This series should be an absolute cracker - think the Aussies will edge it (their bowling unit is incredible) but I'm excited anyway!

I hope Warner can have a good final series. I kind of hate the bastard, but he's been bad in the Ashes for so long it would be nice to see that change.

See, I'm praying for Broad to do what he does best  |

As to who is going to win... probably us. Our batting line-up is just too good. But I'm hoping to be surprised, close contests are always the most fun to watch.  |

Yeah, not sure what the odds are but Aus feel like favourites.

Aus series win here too but as long as it's a bloody good series the end result kind of matters not.

Still trying to get over that first ball of the Ashes, sign of intent for sure - far cry from Harmison chucking it wide for four extras all those years ago.

Not great to lose Crawley there though.

How are we doing? Middle-order collapse?
Ah, I see we've got Root and Bairstow having some fun.

It's not a terrible score so far. Add another hundred or so and it'll be competitive.

Haha, saw the Aussies were on and assumed we'd lost a few quick wickets!

On this wicket I was expecting Smith to get 200 and still be batting tomorrow evening.
Happy to be proved wrong....

I wasn't expecting that one. Warner is always going to do Warner; I think the Broad thing has messed with his psyche, so him fucking up is like a self-fulfilling prophecy. But Smith and Labuschagne are generally pretty good at sticking around.
Sigh. It's not going to be an easy way back from here!

England's tactics spot on so far. Really stifling the scoring which is creating pressure and opportunities. Big session coming up after lunch.
