Lunch on Day 1 at Cardiff, and despite two glitches early on with the loss of Cook and then Strauss later on, England will fancy their chances. KP and Bopara had a bit of fun before the end of the session and at the moment, it looks pretty even, with England hoping to push on.

Welcome to Day 2 of the 2009 nPower Ashes Series. I'm just gonna try and catch up to real time so then I can do the series in time. England batted slowly, and have lost wickets, so it looks like Australia's on top at the minute. Play will resume shortly.

England struggled again in that session, and Graeme Swann is an absolute wall out there, with his 8 runs coming off 58 deliveries. Hopefully the tail can boost England's total to around 350, before having a go at the Australian batsmen.

Wow, amazing stuff from England in that session. James Anderson and Andrew Flintoff were the pick of the bowlers there, but now Mike Hussey needs to find his form, and he has a willing partner in Johnson to try and rescue this Australian innings. England will be absolutely chuffed here at stumps on Day 2 however, and will be looking to 1-0 after this start. Join us for Day 3 soon.

1 for 64 in that session for Australia, which isn't too bad considering they started the day at 131-6. Johnson is playing an uncharacteristically slow and cautious innings, and will hope that Hauritz and he can boost up a few more Australian runs. They're firmly on the back foot though here, the Australians.

England will be stoked picking up three early wickets today, and are closing in on a 1-0 lead. Australia will have to achieve nothing short of a miracle to win from here on this pitch. 158 to win and 4 in hand looks just a bit much for the likes of North, Johnson, Hauritz, Siddle and Hilfenhaus.

END OF MATCH

And there it is! England go 1-0 in this nPower 2009 Ashes Series. Ponting and his charges look dejected as the players go and shake hands. "We got outplayed, and we need to toughen up if we're going to have a chance at retaining the Ashes this year." he says. Andrew Strauss, the winning captain and man of the match says "The boys did really well, I'm really chuffed to be 1-0 but we know there are still 4 tests left to go and we'll have to play nothing short of our best cricket to make sure we win the series."

As I said before I'll be posting the first 2 tests as fast as possible to try and catch up to real time, before slowing down. I won't post the Second Test till tomorrow as to not clog the thread with commentary :p

Yeah sorry guys, I'm pretty sure I accidentally deleted the First test scorecard, but don't worry they'll be there for the rest of the series, and for the 5 match ODI series.

England were better in that afternoon session, scoring 87 runs for no loss. They will be concerned about the slow run rate, as they should be, but I suppose they won't be too bothered if this ends up as a draw. The Australians will be desperate for late wickets in this evening session.

Note - To make it easier to differentiate between sessions I've made the morning session in blue font, the afternoon in green, the evening in red.

Ravi Bopara 97(197b 20X4)
Kevin Pietersen 1(2b)


And at stumps on Day 1 of the Second Test of this nPower Ashes Series at Lords England find themselves well on top, compiling an slow yet steady 226 runs for the loss of only two wickets. Bopara was unselfish not to go for his hundred late in the day, but I wonder how much sleep he'll get tonight thinking about it.

Australia are in the lead here at Edgbaston, and they will be pleased. Marcus North has done the damage, his 108 runs coming in just 137 balls. They'll probably just go for broke tomorrow on day 4, try and build a lead, and bowl England out for an innings lead. England need to be careful here, but all things considered, this will probably end up in a draw.
