40 runs in five overs is pretty good for 20/20 cricket let alone Test

From 8 runs an over in first five overs to three runs an over in the next five. 55-0, after ten overs
130-1 at lunch. Ticking along nicely.
Stuart Broad going to retire at the end of this test
If we can win and level the series that would be an appropriate end to an excellent career
Only McGrath and Warne have more Ashes wickets
Australia reached 126 without loss
We could be fucked
Australia looked extraordinarily comfortable. Broad's (deserved let's be fair) testimonial aside the rain may actually do England a favour because they look bereft of ideas.

Anderson and Broad look over the hill
Wood looks injured
Moen is injured
Bowling attack as well as sloppy fielding has been our downfall this series
Hope springs eternal, got Smith, Head and Marsh out and they’ve still got to get 110 runs. That said their tail was strong in the first innings
Stuart Broad gets the final wicket, to win us the match at the Oval and draw the series. Australia retain the Ashes and lot of frustration over what might have been, but one of the best series’ in my lifetime gets the Hollywood conclusion (of sorts)
So pleased for Broad - maybe my favourite ever England player. Fairytale ending for him and excellent that this England team goes out on a high. For me we were undercooked for the 1st 2 tests and I like the way after that that we tempered Bazball with a little judiciousness. Batting line up now looking more positive than it has done for years. Just need to keep our young bowlers fit now.
Anderson's time is done, sadly. Would have loved to see him finish on a high also.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
