Ball hasn't swung at all, bit of bounce but Warner looking dangerous and need him out!

Looks like the silent treatment didn't work then  Hmmm
The local rag won't name Broad!

Stopped for tea. Decision time - sleep or stay up for last session?

Damn work. Got up at tea and pleasantly surprised with that score. Shame have to leave for work in a mo. Last session shaping up nicely. Nice to see Broad in the wickets, take that you whingeing aussie barstards.

Fifth wicket of the day for Broad - new ball did the trick

Fairly happy with that TBH, considering our recent record in first Tests, and that we are playing this one in their fortress. 

Less happy about my own 'form', though.  I only managed to watch the first hour (started falling asleep) and the last hour on TV but also listened to the radio commentary for a while in between.  I've become a 'lightweight'!

PS - Thought at one point that Geoffrey Boycott was going to have a seizure when he got so angry with Swann's tactics after the Tea Interval.  What a knob!

England's day for sure, would have been nice to knock them over for less than 200 when they were 132-6 but I'll take 8 wickets for less than 300 on Day 1...Broad bowled very well, and a great way to silence those Aussie bandits! If England can snick the tail early and put runs on the board then we'll control this test match (the word of course being 'IF'). Managed the first session until 2am, feeling surprisingly good at work today!
