Starts half an hour early so will probably watch the first half hour and see if we're running through them or not...

Ditto, see how 1130 til 12 goes and then inevitably call it when they're about 40 for none

No wicket first ball, but we did get to throw one at Warner so 1-1 for me.

Gone a bit flat.....me and the bowling.....can't keep my eyes open any more so calling it a night! If Warner's still batting in a few hours....we're either knackered or it's raining

Oh dear. Woken up by the dog barking, I can only assume he's a huge Travis Head fan.

Reading that in the first session that Ben Stokes apparently bowled 14 no balls, none of which were picked up as the tech isn't working.....glad we've not rushed him back....

He bowled David Warner off one of them - previous four balls all uncalled no balls. Then got injured.
Pretty horrible day all round for England really. Three main seamers did well, but 20 overs in a day from Wood is a huge problem. Leach clearly had a bad day, but I saw the stat that he hasn't played a home test in the last two summers. That and a lack of preparation feels terminal for our chances in this test, best scenario is to get some practice in here and go again in the second test.

Yeah, expecting a spinner to bowl well first innings at the Gabba a bit ambitious, even when we drew 11 years ago Swann took something like 2 for 130. We're just not very good, only way to increase your stock in this team is to not play!
The fielding has been dog shit today too, dropped catches, over throws and missed run outs. Fucking schoolboy stuff.
edit....I mean no, you don't expect your spinner to go at 10 an over, but regardless, we're shit from 1-11
