May I be the first to congratulate James Vince on what was a most marvellous innings.

So very unlucky to be runout like that and I'm sure he'll be immensely frustrated.

Still, bodes well for the rest of the series if he can find some form. He is a wonderful stroke-maker.

You could probably do it in a way that makes you sound less of a **** but yes sounds like a fine knock. Aussie pitches may well suit him, still wouldn't trust him at an overcast Headingley in May. And I don't think he was unlucky to be run out - in fact getting run out taking an ill-judged single on the first day of a Test match should be a hanging offence really

Well that was rude.

I think a single was there. There are ill-judged singles that end in runouts and there are occasions when you have to say that the fielding deserved it. He could take another 50 singles like that and be fine each time.

Yes it was - sorry it's been a long night, r . I will say I am impressed that you picked out Malan and Vince to be called up to the England squad last summer which looked very unlikely at the time. Are you sure you aren't an England selector?

I managed to make it through to lunch. I was enjoying Stoneman's dogged and rather unattractive innings. His timing was out and the runs were drying up but he stuck at it well.

Highlight of the first session was Hazlewood chucking the ball at Vince for no particular reason and Vince responding with two fours.

I dont like Cummings. That face, that ****ing stupid tash. ****er.

Not sure why they have been drivelling on about how quick they are. 88/89 with hardly any balls up at 90. Good, but nothing special.

I liked Stoneman. It's a while since we've had our own, Gary Kirsten-style dogged and unattractive left-hander.

Yes, well all the hype about the bowling attack was really rather to convince themselves rather than scare our batsmen. The Brisbane paper's front cover was one of the most pathetic things I have ever seen (even without a massive mistake in it). As much as I would love Malan and Ali to play their natural game we really need to keep them out there as long as possible. All three quicks have been out injured recently - if we can wear them out in the first innings we can prosper in the second (although don't like how much spin their is, Lyon is a very good bowler). in other words it's all ****, eh, p

Apologising on AWIMB? Straight I'm afraid. Off you go.

We're talking about cricket, b - surely we should be civil. We aren't Aussies after all

Well there obviously wasn't a single there as he was run out. If he'd hesitated at all then i would agree with you but if you are relying on a fielder not hitting the stumps then there isn't a run there
