Anderson hurt himself picking that ball up?

matsquatch · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:16

This is very nip and tuck now, can't believe how comfortable these two look at the crease

rotters · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:16

Good shout.

England were 1/200 to win when the 9th wicket fell. Now 4/9.

Missed chance of a run out, arghhh..

They look like they could bat all day to be honest.

Something will happen - we've stemmed the flow of runs, need to crank up the pressure now.

That slog sweep from Haddin is OK. He'll score a couple, but top edge one sooner or later.

manic111 · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:22

See.

Just a shame we can't catch

Irish_Tom · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:23

Finn has had a bit of a shocker today hasn't he!

ringo747 · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:24

Finn, you numpty. Again.

LOAM · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:24

He's not having a fun day, no

manic111 · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:25

It's a tough catch to be fair to him.

Everyone knows what Finn's about regarding bowling. He'll charge up and bang it in, and this pitch is simply not suitable for him - he should never have been playing in the first place.

To be honest, he's not too far from where Broad was three or four years ago. If he learns, he'll be a very good bowler.

matsquatch · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:26

Finn's having a 'mare. Would've been a great catch, but should've got something on it

pepsilol · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:27

Was a relatively basic catch at that sort of level.

LOAM · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:29

I don't think its a coincidence that Finn moves and the Aussie's change where they are hitting the ball, they know he's the weak spot. Lol at broady.

Azza · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:30

Hahaha

manic111 · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:30

Haha, love that from the umpires

el_dazza · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:32

Lunch. My god.

Doggie2k · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:34

Ha this is what the Ashes is all about love it!!!

Patto to get out first ball after lunch

Pighardia · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:35

This is brilliant as always... The Ashes never let's you down!

Pattinson and Haddin look in no trouble whatsoever.

I have been critical of Finn in the past, and he hasn't done much to persuade me here tbh... A bit too one dimensional imo. Bresnan offers a lot more.

el_dazza · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:36

I'm so bloody nervous.
