I was there yesterday and while that was a bit frustrating to see Head score those runs, I don’t think we could’ve asked much more from the 25 overs bowled. 6 Australian wickets and England 27-0 at close was as good as anyone could’ve realistically hoped for when play finally got underway.

It was certainly a lot more than I realistically expected.

Sounds easy when one reads that sentence. That’s Ashes cricket for you.

Well if they don’t knock these off it’s time to give up playing them in the future,never mind rest of this series,we’d be better playing Oman and Afghanistan,Scotland and Namibia we might win a few then

It was our best day in these ashes yesterday, but we only had to play one session, no brain needed just go at it, this run chase will still require some thinking, I like that we’ve wrestled back control every time we’ve lost a wicket

We've beaten every test nation in the last 3 years apart from Australia who are currently ranked 1st

So, the Aussies are in credit so far.

Is he middle order? I saw him opening for Essex the other night (but only t20) and he played very sensibly (until he got out to a daft shot with 7 needed!!)
