Inspection at 1.55

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 12:37:46 PM
Covers are coming off. It's definitely brighter. I know this because I am squinting at the screen.

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 12:45:50 PM
We will begin play at 2.30. If it doesn't rain again. Which it might - the skies are leaden

The Jerusalem man is singing. Incidentally - he only owns one suit

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 1:28:41 PM
It will be James Anderson to bowl from the Vauxhall End. Steve Smith will take strike on 66*.

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 1:29:03 PM
And it's fearsome Broad who takes the ball from the Pavilion End

There's a hint of swing, the crowd are amazingly sedate given they've been drinking for a few hours

Another one bites the dust.Jackson Bird goes home with lower back trouble although he may as well anyway as not in ODI squad

Beauty from Broad getting a lovely bit of movement away from the bat which gets Siddle playing down the wrong line

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 1:45:18 PM
Nightwatchman Siddle struggling a little against Broad but he's still got more than a nightwatchman should

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 1:46:45 PM
Siddle b Anderson 23

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 1:50:47 PM
Glory ball from Anderson removes Siddle's off stump.

Fred Trueman would have had a phrase for that: "It were wasted on thee."

Australia 320/5

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 1:57:06 PM
It is, as you would expect, a bit bowler friendly today.

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 1:57:22 PM
Anderson is, to coin a cliche, making the ball talk

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 1:59:24 PM
When will get our first sight of Kerrigan today?

Some excellent fielding by Bell at extra cover stops a single. England's fielding has been pretty good this Test - well apart from a couple of shelled slip catches - so not that good then.

Our first sight of Woakes today. From the Vauxhall End - these conditions should suit him

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 2:06:31 PM
APPEAL - Woakes hits Haddin's pad but it's sliding down leg and not given

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 2:08:37 PM
And the brollies are going up

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 2:08:44 PM
The brollies have come back down again - this weather is ridiculous

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 2:09:07 PM
Haddin has been hit in the proverbials. Ouch

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 2:09:26 PM
JAFFA KLAXON - Broad misses edge of Smith's bat by milimetres

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 2:13:33 PM
Oh dear me - a mistimed dive by KP lets Smith's cover drive go for 4. KP took a while to get up

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 2:17:04 PM
Smith flashes at one from Woakes which sails alarmingly close to his outside edge. You can feel a wicket coming from one end or the other.

England are very worried about the ball being wet,

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 2:28:36 PM
Clear plan by Haddin to target Woakes here. He'll probably do the same to Kerrigan when he comes on

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 2:29:39 PM
Change of ends for Anderson.
There hasn't been much from Woakes to change people's minds that he's not (yet at least) at third Test seamer

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 2:32:28 PM
Four 4's in six balls. Haddin doesn't mess around

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 2:32:52 PM
Australia 353/5

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 2:36:37 PM
45 runs added in the hour we have been playing

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 2:36:54 PM
A maiden from Woakes. No sign of Swann or Kerrigan yet. This isn't their day really - this is one for the seamers

by Lee Harvey 8/22/2013 2:45:58 PM
Appeal from Prior - he thinks Haddin has hit it behind. And they've decided to review. Only Prior appealed. How weird

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 2:47:19 PM
What a weird review - he was nowhere near it. Hit the thigh pad on the way through but nowhere near the bat

by Lizzy Ammon 8/22/2013 2:48:13 PM
Brad Haddin has lost his mojo. Can't time a thing now
