I thought Swann looked dangerous in the last few overs tbh

Need both sides to bat before judging (not that I disagree!)

Sorry should have really said the Australian Bowlers.

How's the wicket today? The commentators on 5live haven't really commentated. Is it still looking like it might turn right angles for Swan?

Good to see Broad is back and fit. Should be an exciting days cricket!

Lovely from Swann!

As soon as he finished his over he went off the field. Can he see him missing the next test at this rate and hopefully being fit for the 3rd test.

Excellent bowling jimmy. 2 day game anyone?

Hehe, mighty stuff. Blowers on top form on TMS. When a wicket goes down there is no greater sound than Blowers!

"Oh my goodness me... he's gone, he's gone!"

Bugger. I was reading the prematch stuff and haven't been able to listen to it so far.

Oh Jimmy Jimmy

England on top now

Funnily enough, all the locals sending me text messages yesterday evening, are all quiet tonight!!

Anderson on fire.

Disco Boy · 11 Jul 2013 at 12:01

Three day test match anyone?

rotters · 11 Jul 2013 at 12:05

Loving this frenetic play this morning. But the old fashioned tests seem to be dead.

Alpherah · 11 Jul 2013 at 12:22

Looked more out then not out to me that, but can see why it couldn't be given.

platypus · 11 Jul 2013 at 12:24

Holy crap I went to sort lunch and they've lost 4 wickets!

We were talking about this in the office this morning. We think it's just the advent of the one day game and T20. You don't get batsmen that are there to occupy a crease any more.

Can't keep leaking them handfuls of runs on the last stand though!

Gilly · 11 Jul 2013 at 12:38

Grrrr
