In seaming overcast conditions, there is no one better than Anderson. He's been outstanding.
Wood's injury might have been a blessing. Finn has been brilliant too.

Australia have lose all their reviews after Broad got Rogers LBW. England will bat today. You'd hope Australia's bowling effort at Lords has opened up some old wounds for England.
I only just got round to checking the score, wtf happened today?
Good bowling from England which led to poor decision making from Australia.
Lyth 
Sigh.

He needs to make a score in the 2nd innings (if England bats) otherwise could be a case of bringing Hales in or moving Bell to open and bring in Taylor.
Aussie bowling looking average these last few overs.
wtf!! So unlucky Cook...
What a weird dismissal.
Wow just looked, welcome back to form Jimmy Anderson
In hindsight, a terrible decisions to bat first by Clarke.
Perfect conditions for Anderson.

stupid shot from Bell. England 132-3
What a strange days cricket so far.

Ian Bell in a nutshell today I'm afraid.
Lovely, confident shot making, beautiful to watch and looking solid and then plays an ugly slog off some innocuous spin bowling. He's done enough to save his England career you should think but what a shame he couldn't have been so much more.

Reminds me of Nasser Hossain, nearly world class but simply could not go that extra 2% to put himself into the Dravid/Ponting type class of player.
Well thats a good start.
You don't need to play at those FFS.
Go for a shave and Australia takes a wicket, get in!
Now this is a contest.
any chance someone can pm me a stream?
Buttler needs to use his feet more vs. Lyon, gets trapped on the crease too much.
EDIT: Did get further forward than it looked to be fair.

No way is that going over the stumps

.Why didn't Buttler review it he was the last pure batsman he just had to review it
Heck of a pitch, turn, bounce and seam all within the first 2 days.
Damaging partnership, this.
Handy lead but with Cook, Bell and Root all getting out being well set I think England will be disappointed it isn't greater.
Agreed, I don't think it's enough, unless Anderson can blow them away again, but I doubt it would happen twice in the same match.
I'm just glad I don't have tickets for the weekend, because this could be over tomorrow
Is the pitch that difficult to bat on?I'm just glad I don't have tickets for the weekend, because this could be over tomorrow
England haven't batted Australia out of the game. I fear this could be a close one.
Australia have to set England 250 for me if they want to win this match.
Jimmy is having a sledge.
We still owe him one broken feckin arm.

Some of these shots these batsmen play nowadays, christ.
In before Warner plays a stupid shot inevitably
It's not as bad as the stats would tell you, but 22 wickets falling before the end of the fifth session is bloody impressive. I can see this ending tomorrow.
I see this ending tonight
Finn looks revitalised.
Well, this has been one roller coaster series so far.
If Mitch has a super Saiyan session tomorrow, you could easily see England being 40-4 or something...on the proviso Aussies manage to get a 150 lead.
Tomorrow isn't looking all that likely, at the moment. Let alone a 150 lead.
Finn-tastic spell.
