Phil - cheeky, but can you pin?? I know a fair few of us are interested in chatting about this as well as ITFC.
To kick start - series predictions?
I am going Australia 2-3 England.

Not a morning for 'Rommentary' so far!
This break might be good for us to be honest. Starting again under the lights with cloud, moisture etc. and we could take a few quick wickets.
Are you heading up for the game today? |
Rommentary 
At least the Aussie momentum has been stopped I suppose.
I am indeed. Leaving rommersville at 12:53 |  |

Watching the highlights of Cook and Pietersen at their best - wow.
Let's hope for a good session when the rain stops, and a 3-1 for Town. |  | | |

English attack has bowled one ball from 13.5 overs which would’ve hit the stumps! Hopefully, after the resumption they might now realise they need to pitch it up more. |  |

Great over from Broad and some great fielding.
Let's have them 50-3 and then it'll get dark... | | | |

🚨Wicket! 🚨
Bancroft run out. What an absolute shambles. A run out in a test match is the cardinal sin. Woakes gets the direct hit and England have their breakthrough. The Aussies have needlessly lost their first wicket.
36-1 | |

Broad is looking great - a lot depends on what happens when Woakes and Overton come properly into the attack.
I wish Broad could bowl for 20 overs! | | | |

Short spells for him, like all of us he’s getting older. | |

🚨WICKET! 🚨
Got him! Woakes gets the edge and out goes Warner. He had been batting nicely but he tries to cut the ball back of a length through point but instead clips it through to Bairstow.
I was just thinking that this test (moreso the lack of movement from both spin and seam) looks destined for a draw even at this early stage and should have a bet on it. The very next ball.. breakthrough.
Can we bring a 3rd wicket? Already Aussie confusion off the first ball for smith as Khawaja tried to back up for a single and is nearly run out. The direct hit missed but he was probably in anyway. Edgy cricket from the Kangaroo hoppers.
89-2 | |

What on earth has Root done, nothing in this pitch. Woakes bowling far too short |  | | |

Short ball from Woakes... top edge...surely.. NO!
Stoneman drops on the boundary on the run from Khawajas attempted pull shot. What a huge moment and possibly a critical error even at this early stage of the test match.
Massive massive chance | |

Like the look of Overton causing the Aussie batsmen a few problems. | |

He’s a bit nippy but overall they are having to work so hard to even trouble them. Maybe the pitch will just get flatter and that’s why they are bowling. Looks like it’s going to put a lot of pressure on the batsmen though | | | |

Great bowling and catch there. Come on England, let's do some damage now it's getting cold and dark! | | | |

🚨WICKET!🚨
Ohhh Jimmy Jimmy..
England get a wicket straight after the 'dinner' interval as Anderson tempts Khawaja into a loose drive that goes straight to James Vince in the slips. Sharp catch to his left in 4th slip I think.
138-3 | |

Great Rommentary!
We need to get Smith, just so it doesn't feel like he's invincible for the whole series. I genuinely feel that if we don't get him in this session, it will have a massive psychological impact on us for the series. | | | |

Tricky pitch this, for Adelaide. England 150 all out in their first innings. Def info. |  | | |

He's not looking like getting out at all unfortunately | |

🚨WICKET!🚨
Smith has gone. Repeat - Smith has gone. We have got out the Australian Captain. Overton is the man as he gets smith on the inside edge that cannons into his odd stump. Smith played a front foot defensive shot that he so often leaves but has been done for Overtons first wicket. The inside edge goes through the gate and England are bang in this test match.
Come on England!!! Finally something worth staying up all night for.
162-4 | |

It's evenly balanced right now - it'll be a low scoring game so 300 might be a good score.
A couple of wickets tonight seem pretty important. | | | |

Craig brother Jamie is much more quicker but unfortunately made of paper. | |

Overton is bowling in the mid-seventies right now - we could really use some genuine pace, especially later in the series. | | | |

That's Australia's day then.
We need a good session tomorrow or the series could start slipping away within 7 days! | | | |
