1st Ashes Test, Lords
 
Australia 97-5 LUNCH

Well what a start to the 1st Test by the England bowlers!!

The Ashes certainly isn't won in the first morning but the Aussies will now know they are in a game :)
Keep going boys it's been a long wait for this :D

We arrive in Melbourne 25th August and will be watching the last 2 test matches in OZ so it would be great for the series to still be alive.

Come on England!!

Aye Harmi has bowled with fantastic hostility this morning.

He's a Newcastle United season ticket holder as well, what a star he is :D

Looks like our boys are a bit too fast for them. 1 or 2 bruises so I hear. :) :)

Harmi hit Langer above the elbow 2nd ball of the day which caused a massive bruise.
And then Harmi hit Ponting on the helmet with a really fast ball which cut him below eye.

'The Ashington Express' is roaring in to Lords today :)

I'm well chuffed for the lad especially after he struggled for form in South Africa last winter.

The fightback is on :(

If we can skittle them for less than 275 and make 400 ourselves we have a "real" chance...
