August 6, 201510 yr England have won the toss and will bowl. Edit Clarke will bat at #5 Shaun Marsh is in for Mitchell Marsh. Family connections. Should have dumped Voges
August 6, 201510 yr Author First over, Broad gets Rogers, caught Cook for 0. Broad's 300 test wicket, and so he joins the 2000 runs, 300 wickets club. Make that 301! Same over, Smith caught Root for 6. There was talk of whether Broad could step up as the leader of the attack in Anderson's absence; seems that he can.
August 6, 201510 yr Author <deleted>? Warner c Buttler b Wood 0 8 balls played, Australia 10 for 3! When Clark dropped himself down to number 5, I doubt he expected to be batting after just 8 balls.
August 6, 201510 yr England in control from the off. Lovely bowling length and delivery from Broad. England make a commanding lead early doors.
August 6, 201510 yr Author Before the start, Aggers, McGrath and Swann on TMS were saying that putting Australia in was a bit of a gamble by Cook as the cloud cover will be gone by lunch and it will be perfect batting conditions this afternoon. So they needed 3 or 4 wickets by lunch. It's now 21 for 5 in the fifth over! Voges c Stokes b Broad 1; Broad's 4th wicket. Will Australia last until lunch?
August 6, 201510 yr Author Lowest test score ever was 26 by New Zealand against England at Auckland in 1955. Australia now 27 for 5, so they wont break that ignominious record. Though it is the first time 5 wickets have fallen in the first 5 overs of a test.
