Solid rebuild job from Oz, poor spell from Stokes, surprised England haven't tried some short pitch stuff.

WTF sort of wicket is that? It looks like a West Indies rolled mud wicket, no grass at all. Is that the usual Edgebaston pitch?

Australia's session methinks. Rebuilt after the early wickets. Real worries for England with Anderson only bowling 4 overs, especially given the rubbish Stokes sent down. Really, if Anderson only bowls 12 overs today, he shouldn't have been picked.

And sure enough, Anderson has tightness in his calf and needs a scan this afternoon. Shouldn't have been picked and there goes the test match if he czn't bowl again. Stupid.

there goes the test match if he czn't bowl again. Stupid. Not really, England get Oz out dirt cheap now and a miracle occurs and the misfiring batters come good and treble the Oz score, game on! Big ask

112 for 7 Smith has made the pitch look easy as well! 3 day test match on the way...

If Smith finishes on 50 not out or more, he climbs above Voges.

284. Smith rescued a pathetic Australian batting display.
We might see before the end of play whether the Australian bowlers will make a game of it.

Forget the "New Ball".
The call should be "New Umpires, plz"
