The Ashes 2023

[slogen51]

Mark Wood bags a five wicket haul

Express pace was too much for Australia who are all out for 263

[James Cutting]

What a great start...22-2, could learn to leave a ball or 2!!

[plmc135]

67 - 3. And its good night from me and good night from him.

[slogen51]

I am cautiously optimistic of a decent first innings lead then Mark Wood Unleashed

[James Cutting]

Goodness sake, Root edges second ball!

[plmc135]

Your crystal ball must be fogged up. 87 - 5

[James Cutting]

How many do we need to avoid a follow on?

[colp]

Need to add at least another 100 runs here to still be in the game. I am cautiously pessimistic of a decent first innings deficit!

Looks like our hopes are pinned on Rocky Stokes again.

[iainpeden]

How many do we need to avoid a follow on?

Avoided.

[James Cutting]

Thank goodness

[plmc135]

Lunch 142 - 7

[James Cutting]

What an embarrassment. About to be the easiest whitewash for the Aussies at this rate.

[slogen51]

I heard the very disappointing dismissal of Moheen while driving from Mildenhall, so frustrating

Is stokes still in?

[slogen51]

Stokes 27 not out

Who is next in ? Robinson injured

This smacks of headingley 1981 although I think we followed on there?

[James Cutting]

Broad next

Nope was Wood

[James Cutting]

Mark Wood clobbers 24 off 8 balls before finally slicing it. Cummins has a 5-fer

[James Cutting]

Pft Broad gone. Not even going to tie the runs.

I can only hope we are trying to recreate Headingly 2019, but this is appalling, why make it so difficult.

[colp]

Over to you Captain!

[James Cutting]

Amazed he hasn't just completely collapsed yet! He looks in agony.

[colp]

Geez he's some player!
