    And the bails are already on the ground. The ball isn't dead because the umpire has reached into his pocket.

    Overcast and about 15 degrees at Headingley.
    Only slight chance of rain today but good chance for Saturday and Sunday.
    Whoever wins the toss will bowl ???
    What do we think ?

    With the weather being like it is today and tomorrow, if we win the toss we should elect to bowl first.

    Didn't take long for a western terrace comment on Sky :D Others like Broad and Stokes have mentioned it in the past few days. Wish I was sat in there today.

    It could help if we lose the toss.

    Some high run chases in recent years at Headingley, suggests that the pitch is more likely to get better than worse as the game goes on. Given the line up selected, can't see how Stokes wouldn't bowl if he won the toss.

    Up in the posh seats with a massive flag behind them. Should be good banter if they spot the flag owner :D

    Shame the crowd don’t get a chance to give the whole Aussie team a good welcome at the start. Then again I’m sure the openers will get some warm applause (not).
