Ashes anyone?

Lots of action on day one! Both teams capitulating.

[Scratch]

If you've got a ticket for day 4 or 5, you may be getting a refund at this rate....day 3 is looking dodgy too

[Yozza]

Mental day..

England
172 all out

Australia
123-9

Australia trail England by 49 runs with 1 wicket remaining

I can't stand these boring 5 day tests, there is never any action compared to the limited overs game

Aussie batting looks super fragile doesn't it? More leeway for the Poms, as adjusting to Perth speed / bounce (even if it's not the WACA) takes a while

This might be over in 3 days, but it should really be a dream to bat on from midway on the 2nd day, so if anyone can survive their first 30 balls, they could be in for a big score

[ChesterDave]

Live text commentary said it was definitely a 400 run wicket. We're not even combined 300 yet with 19 wickets gone

[SB]

Yeah the commentators here said it was a 350 wicket & were dumping **** on the Poms when we were bowled out. Just maybe , the commentators aren’t as smart as they think

[Norbs]

What's the point of Crawley?

[Buzzo]

Travis Head on the rampage.

[Norbs]

Haha, Australia have played a blinder here

[Buzzo]

The comms on TNT is ****ing woeful.

[Buzzo]

Travis Head totally showboating.

[ChesterDave]

Crawley, Root, and Stokes with a combined 2 innings total of 16

[Buzzo]

The first two day test match in 104 years!

[Irishnev]

The first two day test match in 104 years!

Bazzball….. in fairness, England were in the driving seat and then utterly collapsed. Head showed that aggression was the right strategy but the English bowlers seemed unable to find the right length in the second innings.
