Don't see them scoring over 300 too much either.

This BT coverage is tragic.
Matt is cocking up all over the place.
fecking hell.
Great start
Long winter lads.
HonestlyThere’s something about the first morning of an away ashes series that would make me want to bowl.
I thought they would have with the lack of preparation it would have seemed the easiest way to inch into the match for me.
Tuned in late... Turned off immediately.
Poor attempt at a reverse jinx
Edit: For some reason I thought he was 1st man down
looking forward to his match winning double century.Another one gone.

Get your pads on Woakesy lad.
Just said to my mate at the start of play over or under on 4.5 wickets before lunch? He went over.
As usual, Joe Root is England’s real opening batsman
Embarrassing start this
3 down. We might not last to lunch.
Good thing England have got their best swing bowlers ready to make use of the conditions and save their shite batters
Worth a quick bet on Hameed to carry his bat?
That was a good ball to be fair.
29-4
29-4
I wish I'd done the Hameed bet now.
Bite your hand off for 200
Hazlewood gives you nothing
Why let this bowling attack match up against this batting lineup in these conditions?
Hameed plays the ball so late. Ball is virtually under his eyes when he plays it.
The only positive from today so far. Fair play to him. Need plenty more yet though.
Proper test match batsman is Hameed. Right down to wearing a cable-knit jumper in Australia.
Yeah whatever score he manages to get in this innings at least he hasn't been blown away like the others
What are we feeling here lads? <100? <150?
Another one gone.
Bowling at an elite level today
Bowling at an elite level today
Yeah best we can hope for, least we aren't all out for 67 like at Headingley 2019
It's good bowling but this batting line up is under prepared and bang average.
60-5
Good intent from Jos. Just another 100 required.
Buttler doing a Pant.
What would be a good first innings score? Or at least not a bad one?
200 enough?
200 enough?
200 and the game isn't over but this looks a decent enough deck once you're in. Fancy the Aussies to go 300+
What a catch!
