Remember Edgbaston 2005?

Same result here; or will it go the other way?

Odds still favour England, but; Finn's drop, Bairstow missing the run out by a country mile. They must take the chance when it next comes.

Anderson only had cramp; should be fit for after lunch. Can he get 10?

Haha I can feel the tension from here....if the Ausdies win I will fall off my barstool laughing.....if England win I will smile smugly.

I love being a sweaty sometimes!

Best of both worlds for you in this case

I am afraid we must agree to disagree 7x7

At last!

We must agree to differ.

I've ordered a pint of Strongbow, to encourage England

Dammit! James Anderson back on...

Will England down a wicket before I can down this Strongbow?

Will England down a wicket before I can down this Strongbow?

I know ya don't care either way.

Will England down a wicket before I can down this Strongbow?

Or will Australia pile on the runs that they need?

strongbow?

scrumpy jack ummmm

If England don't win, I'll feel this Strongbow was a waste of time.

And I still have the Wire - Giants game

Oh - and England appealing but its a long shot...

Review, may as well as England still have 2 left; there seems to be a mark on hot spot..........................

Haddin's out; England win.

But very well played Australia. Who would have thought 5 days ago that it would be this close?

Shame it had to end on a DRS.

Oh the irony of technology deciding the game.

Shame really, was a cracking test match and full respect to the last 2 Aussie batsmen, I think the Aussie batting order maybe upside down

scrumpy does the trick

SC,

Cyder isn't clear and fizzy and it doesn't come in a can or keg.

It's cloudy and still and comes from a big barrel on the farm!

The party's over..... it's time to turn out the lights....

Congratulations to the England team.

What a match. Full of twists and turns and controversy and with an engrossing ending.

Let's hope the second test is just as good

So much for the pre Ashes hype of a one-sided affair, not sure i can take another 4 matches like that.

Well done Poms ...

Bet we had you worried there for the last hour!

Bring on game #2 !

Tremendous game.

Hard luck you cork popping chumps. Onward and upward....you contributed to a highly entertainibg match!

Worried?......we had 14 runs to spare!

Bring on game 2 indeed, this was a cracker.

Maybe yours does. Personally, I drink what I can, and forget about what I can't. I don't drink Kilkenny or Guinness out of choice either

Fair point

Man of the match; Jimmy Anderson.

Well deserved.

wow ! what a hornet's nest that has rattled up for the 2nd test at Lords on Thursday.

just a shame Billy the trumpeter wasn't granted permission into the ground and the same applies for the home of cricket.

I am watching on Thursday....send the Aussies in to bat next time!

just be sure you wash around the cracks and give yourself a good airing.

you know the opposite to how your wallet must feel.

What a match.... can we have four more like that please!

We won but I have to say it was more like an honourable draw.

The real winner was Test cricket.

I asked an Aussie today about the Ashes....he said he wasn't interested

The Australians I was speaking to last night said that they were no longer interested in sport after last weekend
