Nail on head Dreams, couldn't agree more, ironically Stokes did just that when he came to the crease. This is now setup beautifully and I for one can't wait to see how the next 3 days pan out.

For all the critics of bazball, here is the scorecard from the last England test innings before the Bazball revolution. West Indies won by 10wkts I can’t wait to go back to this halcyon days, can you…..

Fingers under the ball?

Root and Crawley should not be attempting to play T20 innings as both of them are technically excellent, even though Crawley has struggled at times. The rest of them, go for it, but play the situation, when it calls for consolidation take a step back and calm things down. When Boycott played the fans queued to get out rather than queued to get in, how times have changed.

What another tremendous days cricket and it’s not over yet.

Superb stuff Dreams, enjoy 👍

Very good morning for England, clearing up the Aussies in good time, now we have to dig in, get through the new ball and get somewhere near 350/400. 🤞

Great catch Duckett, Smith goes, great knock.

Note to everyone, your social media accounts follow you around, don’t post anything you don’t want dragging up in years to come:

Carey goes, Broad wicket under the review process.

New ball, we need to strike early, first hour will be crucial.

Great bit of work by Bairstow to get rid of head, Green gone now too. Root takes 2 wickets, 5 down now Aussies.

Tongue just knocked him over with an absolute beauty. 87mph swinging in, what a wonderful delivery.

Get some backbone.

England win the toss and bowl first - A big cheer went up around the ground!

All out pace attack from England today on a seam friendly pitch, cloudy overcast conditions in St John’s Wood, but who will win the toss? It’s the 2nd Ashes test and I for one can’t wait. Come on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Yes and that is one of the most enjoyable aspects of any festival, discovering new music o2g, I really enjoyed The Tesky Brothers, they've been around a while but I'd never heard them. Reading online Rick Astley doing a entire set of Smiths songs, with The Blossoms? in a tent, was many peoples highlight! Takes all sorts I guess.

Glad they didn't drop Bairstow, he needs games after a long layoff and did more than enough with the bat to retain his place. More of the same please, but lets have a (w) in the results column.

I'm really surprised to read that, I'm not a massive of Elton John fan myself, but as a music fan I can appreciate his body of work, his set was superb on Tv, he's 76yrs old and hardly missed a note. I read today it was the largest ever crowd for an artist at Glastonbury, around 120k people and 7m on Tv, a send off he deserves in my book, a real legend, where are the next legends coming from......

He always came across as a really nice chap.

I watched Cat Stevens after Elton, superb stuff. Where are all the current headliners? I love seeing the legends, but Arctic Monkeys aside is pretty barren right now.

Elton is smashing the Pyramid stage right now!
