England faded badly. Aussies leading
IF Root had got that wicket one minute earlier, England would have had to face one over.
And the record books would have shown Jimmy Anderson opened the batting in an Ashes Test.
Shameβ¦
Reality tomorrow.

Hell of an emotional walk out to the middle early tomorrow
Can only assume he announced it tonight to help fire up the crowd tomorrow
Good chat with Mark Ramprakash at the Oval today. Coaches at Middx and at Harrow school.
Top guy, very polite, and some good insight.
