just read that Astle is out with injury for game 2, Ish called up.

Poor guy gets no luck at all. Still, excited to see what Sodhi can do because I think he's the best prospect to be out number one test spinner.

Astle is scheduled to play his next test in 2024.

Was wondering what Duckworth Lewis had to do with Tests.

Kicks out?

[Snowy]

TV from 10:30. Play at 11. Except - from Sunday onwards - when it will be TV from 10 play at 10:30 (daylight saving).
Not sure why it changes by 1/2 hour when we change clocks by an hour - but that seems to be what they are doing.

[Bovidae]

We have to give England a chance.

[Virgil]

Kane wins the toss and we are bowling
Couple changes at least for the poms
Ali is gone along with Woakes

[Bovidae]

Overton is replaced too by Leach (debut).

[booboo]

[Virgil]

Fucken ripper
Cool cleaned bowled

[Paekakboyz]

Just tuned in, first ball stump goes flying. Fuck yeah Boult!!

[raznomore]

have we won yet?

[Damo]

Very very poor challenge. Always going miles over.

[No Quarter]

Not sure I agree with bowling first. Unless the pitch is a shocker you should always be looking to bat so that you avoid batting last.
