Looks like she’s gonna be a tough first session but once that ball gets older, there’s some runs to be had with that outfield.

No doubt it will start hooping around

Broad is the person at the party who tries to get everyone doing something when everyone is content doing what they are doing.

With the ground looking dry and abrasive I wonder whether reverse swing will play a fair part in this test

Mark Butcher is a welcome addition to the commentary box. He’s a very knowledgeable commentator.

Who is replacing Ponting?

If Warner could have just learned to resist the unnecessary dabble, he would have made a ton on this outfield.

I’m not sure I’ve heard many if any ex English players say Bairstow wasn’t out.

Patience Marn… get back to leaving anything 4/5th stump

Lovely shot
