    No surprises there, the surprise for me will be if we successfully navigate first session without too much loss

    Bowling first is always a bit of a risk, if they don't run through our top order in the first hour we are suddenly on top. Just need to survive, comon lads!

    Stokes: "The wicket generally gets better and better here as cricket is played on it. There's a nice covering a grass on it so hopefully, we can get something out of it with the new ball.

    Edit:
    Latham: "We were going to bowl, but if you bat well in the first session, things can get a little bit easier

    I suppose Stevenson is a cricket expert again. 🙂

    That's an excellent catch. Not great from Conway though, needs to play with softer hands against the new ball on the first morning of a test

    Fuck Conway out to a nothing caught and bowled.

    That hurts because England’s first couple of overs were not very threatening

    Conway or the bowlers? No balls are done by the 3rd umpire these days I think?

    Wonder how much Stead is thinking, "Fuck, we should have played Will Young"?

    A couple of years ago, Conway used to look rock solid - now, he looks pretty shaky. He'd already played at one that was well outside off stump and bouncing.

    @No-Quarter I was facetiously hoping Atkinson had bowled another no ball.

    That was a very tight leave from Latham, but it did show the benefits of being able to leave balls outside off. Woakes immediately over compensated and was put away for four, and even the ball after that was too straight again

    Macca and Gower are good value in the commentary box

    Not happy losing a wicket early but 4 po is a good start assuming not just from edges. Happy with that
    In the other camp though probably run rate not fast enough for this current England team, but hopefully that attitude gives us a chance when we bowl

    Indeed. Was just thinking how much of a downgrade Sumo is at first drop...

    Bowlers and batters sliding around like there's grease on the popping crease.
