*Official* 3rd Test at Edgbaston

[Son Of Coco]

Lyon getting sledged by a bloke in the crowd wearing orange fake tan who could eat an apple through a tennis racquet. It's hard to work out who has come out of it worse off.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Finn is the blockers blocker.

 

[wpdavid]

Nice jinx Bumble. Hazlewood with a well deserved wicket.......

Some of these comms just never learn, do they.

Handy innings, but I don't expect our last two to hang around very long now. Still, this is way better than it looked when Buttler departed.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Its also very pleasing that Broad is starting to have some shoots in his batting recovery. It was a poor shot but they did a great job in that partnership.

 

[CWB304]

Not a century stand but pretty good nonetheless and the way they have made the runs will be dispiriting for the Aussies. 30-40 more runs from the remaining wickets and they're out of this test altogether.

Steady on there. How many would you fancy us chasing in the final innings?

 

[91Jmay]

Well batted, put us in a strong position. Hazelwood with very flattering figures now.

200-240

Finally Bearded Jadeja goes.

 

[wpdavid]

Might as well declare rather than have our last 2 used as target practice.
There's certainly no point in them blocking now.

 

[Johnners]

So annoying that after the **** they bowled in the first session, it's Starc and Haze who will get the wickets from the tail-end throwing the bat.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Will Jimmy try to reverse sweep a fast bowler. That is the only question left.

 

[CaptainGrumpy]

Soft dismissal for Ali. Terrible dismissal from Broad. Great partnership, handy lead.

 

[Riggins]

That's a really really good ball.

 

[ajdude]

biggest afternoon of the series this

 

[morgieb]

Case for the worst 2-fer ever

 

[Swingpanzee]

if we could reach 150 that's be great for a start

 

[Spikey]

score 500 odd and we're sweet

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Some seriously flattering figures from Hazlewood and Starc there.

 

[91Jmay]

Well done with bat. Could have been more at start of play but after Johnson's early spell will certainly take that. Couple of wickets before tea, fancy Broad here.
