And we're into Moe-town.
Incidentally, apparently Johnson removed his hat and kissed the badge on his hundred. Good sport from the man there.
EDIT: Well, I said a quick 20 - a 26-ball 18 isn't far off.

Terrible shot first up by Broad. Still a useful 50 partnership. Wood can hopefully get a few more now to aid Moeen!

400-8 having been 43-3?
Excellent.

Well done Moe, full batting points. And Haddin concedes a few more byes, which is nice.
Now, after Wood's pre-Ashes short-stuff "chat" (groan), will he get some of it back? Or, worse, will he try to give it on a pudding-pitch (as Geoffrey endlessly calls it)?

Ali looks like he's just going to go after the Aussies now

I hope that in doing so he doesn't give Johnson a wicket! Would be a perfect start to the series if MJ ended up on 0-for-a hundred and whatever.
No Wood wot r u doin.

Anyone still think Aussies have an upper hand? As I said yesterday, it was an odd day, even but one that neither side would be particularly pleased about.

So, 73-1 in the first hour of play. Are we happy with that? I know I am!

Not any more, Sri. Moeen and (oh dear) Broad took that away from them. But as MfM and I agreed earlier, England would have been happier with yesterday than Oz.
AS IT SHOULD BE.

Morning Mark, apologies for the non-reply last night, guess the blog was closed sooner than usual. By the time I read your last post, I couldn't post anything.
