    The Ashes 2017-2018 Tour. BT Sport, yes, really.

    3-1 to Australia I reckon.

    First test from Brisbane starts at 00:00 GMT on Thursday morning.

    England's team isn't inspiring me much.

    BT Sport.

    I should be able to watch a decent chunk of the evening sessions given I am up for work at 5:30.

    The Aussies aren’t in much better shape.

    Massive criticism from ex players and the media over the decisions made by the selectors. Shaun Marsh and Tim Paine especially and the likelihood of a newbie as an opener at the Gabba.

    I can see the first two tests being crucial in deciding which way the series goes, if we can by some miracle grind out a draw in Brisbane and win in Adelaide we have a chance, if not we are screwed. Perth will be a write off we always lose at the WACA, and Melbourne and Sydney usually favour whoever has momentum in the series.

    For the hell of it will predict a 2-2 draw

    Draw at the Gabba, win in Adelaide, lose in Perth and Melbourne and save the series with a win in Sydney.

    England are 142-2, Cook and Stoneman the ones to fall.

    There was a rain delay early on.

    Cummins gets Root for a measly 16.

    Australia lose a review for lbw on Dawid Malan

    Stumps after Umpires call bad light

    Sticky patch for England so they will be delighted with that decision

    Malan and Moen Ali could be good partnership

    Australia are 322-9, Smith on 135. Aussies leading by 20.

    Anderson might have an issue with his shoulder or his side, or something.

    I don't think Gilchrist is too impressed with Boycott from what I heard earlier.

    Root gets Lyon. Even for a number 11 that's embarrassing.

    Australia 328 all out. Smith not out for 141.
