Wicket...:dancingbanana:

Marsh has gone for 0, bowled by Anderson and caught behind by Buttler.

Nevill in next and he'll need to do something special here or Rogers will run out of partners.

Aus 82 - 5.

It’s raining wickets here.

Anderson bowls Nevill for 2, and he has four wickets in this match already.

Aus are 86 – 6.

This is an England-esque collapse. :lol:

Anderson has a five-for :barscarf:

Johnson goes for 3 playing at an Anderson delivery and is caught by Stokes. Anderson was throwing utter pies at Lord's but when he's on form, as he is today, he's an absolute beast.

Aus 94 - 7.

Don't bring me down, Bruce. :lol: :lol:

I'm not even contemplating our inevitable 64 all out, I just want to enjoy this farce. :barscarf:

Broad strikes to dismiss the dangerous Rogers for 52.

Broad comes around the wicket and strikes Rogers plumb in line; Rogers reviews but he looks doomed……

Given! Rogers goes for 52 and Aus are doomed this innings.

Aus 110 – 8.

Starc has gone for 11.

Caught behind off of Broad’s bowling. Lyon is the last man in and Aus have completely collapsed.

119 – 9.

Jimmy strikes again!

Aus all out for 136 after Anderson clean bowls Lyon for 11.

Fucking marvellous stuff – now for the England collapse.

England lose their first wicket.

Lyth plays at a wide delivery and is caught at the 285th attempt by Voges; a very poor shot from a player who’s all at sea at test level. He goes for 10 off the bowling of Hazlewood

Ian Bell in next and does he need a fucking score.

Eng 20 – 1.

My-oh-my, we make Nathan Lyon look like Shane Muralitharan.

He’s bowled two overs, gone for 3 runs and dismissed Cook and Bell.

Eng 132 - 3.

He copped so much shit it wasn’t true. :lol:

Edgbaston is a great cricket ground; looks a bit of a dump but it’s always buzzing.
