Happy to be proved wrong 8) One of the best gritty dosplays ever from our openers, draw should be about safe. Move on to game 2, no fuck ups this time with reviews and missed chances and we'll 'ave em!!

I don't understand what they're trying to achieve by giving teams 2 reviews. If the object of the system is to eliminate umpiring clangers, then one review is all that is needed. Giving them a second review encourages fielding sides to take a punt on buying a wicket they should never really have taken, and worse still it sends youngsters the message that it's perfectly OK to challenge an umpire's authority.

Great fightback by the top three last night ... hopefully Cook will get his double and Trott his ton and we will finally have arrested this awful run of defeats in Brisbane.

And another great day today!

We should be targetting a minimum 300 lead, preferably 400 - and give ourselves 2 days to bowl them out and knock off anything we need a the end should they happen to set anything.

A brilliant performance. And just to rub salt into the Aussie wound, here's a pic of the Adelaide Oval just an hour and a half after the game finished:

Marvellous bowling performance last night, and England are on the brink ...

... surely they can't stuff it up from here?
