221/3

England will look at 400+ lead if possible by end of tommorow and then u put them in a screwed up situation,that they will succumb to pressure.
England can then win it with ease from there.Looks like a ploy,ain't it ??

100*  to Joe

54.2  Warner to Root, FOUR  third Ashes century for Root.
 

Trent Bridge raises itself to a roar !!

200 lead up !

59.1  Hazlewood to Bairstow, FOUR, pulled it right out of the top draw. Length and outside off, no means a half-volley.

Punchily driven past the covers
 

60.3

Lyon to Root, SIX, pushed through on middle, Root switches to a higher gear. He sinks to one knee and slog-sweeps it

up and over deep midwicket, first six of the Test  ;D
 

61.5
Hazlewood to Bairstow, picks out Rogers at square leg. Rogers bobbles and clutches it against his stomach.

No century for Jonny  :-[        The 173-run stand has been broken by a cross-seam ball.

Bairstow c Rogers b Hazlewood 74

Cook's decision to send in Wood will be explained with a paragraph vetted by 6 separate MBAs. Clarke will compare Aus to an under 9 team.

Wood night-watched an entire over from Starc.  :-[

274 - 4

Lead of 214 : Joe Root :  124*


6:37pm: Joe Root raises his bat and salutes the crowd as he walks back. Australia 60 all out;

Stumps, Day 1 

Root out for 130, edging one from Starc behind to Nevill. England 297/5. A brilliant innings from Root.
