Only a few days away from the chance to put the Aussies back in their place haha. Bell is in the last chance saloon now, especially being moved up to bat at 3. I'd have stuck Root in at 3 as he's our best batsman at the moment.

Mark Wood in doubt for the Edgbaston test, presumably Steve Finn to replace him if required with no sign of any last minute call ups.

Be a shame for Wood and Finn seems to be one of those inconsistent bowlers who blow hot and cold..

Unless Cook is playing serious mind-games, he's a fool. Why would you request a green-top surface and then declare that if you'd have won the toss, you'd have batted first?

Although, I think this was probably a good toss to lose. Bowling first on this wicket with cloudy overhead conditions should be interesting this morning.

I love Finny. When you're banging it in from about 8 foot up it creates so much extra doubt in the batsmans mind

No better sight in cricket than a yorker taking out middle stump. Love it, what a start!

Clarke is in bad form - if that was Cook people would be saying get him dropped!

Good to see a fellow Orn doing the business.

I love you Jimmy.

Not particularly looking forward to us batting here though.

Broad gets Rogers. Just a matter of time before we're batting.

I do get the feeling we could be plenty down ourselves by the end of the day though!

I've returned home and seen 0 wickets and 20 runs in 3 overs. I'll go back to work.

If the Aussies are 136-9 on here, what may we end up lol?

136 all out, Anderson bowls Lyon.

Well done Jimmy, great day so far. Unfortunately our batsmen have let us down to many times lately, this is their BIG FUCKIN CHANCE to make a statement and give us a real grip on this game and the series. Your time is now Alistair Cook.

Big spell this, we can either see the day out or end it 5 down and struggling for a 100 lead tommorrow. Don't let them back in now lads. Great to see Bell back in some sort of fluid form, he looked really set, but that was a stupid shot to play against Lyon. Just nudge and nurdle against him and pick the 4 balls from the Aussie quick bowlers. Fear that may be a turning point in the innings when all is said and done.

132-3 and it's raining again.

Hope that's it for the day now.

Really good day overall but that's dreadful from Bell, just no need to do that in this situation.

In total control of this test at the moment. Bell played well for his 50 then a rush of blood huh? If we can score another 200 from here the Aussies will be in all kinds of trouble. Just need the weather to stay fine now.

What a day. Brilliant stuff from Anderson. On his day he is unplayable. Tomorrow is huge, if we can post a 200 plus lead it's ours to lose.

Shite start. Stokes and Bairstow both victims of the Johnson short ball.

poor start, was looking at about 300 this morning but we could be lucky to push 250 now.
