Well done Mr Cook...

rotters · 10 Jul 2013 at 11:43

Wasn't expecting the quicker ball. Seems to be swinging very nicely. Shame, need trott to go big now.

Blowers on some form on TMS this morning!

My TMS radio feed has died, and although I'm in mainland Europe my IP appears to be blocked from the feed.

Bum, Cook gone cheaply.

Joe root is a calm chappy isn't he, just quietly getting on with it.

You cursed him!

Come on KP, keep it together.

rotters · 10 Jul 2013 at 12:41

So it'll be trott and pieterson before lunch on the opening day!

Root out for 30 to siddle.

Gooner Leroy · 10 Jul 2013 at 12:41

Oh ffs.

How many reverse sweeps will KP attempt before lunch? I'm going with 5

Monkeymatt · 10 Jul 2013 at 12:50

Pietersen does not look settled here, the Aussies need to get him soon before he starts to bat his way into form otherwise that might be the game and potentially the series gone.

rotters · 10 Jul 2013 at 13:02

I think the 180 odd he got for Surrey prove he's in nick. Just a little ashes nerves.

rotters · 10 Jul 2013 at 13:04

Lunch 98-2.

Expensive morning for Australia, but they have 2 wickets...so I'd give the session as 55:45 Australia.

Gilly · 10 Jul 2013 at 13:05

Not the best, but a steady start.

Happy with the score but very happy how unsettled Oz are looking.

England deffo on top at the moment.

Yas786 · 10 Jul 2013 at 13:48

Oh dear KP out :/...102-3

Gooner Leroy · 10 Jul 2013 at 14:25

trott out now.

rotters · 10 Jul 2013 at 14:26

Was a great ball from siddle. Need to bed down for a bit. The young lad in next...he's not had a lot of cricket recently.

Yas786 · 10 Jul 2013 at 14:26

124-4, Trott out for 48. Siddle making his mark with his 3rd wicket.

Starting to think that this summer might be embarrassing

That said, the ball is apparently moving, so hopefully it will continue to do so for Jimmy.

I assume that we lost the toss? Really should have bowled first under clouds at Trent Bridge otherwise.
