    Yeah, such a shame that Leech got injured as he was looking like a real talent.

    Moeen can do a job, but Lyon is world class.

    Definitely going to miss Leech as we dont have any other real test class spinners - Ali maybe on his day but other times Root will be more likely

    Root looking a bit like a wicket waiting to happen at the moment - hope he finds his mojo before they get him out

    Aussies are ahead of the game after the first session

    You are having a bit of a mare here - a bit like Erasmus

    Unfortunately that last wicket means I think Australia are ahead so far - 3 wickets in the first session having lost the toss is something they will be delighted with. Need to be getting at least 400 batting first on here and its looking a long way off at the moment

    Even with three down I would rather be in our position right now. Disappointing to lose a wicket at the start and end of a session.

    124 runs on the board but that wicket right on lunch has the Aussies ahead for me. A couple of quick wickets after lunch and they will really be in the ascendancy. This is an absolute road for batting on. 450 minimum needed in the 1st innings.
    Wait until Labuschange and Smith get a chance on this wicket.

    I thought I had seen all dismissals possible over the years but Brooks dismissal is a new one - desperately unlucky

    This pitch is a road, 600 at least. We might still get there but that should be the minimum here.

    Not looking likely at the minute we will do well to get to 300 - Stokes throws his wicket away and wastes a review as well

    Looking ominous now. And we're going to struggle to even get the third wicket in their innings, let alone 20 wickets in the match.
