Game not coming at the right time for me, which means that I have to record the highlights and watch later. Managed to catch first day with only a hint that the Aussies were batting and we were down as far as Haddin.
Can never judge until both sides have batted, but I was surprised at how there didn't appear much playing and missing by the Aussies. Seem to be all thwacking and batsmen getting themselves out - Although there were a couple of jaffas in there.
Hopefully we can polish them off in the morning and discover the wicket is as much of a belter as they kept saying in commentary. Would like to see Carberry get himself in and whack it around with Cook for a 'daddy ton' as Mr Gooch likes to call it.

Anyone else staying up to watch the morning session of Day 2? How many overs do you think it will take to get those last two Aussie wickets? I'm going for 10 overs (but I hope it's only 2 or 3).

Suffered from watching the first day from 1.30 onwards this morning, but I guess I will be here for the second day. I'm back to work Friday night, so won't see the rest of the match. Might as well stay in night shift mode. It really looked like we would bowl them out for under 200 - still happy with the score though |

Still need to take the last 2 for under the 300 total, so no more that 10 overs |

Hope the Aussies get to at least 350 and make a game of it. Nothing more boring than a one sided Test Match and Test Match series.
Be nice to see them win the first test and apply some pressure on England and Wales.

This We can complain about it being one-sided when we are 2-0 up |

Hopefully we get the final 2 wickets in the first half hour. If we can then see off the new ball and bat for the rest of the day we will be in a very strong position.

Big first half hour this morning; ideal situation England snick these last 2 out and start batting!
Felt fine at work today on 6 hours sleep; planning same again tonight! Least it's the weekend for days 3-4!
