Newbie in after lunch with him!67-4 for lunch.. Smith is the key wicket now
Perhaps the ECB should fine themselves for a sh*t wicket?Just the 8 wickets down since tea
And people still think Lords is good for cricket....Just the 8 wickets down since tea
I've always wondered how do they decide which of the openers is number one and two? Is it whoever faces the first delivery?

England alone have played over a 1000 test matches in England
Worst post ever !!!The sooner they tear every inch of Lords up, the better.
Overpriced with a horrible pitch.
So its good value with an amazing pitch?H
Worst post ever !!!
I completely unrderstand and agree with the history bit, but players were desperate to play at Lords years ago, now players hate playing there because the pitch is always so poor.It’s Lords mate , last thing we need is more history disappearing
I was there todayThe sooner they tear every inch of Lords up, the better.

Oh trust me, i dont want to see huge scores either, i like seeing fair matches where if somebody has bowled well they take wickets rather than being gifted them, the same as when a bat gets in they can go onI was there today
This was a fascinating days Test cricket
Brilliant bowling
No idea who was on top
14 wickets in a day
More of this the better
550 playing 500 is so boring !
Thats not a bad price at all.It wasn't extortionate today
Instead of 120 quid for England Test my ticket was more reasonable 55 quid
Wouldn't surprise me if this was something to do with viewers on the subcontinent as that has happened before.Why have they started already, not put their watches to British time?
The turd Lyon gone ?? ?
Come on SA.
it must be easier to bat on now though, If Starc has 40 odd?Its game over now. You cannot f*** with Australia in world finals they just dominate and are incredible hard to beat in these situations.
I don't concur to that - SA were batting in sunnyish conditions on Day 1 and they were 47-4 at the close.it must be easier to bat on now though, If Starc has 40 odd?

There are thunderstorms forcast for London this evening, so cloud over very quickly. Hope it doesn't, SA much more positive here.Tea 94 for 2
But watchout
Look at the carnage that followed after tea on both days 1 and 2
