Man I really thought England had it after that morning spell from Stuart Broad. But now Australia is still in it!

Thanks! I just want someone to post about these!

How good is this Test so far? It's great to see two talented sides playing positive cricket.

Cracker of a day 1! What can we expect Stokes to do for day 2? Bowling with a sombrero on? Chug a drink for every dropped catch?

Whatever it is, I'm loving it!

Impressive batting from Khawaja. He was dominant with the pull shot, and in general just looked comfortable the entire day. And there's been enough contributions from the other batters that Australia are probably slightly ahead at the moment.

There's nothing like uzzy in a jumper in the uk summer

Stokes:

  • brings in Mo as a replacement for Leach
  • immediately bowls famous demon pace turn offie leggie death bowler Harry Brook

What

Pundits wondering about the declaration, I just think Stokes declared to prevent Gary getting a 5fer

Aus might need to bat at a good pace today if they want a result, weather looks less than ideal tomorrow

Could use that reserve day that the WTC final didn't end up needing.

Weather's cooling down, think it'll be a batter's day easily
