Nice non eventful first ball for a change. |  |

As predictable as a Morsy booking or Bonne offside….. |  | |  |

Crawley facing the first over of an away Ashes series did make me nervous I must admit. |  |

| England win toss and bat on 02:33 - Nov 21 with 1563 views | Perublue | Indeed and absolutely up … but probably going to do TMS if it still exists on world service ? First ball of an ashes series is equal with the Cheltenham roar … will always remember Harmison and his “special” trend setting ball. |  |

Though third best start in an away series for many years apparently - sixth ball rather than first or third 😂 |  |

Is on 5l sports extra, so probably live on Sounds if you can get that if it’s not on WS. I prefer the brilliant TMS for all-nighters, can drift in to the roars and out to the quiet spells without intrusive screen glare or adverts. Tuffers is the tops! |  |

It's good to see he's got those 2 leaves out of the way for the series. Pope showing early promise too... |  |

| England win toss and bat on 02:57 - Nov 21 with 1484 views | gainsboroughblue | Duckett gone. |  |

Then gets lbw’d, and England fruitlessly spend a review in the process :( |  |

Yep im off before I take Brooks wicket... I really shouldn't watch these! |  | |  |
| England win toss and bat on 03:28 - Nov 21 with 1361 views | Guthrum | I need to go back to sleep. But England are scoring fast and never judge a score until both sides have batted. |  |

Me too. I started at 2.20 saying to myself 'I'll listen until drinks'. Starting to think 'Hmm, maybe I can get to lunch'. I've actually done a whole day before adopting the same mindset which made work somewhat interesting. Probably 2010-11 when we actually had something to enjoy. [Post edited 21 Nov 2025 3:40]

I woke up to a totally expected TMS montage of England wickets falling. Archer and Carse making it a far from easy start but it this is a whipping, the (lack of) preparation has got to be questioned. |  |

Impossible to make that connection at this point. We’ve not started well in the last three series either. We’ve bowled very well either side of tea, but we’ve seen this film before with these two at the crease. |  |

I’m calling that my reverse gainsborough. |  |
