Think I#ll hit my bed at lunch. If I wake up during the night, or I can't get to sleep (which is more often than I would like) I'll check the Ipad, and if we get more wickets I might get up and watch it again.........hey up, Marsh out as I type.......Aussies effectively 14/4......

and it's Lunch. 

[Vincent Vega]

Broad gets Shaun Marsh. Aussies effectively 14 for 4. Small chance of a win?

[Vincent Vega]

Much like the England players, a fair few of these Aussie players are fair weather players who tend to turn it on when their team is on top.

[Brownie]

Finally something’s happening.

[Trumo]

The Aussies have recalled Ashton Agar for the 5th test. He seems to have fallen off the cricketing radar since nearly hitting a century batting No11 on his Ashes debut in 2013.

[lifetime fan]

ICC rate the Melbourne pitch as ‘poor’.

Stokes has been withdrawn from the ODI squad and is allowed to play in the IPL. Fair play to the lad, he’s gonna make a fortune

Anyone going to bother staying up tonight?

Rain delays start.

I'm at work so will be keeping an eye on the rain delays

[Jose Jones]

Stoneman gone for 24. Has he done enough to get another series?

Been ok and shown a decent range of skills, averaging just about 30 though. Maybe needs a score in the second innings.

[Brownie]

That last couple of overs, FFS.

[Stickman]

Brilliant tactics and captiancy as usual from England to send Bairstow out for the last few overs....

Who cares really? They’re 3-0 down and night watchmen are shit anyway.

[Pureblood]

Bit of a bottle job to throw Mason Crane in when the party is over.

 

Grow a pair and let him play in a meaningful test match.  It's all a bit Scott Borthwick.

I'm watching this Jofra Archer bloke in the Big Bash.

 

Bowls close to 150kmh. Very athletic and effortless.

 

He's a prospect alright.

 

One for the future for England.

What the fuck would we want with a bowler that bowls quick enough to threaten international batsman on pitches that aren't green tops?

You're right, strike that.

[Brownie]

Cannot get my head around those two drops by the Aussies. Never seen anything like it!

[Brownie]

Great partnership between Curran and Broad gets England to 335-8. Below par but better than expected from 233-5.

[Brownie]

346 all out.

 

Not enough but better than it could’ve been.

[lifetime fan]

Warner gone.

West Indian I think, unless England can poach him in the usual South African manner.

Yeah, he is... but I think he's half-way through the "qualification" period.
