Up the Guts
Steve Williams (59)
Looking pretty good
I think I nodded off an over or two before the last wicket. Bugger!Went to bed at lunch after 30 overs, only 23 before the end. Bugger!
I think we know.First win at Edgbaston since 2001. When we win the Bledislode at Eden Park in a few weeks it will be interesting to see which victroy rates higher.
I think Bancroft has been selected purely on his willingness (and ability) to field at bat pad.
Pat Cummins takes his 100th test wicket in his 21st test. He's thefourthsecond fastest Australian to reach that milestone.corrected.
17 Charlie Turner
21 Pat Cummins
22 Bill Johnston, Jeff Thomson, Dennis Lillee
Surefire tactic for Pommy bowlers to dismiss Smith: let him score 140 runs and you've got 'im.
Talk of Foakes replacing Bairstow. That'd leave the Poms with Foakes, Stokes and Woakes!
