[Donny]

[Donny]

Lyon claims Stokes.

5/164.

[Donny]

Good comeback from Lyon. Was copping some stick.

[Donny]

Now, Bairstow cops a kicker from Cummins, on his right hand.

May have to go off.

[Pies4shaw]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a batsman walk on an lbw before.

[Donny]

Buttler gorrrrrrrrrrrnnnnn, A Cummins wicket. Caught by Khawaja.

6/173.

[K]

Oz favourites for first time!!

But England need to do better... If they don't, the idiots will claim this is a bowlers' wicket. It's not. It's a batters' wicket. Still. Ya know it's a batters' wicket when Mr. KnickIt, Khawaja, scores a century. Even the flat-track bully scored a few runs yesterday!!

Update:

At 6/184, sb odds are...
Oz 1.76, Draw 2.13, England 80.00.

[Donny]

Bairstow going on with it. 82*.

6/193.

[K]

Wowee. Gotta say... Bairstow looks very fat. Mini-Smith?

I know this is a sensitive topic in society... But in pro sport, fitness matters. And they are paid well to be professional.

[K]

England bring up 200...

And Oz's favouritism didn't last long!

Draw is favourite again!!

Draw 1.67, Oz 2.27, England 65.00.

[Donny]

6/218.

Bairstow 90*, Wood 19*.

[K]

England avoid the follow on.

Odds:
Draw 1.51, Oz 2.60, England 58.00.

Err... make that
Draw 1.43, Oz 2.85, England 54.00.

[K]

...
Bairstow 90*, Wood 19*.

Wowee... If Jonny scores a century, it'll show how flat the pitch still is. Just like when Khawaja scored his (with the help of a dropped catch, of course).

They say there's some variable bounce... But unless it actually gets a wicket, variable bounce is just optics. Show me a ball scuttle along the ground and bowl a batsman... Then I'll get interested.
