Yeah they should. And was it just me or the found inconclusive evidence in the replay and gave it not out and pitching outside the leg wasn’t the reason.

First boundary in the 14th Over 

[vvvslaxman]

17 overs 20 runs 1 wicket

[vvvslaxman]

Outstanding bowling by Broad. Just keeps missing the edge by a fraction.

[vvvslaxman]

That was 4 in a row. Broad comprehensively beat Labu 4 balls in a row.

[vvvslaxman]

Can prithvi shaw bat like this? Warner despite being an explosive player is willing to bide his time.

[vvvslaxman]

Incredibly restrain Warner displayed. Completely soaked the pressure against Broad.

[Serpico]

Warner before sandpaper gate : avg 48, sr 75

 

Warner since sandpaper gate: avg 50, sr 60

[vvvslaxman]

Robinson looks pedestrian bowling at 120 kph. But he has incredible test numbers.

Wood worn out after 1 test i guess. 

Saving him for MCG & SCG where broad & Andu will be more or less useless.  Good tactics by Poms here.  You need express pace at Melbourne & Sydney. 

[SRT100]

Wickets can tumble in the last session. Still an even game so far.

[vvvslaxman]

What a disciplined batting by Labu despite getting beaten repeatedly by Broad. He is weathering it.

[vvvslaxman]

Butler puts down one.  Fairly simple catch. 

[Laaloo]

[Iconoclast]

No pace in this attack should have brought Saqib bhai

[Lord]

So Smith captaining. Will be permanent captain soon

[rollingstoned]

Warner looked all at sea against broad in the last ashes. Spending time out there does help eventually even if the conditions seem quite benign. 

 

Overall it's been like watching paint dry though. The avg pujara enjoyers fare.
