That's hopefully the key wicket, he was looking dangerous.

Still 50 behind and 8 back in the hutch.

Make that 9!

Fair play to Stokes, I thought he should have taken himself off about 15 minutes ago when he replaced Carse. He was getting a bit wayward and costly for a while.

Shame we couldn't finish them by stumps

123-9 at close of play.

Last year in the Aussie vs India test at Perth, the first 2 innings had really low scores. There is no way that 19 wickets should fall on the opening day of a test match if the pitch is up to scratch. It's a new pitch, but is a complete contrast to the WACA by all accounts.

Just be grateful Crawley didn't have to go back out to bat today!

It didn't look much like the pitch was playing a part in the wickets I saw, just some very good bowling. There were a few from bouners but they came from the sort of length you'd expect and I can't say I noticed huge amounts of movement.
