97/7
How is it going now?
Pretty badly for England. 136/9. Lyon running riot. He’s picked up 6 of the 9 wickets.
England all out for 146. A 251 run hammering.
Good to see normal service resuming in the ashes after the competitive nature of last 14 years, the whitewash down under aside.
Great stuff, a real pasting
Dale Steyn has retired from test cricket. Greatest fast bowler of his generation.
One of them.
If you’re playing an Ashes series from early August to mid September, a lot of rain is pretty much guaranteed.
Not going to be much play, if any today, the way the rain is coming down. This looks a nailed on draw already.
Fine day tomorrow. Rain all weekend by the looks.
England 138/6. Another dismal batting effort. England could conspire to lose this yet despite the weather forecast for the weekend.
England scrape from 138/6 to 258 all out. If all this rain does arrive, those lower order runs might save England’s bacon.
Two quick wickets for England. Bancroft and Khawaja gone in the space of four deliveries. 60/3.
71/4. Broad picks up the wicket of Head.
Can’t be long left today.
It’s drizzling and very overcast.
It’s absolutely teeming up north
Wade given out lbw but overturned on review. Terrible umpiring again, that was going nowhere near stumps.
