It's The Ashes (again)

[Fido]

Missed all the fun. We were doing shit when I left for Edgbaston. 25 min drive later and I've got to the pub and we've taken 4 wickets. I think 300 will be par on this pitch. We should have Australia all out by now.

They're playing at Headingley, pal. You missed it.

Is that Zinchenko on as sub?

[SausEggBaton]

Brilliant 5 wickets from Wood. Can we wrap him in cotton wool now?

[Albionmad]

If only Root had held that chance from Marsh. 
The Aussie bowlers will get the best out of this wicket.

[Borin' Baggie]

Brilliant spell since tea, Wood was incredible and Woakes with the two key wickets.

Just need Bairstow and Root to make up for their errors in the field with the bat then

[SuperBob2002]

If we can somehow grow some intelligence, bat sensible and bat long and get over 400 we should win this Test.

Forget all the dropped catches, would you have taken getting the Aussies all out for 263 at the start of the day because I would. That’s what putting a side in is all about getting them out for under 300.
But my God was Wood good his pace always gives us a chance.
Now it’s up to the batsman we have no idea how good or bad this wicket is until both sides have batted on it.

Oh, 100% I'd have taken this position. We're on top, can we finally make it count, or will we hand the initiative back to Australia once more? 

It's a great poston, but we should have been in a much stronger position. So I'm happy but simultaneously disappointed at the same time.

Crawley slashing at a couple against Starc here. He's luck he's still in! We could do with some luck.

Duckett doesn't get so lucky. Brain-dead shot. Again.

Why don't we learn? Just why? Pathetic.

[Albionmad]

That's what happens when you have a keeper who can catch the ball

[AnelkasBeard]

Classic Duckett dismissal - cutting one way too close to his body.

[ChamonixBaggie]

If you didn't laugh you'd cry
