The day just shaded by England I feel but the loss of Butler at the end was a blow.looks like Bell is the GOT version of Osman.and as much as I loved Boycotts comment I wouldn't write him off just yet. The positive attitude England have adopted this summer is very refreshing.you have to play that way to beat the aussies

I remember matches where 190 for 2 was great after the first day ....Boycott was batting but then after he was out we collapsed to 250 all out lol

Not at all, Bell was world class at some points of his career.

Pity the ECB couldn't trust KP really. Imagine him at number 3 in this line up.....oh well, Ian Bell.

would he be God if the knob wicket keeper takes the easy catch and he is gone for a duck?
Nah Bell was world class at one point. His last few test innings have been nothing short of embarrassing.
11, 1, 0, 0, 1, 29, 12, 1 and 1.
Yep.
Yes.

Good to see we never got blown away by the much hyped Aussie attack but we can't waste a top knock by Root by wondering if we had the better of the day or not. All the top order have to stand up if we're to win this series. Looks like it's going to be another fascinating one though and one bad session will cost you the Test.

I don't think I've seen a funnier and more pleasurable moment than when Haddin dropped that catch. lol lol lol.
He's a monumental whopper and would be happy to see Finn put him on his arse tonight. Probably the nastiest piece of work to ever play the game.
I hope we can look back in a few weeks and say he dropped the Ashes.

Both seem to be massively unpopular on here.its probably best to leave osman for another thread but I thought bell recieved an unplayable one today and couldn't do much about it
He's way off form and under pressure no doubt but he's been through these kind of patches before and came through. I bet the aussies would be happy if the selectors dropped him
This.all day long.he epitomises everything I dislike about this aussie side

He's possibly blown the Ashes with that Mirallas moment there. Tosser.

Aforementioned tosser mentioned above takes the lollypop catch and 4/50 and you wouldn't be so chirpy would you?
