Fair enough. The Aussie over-rate wasn't the best anyway. I think it was about 50 overs at tea when it's supposed to be 60. Just seen in the Cricinfo commentary that the overs were lost due to over-rate

I'm on track with my quickfire 20 guess!

Broad's intent is quite obvious already! Like Mark said shots like that will really anger the Aussies!

Ed Cowan's a good Tweeter, albeit not such a great player: "Fair to say @stuartbroad8 would be happy he ditched the paper mâché and chicken wire dish he was sporting last season."
EDIT: Here we go, Starc vs. tail.

The Australians trying to bounce out Broad on a slow pitch! Happy days! Australians are Australians. Using up their energies uselessly instead of fast and straight.

Y'know I actually rated Cowan as a player. Thought he was mistreated by Australia in 2013. Even though I don't think he was up to the test level, he should have been given more than that 1 test

He got quite a few Tests before that, I believe, Steadzz. Argh, Cricinfo not updating. Wicket? Huge six? EDIT: Ohsoclose!

A Broad catch that wasn't...
Fended straight up in the air, Voges dived forward, given out, but replays suggested it touched the ground. Not out for my mind.

Cue Australian claims of biased umpiring and England claiming and getting wickets from grounded catches. Get you excuses in early, please!

First 5 overs of the day dealt with. Good start from Mo & Broad. Even if that catch was incredibly close... Oh and the fact Ali just nicked one behind and no one appealled...

Ooh, Ali looked like he edged that on replay. But no appeal...

I'm not complaining. No Live Blog, it seems, today.

The irony of it being Broad is far from lost on me. He's also had a couple of "almosts" from Johnson, who is no doubt fuming. Fifty for Moe comin' up? Hundred for Johnson already up.

Mitch J. has brought up a brilliant century. I hope to see many more from him in this Test series.
