    First Test today

    Unfortunately for England, Australia won the toss on a glorious day and have decided to bat. The Lords pitch is reknowned for being lifeless for the first couple of days and then offering more to the bowlers subsequently.

    Australia are currently 49 for 1.

    I'm off home at three to watch the last session

    178 for 8

    Down to the tail now, the middle order proved a bit more tricky to remove. Don't know what's happened with the pitch - I can't believe, altho' I want to, that England's attack have pulverised the Aussie batsmen. I'd guess that there must be something in it for the bowlers, which is tres unusual for Lords on a blazing hot summer's day.

    I guess we will know when Trescothick and Strauss walk out there and start batting. Hopefully for the Afternoon session

    Australia all out for 190

    Steven Harmison took a fivefor (5-43).

    An excellent effort all round, well done chaps. Can't wait to see the England batting later!

    True but basketball is better.

    Cricket is like baseball to me...just with a "can't miss bat" and no diamond.

    I imagine it's fun to play though. I like all sports to a degree whether it's as a spectator or actually participating.

    For most it's what you grew up with.

    Brillant day's cricket yesterday. McGrath bowled superbly for the Aussies, as did Lee toward the end.

    Since my prediction about a flat, even Lords pitch and lots of runs was so successful yesterday, I'll make another:

    Today England will get bowled out for circa 120 and Australia will make something like 330 in their next innings. England will fare better in their next innings with someone, prolly Strauss, making a century but will end up as plucky losers early on in the fourth day.

    England all out for 155. Which under the circumstances is pretty respectable!!

    Great last wicket stand of 33 by Harmison and Jones.
