More ran forecast.

England have to take two wickets with the new ball and bowl tight to stay in the match.

I think Robison is the secret weapon with his very high action.
 
I expect Aussies to be in a good position by the end of the day (assuming rain stays away).
 
When it comes to maintaining "channel pressure' Cummins & Hazlewood combo are second to none. Outstanding channel bowlers. Starc can be erratic. But these 2 look just great when on song.
 
Rain or no rain, england need to get warner early otherwise Englands pathetic total will be wiped out with 40 overs. England not only need to bowl well they need to catch well, something they very rarely do with the latter.
 
300 by the Aussies in the first innings and it should be game over.

England better start doing the rain dance.
 
I am counting on England coming back strongly on day 2. Bowl out the Aussies under 200 and then a solid 2nd innings batting performance.
 
Robinson is like a fast Angus Fraser.

Robinson, Wood, Archer would be a really fearsome bowling attack on a quick pitch.

Just heard Warnie say he bowls 127 KMPH! He looked quite pacy with bounce and swing! Surprised that the ball was that slow...perhaps I need some sleep.
 
Some play and misses from the Australian openers, and there's steep bounce as well.

With the sun baking down for the next few hours, expect the wicket to lose its tinge of green by tomorrow.
 
England did stupid decision to bat on this pitch first , there was no way you could survive Aussies bowling in such conditions
 
Both Teams batting is pretty weak, My gut feeling is that lower order batting will give edge to one team but England would have liked at least 2225 - 230 in first innings.

Warner, Smith and Marnus are three world class batsmen.

England have Root and Stokes in comparison.

However, the rest of Australias batsmen are better than the ******* england have.

If you bowl in right areas , you can trouble the best in business.
 
What have you done stokey? Warner was out but that Bowl was a big no-Ball .
 
Stokes with an embarrassingly big no ball which bowled David Warner. This can prove very expensive.
 
Now Woakes inducing a genuine edge off Labuschagne which didn't carry to first slip as Root was standing a bit far back. Promising thing for England is that the ball is still swinging.

1/34 Australia.
 
Both bowlers get purchase from this surface atleast at this point. May be that is the case every morning.
 
Poor umpiring in the lead up to the Stokes no ball that bowled Warner, all his deliveries prior to that weren't legal either as he had overstepped each time but none of them were called. Given that each ball is supposed to be checked by the third umpire, that's horrendous umpiring. Stokes has some right to feel aggrieved as he wasn't warned in the lead-up to that non-wicket.

It happened the same with Ishant in Australia. He also picked a wicket of noball. Turns out he had bowled 16 no balls none of them were called. They check no ball only when a wicket falls unfortunately.
 
Sounds like England are making a huge effort with the ball and in the field to try and turn things around & get back into the game, and that it’s a good hard-fought contest out there. All that one can ask for really…

No, the rules were changed last year so that it's mandatory for the third umpire to check every delivery. It's pathetic umpiring and the third umpire needs to be taken to task for this.

You are right. I hear this siren sound in recent matches after a noball call is missed. Last time it was not enforced. I understand missing tight calls. This was a clear noball.
 
Robinson is bowling a nice channel. But it swings too much to miss the bat due to shortened length.
 
First 3 balls as well by Ben Stokes was no-balls but umpires didint call anyone of them.
 
If this is how the pitch is going to behave all 5 days they might as well have gone with Anderson or Broad in place of Leach. I know it is an overkill. But ball is swinging for everyone.
 
Eng is bowling too short here. Pitch it up and Aus will be in trouble with 4-5 down.
 
England wasted the conditions. Too full or Too short. Another 10 overs pitch will become a good batting surface.

Now they are bowling fuller length but runs start flowing as well

Slightly back in no man's land to create confusion. If then there will be miss, it will catch some edge.
 
England need to get few wickets here , or Aussies will get a really big lead , Aussies just 59 runs away from English total here
 
Where's the next wicket coming from? Sun's out, Warner and Labuschagne set and sending all bowlers to the fence. Leach brought on and immediately smashed.
 
Root's bowling is more than enough here. Nothing for spinners. Could have used another batsman or bowler.
 
I think Root should bowl a few overs here , this can change the momentum. worth trying

If Warner is set , there is no way he will let leech settle down here , you need to be a good spinner to put Warner quiet in such situation .
 
Australia look set for a lead above 200 runs here, not sure where England will get the next wicket. Excellent session for Warner and Labuschagne.
 
53 runs in the last 61 balls. Australia looking ready to bat England out of the game today.
 
In Aus, spinners do go for plenty. Rarely spinners do well in Aus.
 
On this pitch Andreson probaby would have done something upfront. But in current conditions he would be a liablity. They will pick him off.

Ashwin was so good in both (2018 ,2020) last india tour to Australia.

Rare instances of visiting spinners doing well in Aus. He was instrumental in India winning both series.
 
Australia's batting is far too good at home. 3 of their best batsmen average 60+ in Aus. English medium pacers are just fodder to boost stats for Aussie batsmen.
 
Australia has a better bowling attack for sure. Stoke is back after a break. So will be rusty. Still bowled better than expected. Wood is a skiddier bowler. Natural bounce of good length is not something he does. Robinson was pretty good. But simple discipline was enough to see him off. Now the problem for England is containing Warner. If he gets to 100, he will get even more aggressive.

Bowled well with not much luck. Atleast they deserved one more wicket. But bad field placing in the slip cordon cost them a wicket. First slip was standing way too deep. Then no ball wicket. Numerous balls beat their edge. You can say they bowled them a bit short. That was for only for an hour. Once they settled they look more and more assured. Now in prime position to dominate the English bowling.
 
Woakes is useless and easily of the biggest HTB's going around. It is an absolute farce that he was picked ahead of Broad (who mind you, wouldn't have made a huge difference but he's still a better bowler than Woakes).

Yeah, thanks.

Leach already gone for 31 runs in 3 overs. They will dominate him, Warner in particular.
 
Australia are comfortably the second best test team in the world.

New Zealand are good in home and England conditions although they are yet to beat Australia at home and everywhere else, they are weaker than Australia. Australia atleast have away wins in New Zealand and retained Ashes last time around in England. They were very good in India too as they competed well there.
 
Labu is so solid. Warner got a bit of luck. Now the ball is Old. Post Tea they will pile up runs.
 
Warner has been lucky all day. England must be embarassed by themselves for not getting his wicket yet.
 
Easy run out missed haha oh my god. Warner couldn't even land the bat. Hameed from that close couldn't hit the stumps.
 
This match is pretty much done and dusted unless Aus collapses from here.
 
You need 4 fast bowlers relentlessly attacking the stumps. With Stokes taking an injury break it is down to Robinson and Wood. Even the two that bowl don't make them play often enough. Attack has already become toothless. 4 fast bowlers have to work together. There is a sameness about this attack. Atleast Broad would try some variations.

Another thing is longer OZ bats, more tired the English bowlers will be. Still the temperature is high. Robinson already looks worn out doing Donkey's job.

It has not been even two sessions, but you do need some holding spinner to bowl a long spell from one end. The problem is having a holding spinner in Aus. Often they are expensive. Anyway, there were too few runs and Eng wasted the new ball by bowling too short.
 
I am quiet surprised Root is not bowling to Warner. Root is fairly unimaginative compared to say Kane williamson.
