5fa for Cummins.

All out 147.

All out. The Captain got 5/36. Assisted by some very good catching, especially from Hazlewood at fine leg - he took a couple of chances that were certainly not straight-forward (one from Green and one from Cummins).

Yep. The Haz was superb.

Covers coming off. Play possible in about 40 minutes - IF no more rain.

Bad light. Stumps.

England all out 147.

Tipping a draw these next 2 days are wet as.

first test as a captain, in an ashes series, Cummins was seriously kissed on the dick by fate.

Lost the toss, England batted and got run through
Picked up 5 wickets himself
Rain fell at the innings change so we didn't have to bat in the last session, we start off tomorrow with a full day ahead and bowlers knowing it.

Loved every second of it. I had the TV on with MMM for the audio while I was working, the time difference in the two feeds meant if I heard yelling on the radio I could turn in time to see it live on TV.

Lunch 1/113. Harris went cheaply (of course). Warner is 48* and Marnus 53*. Stokes bowled Warner off a no-ball, which was fairly funny.

1/128.

Labu 55*. Warner 60*.

Warner 65*, Labu 63*. Partnership 131 unf.

Australia takes the lead. 1/148. Warner 69*, Marnus 66*.

Post by **Pies4shaw** » Thu Dec 09, 2021 2:14 pm

Marnus gives himself up to the spinner for 74. A little more respect - undeserved and all as it might have been - would have been a good thing. Warner is 84*, [triggering reference deleted] is 4*. 2/175.

[triggering reference deleted] caught behind from Wood for 12. Warner is 90* (despite having played and missed about 14 times). Head joins him. 3/189 - the lead is 42.
