    @canefan there was a bit of talk prior to his selection that Sommerville would need to bowl faster on these pitches, so I think that's part of the game plan. He's bit luckier with his height that getting in into eye-line is a bit easier as part of his normal deliveries. I think both of their spinners get more wrist rip/action compared to our finger spinners - problem is the former are both pretty accurate too!

    If we don't start taking some wickets in this innings, Pakistan might not need to bat again.

    Yeah, but a couple of early wickets will see Pakistan way behind the 8-ball given they have to bat last. That's the benefit of batting first. It's in the balance right now but I'd rather be in our shoes than theirs.

    @no-quarter

    The first hour will be huge as Boult and Southee look the most likely to get wickets in bunches.

    Nice to see Watling get more praise. Doull and Franklin were certainly talking him up.

    @bovidae

    He used to open the batting didn't he? BJ and Rigor would have to be two of the most successful conversions we've ever had

    Yes, opener, then dropped, before coming back as a wk/batsmen.

    Great start with a wicket in Boult's first over. Southee is a very good slip fielder.

    Fuck we loves Boulter!

    About aa much as we loves Wags. And he's not playing.

    No Wagner? Boooooooo!

    Not sure it's the right deck to just try and bounce guys out

    There's always room for Wagner, he is all guts. He will tear himself up trying to get wickets for the team

    look, i get it, we all love a battler, but Southee over Wagner in the 3rd test of a series played on dead pitches does kind of make sense.

    (i would have played him absolutely anyone over Colin).

    Fixed

    Yup it was BJ and Cumming, the perfect opening partnership.

    we needed more than one for the last couple of hours! This session probably swings the test to Pakistan, and well done them. They have earned it.
