pmsl after the lord mayors show springs to mind.

I genuinely hate watching us play at Lords as it is the home for cricket for everyone bar us most of the time.

Wow. I knew Ireland would be tough but they've got us on the rack just an hour into the match!

Best thing about Test Cricket is that there's still a chance of recovery.

Why are we favourites for the Ashes?

Australia have arguably the best bowling attack in test cricket and our top order appears to be extremely fragile.

5 down now.

I hate to say this as an England fan but good riddance Bairstow

It’s like he came in just to be a wind up merchant.

This is a very brave declaration from England! Going for the 1 innings vs 2 strategy - I like it.

Five? In an hour? Bowl straight and wait for awful technique to help them on their way.

How bad was Bairstow's shenanigans? I've only got the BBC ticker.

And how long did Broad take to get Australia at Trent Bridge?

They played with themselves in a match down at Hove and obliterated themselves.

17 Aussie wickets in one day.

So going by that we're going to see 2 day test matches.
