Ashes 2021-22
-
Play has started with Australia winning the toss and batting. Bit of nip and swing early, with 4.3 overs before more rain. This will be the story of today.

It is basically coming in straight from the east, so we'll get an hour or so in and then more rain as the next band hits:
-
I'll give that day to England. They were shit in the first part of the day but found something like a good length later and built pressure.

What's the weather pictures looking like today?

This shows a clearing sky.

These rain delays are ridiculous.
Multiple breaks where the covers aren't even on for 5 minutes before they come back out.
Meanwhile you've got the vice captain playing on his home track doing whatever he can to get off the field and not to play.
You wouldn't know these guys are in the entertainment industry would you.

Smith doesn't like damp gloves

Smith gifts Broad a wicket. Never hitting anything.
He was bowling well though and the ball was doing enough to make him indecisive quite a bit that over.
Bowlers wicket rather than a batter giving his wicket away

Definitely the discipline is better from Broad compared to yesterday and earlier today.
However, Smith was well set and it was well outside off stump. Hardly a snorter. The lateral bat movement as the ball was rising was in direct contrast to a few overs before. Broad's discipline may have contributed but IMHO Smith clearly lost concentration.
