Also, forgot to mention, I will do a Cup comp from the 2nd Test onwards (Same as the NZ Odi series)
Top 16 in the table after the 1st Test (in case we get more than 16 runners..11 so far)

1st will play 16th, 2nd will play 15th and so on
(If there are less than 16, the top teams will have a bye)

Pre start change - Haddin for Marsh.

Thanks.

well hopefully I am right was hopelessly wrong in 2013 by backing Australia.
but at that time saw Australia improving and having a decent team and England being overrated but in 2015 I see the opposite with England improving and Australia being overrated.

Cook wins the toss and England bat

Wood and Moeen play

Toss seemed to be a few minutes early as well

Back to work....

Good Luck

17 runners

This means for the Cup draw which starts next Test, whoever is 17th will be the one to miss out

can't remember do you get both bonus pts for reaching 50 and 100
eg..Root 1st innings (134 + 100 or 150 ? )

same with wickets 3 + 5 haul

ta

You get both bonuses

eg Root 134+50+100 (also +50 for top scoring)

eg Starc 125+50+100 +20 (maidens)

cheers..thought so but could not remember

Result

Day 1 Session 3 was the most lucrative with 153 runs

100 points for me
