I managed to bag tickets for the Old Trafford test today through the Lancs membership scheme

Broad is having a blinder  !! 112-7

Kinell, these lot haven't got the hang of reviews.

 

8!

Remarkable.

Fuck off boomerang slingers

Aus did well in the end. Good effort from the bowlers being one down.

Sat here depressed

Except I'd have taken that before play started.

Fingers crossed for 400+

That’s was a splendid innings from Smith. 

It was, though Siddle was the catalyst. Helped put pressure on the bowlers and tire them out.

Smith at the end was a free spirit and did very well.

Said this morning it's possible any innings of 300 in this series might be a good one

I'm saying they were near enough for me to have them in the lead

Hope I'm miles out, but I bet I'm not

I bet you are

Really?

You think england are getting 400?

It's a fairly flat pitch, a little for the bowlers but not much.

Lyon could be vital for them later.

Aye. Stick around, when the bowlers tire, increase rate later.

The stumps and bails are supporting England.

What sort of lead will England be looking at minimum you reckon? with Bairstow and Ali and Woakes still to come, there's a chance of something big.

Just as many as we can, ideally bat all day, with a minimum of 400, so 120 or so lead.
