Just turned on TMS and they seem to be suggesting Broad is not playing. Huge call if so with Anderson already being rested and Broad's record against Warner among others.

That's alright, can you please just end all your positive predictions with "I didn't really mean that as I don't want to trigger commentator's curse" tho, tia 👍

The decision has made me nervous. I don't reckon the Aussies mind one bit getting into our batting line up early on. Time will tell with our selection but I'm not convinced they've made the right call here.

I think I might take up supporting cricket after tonight.
Can someone explain the rules to me succinctly?. Thanks.

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.

When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

Cheers.
Are we allowed to swear and gesticulate at the players who are out, or in? And which ones play on blue? I like blue.

Also, never forget that the weather can decide the outcome not just of matches, but of whole series of the most important iconic ones in the world, played over weeks

yeah but England havent had a great record bowling first here 2002, 2006, always wonder whether those mind games come into decisions like that where its 50/50.

but its definitely one of those lets survive the first session wickets with only 1 down at the moment

For those that don’t have BT and don’t want to watch via stream, the entire ashes can be watched for free on Bet365 if you log in and leave a quid in the account sitting there.

This is so predictably crap. I winced at Root's decision at the toss in these conditions and I can't say I've changed my mind.

I hate being a pessimist but this was sadly predicable

We have a very ordinary batting line up, what's annoying is after a day, this will start to look like a road
