Story Dutchad's IC2010 Story: Morgan Comes Into England Squad

[Chewie]

A good story so far, but a few problems with your scorecard, it doesn't match up to the previous post on what England got, the individual runs don't sum to the total runs, and a few of the S/Rs aren't correct.

The Ashes 2010: First Test Edgbaston 14th to 18th July 2010
Broad Run-Out Ends England Resistance. Aussie's Take Lead
16th July 2010
From our Chief Cricket Correspondent Rick Adams

Australia 412 all out (Ponting 134*, Katich 89) Anderson 4/126, Collingwood 2/2 England 357 all out off 93.1 overs (Collingwood* 124, Bell 70, Broad 37) Johnson 3/54


After yesterdays dramatic developments all eyes were on Edgbaston as a bright fresh morning greeted the players. Both sides had important tasks to do: England wanted to get as close to the Australian total as possible whilst Australia would want to make sure that the England tail didn't put on too many runs.
After an hours play the English innings came to an end, with Collingwood adding only 18 to his overnight score before being caught and bowled by Bollinger for 124.


He and Broad, who came out looking determined and aggressive, put on a fine display that would have had the Australians wondering whether they could keep hold of their lead at all.
Collingwood's dismissal however was the start of an English self -destruct course that saw Broad run-out trying to scramble a second run as Johnson picked up smartly at extra cover to send a thunderbolt throw that obliterated the stumps at the bowlers end.


Swann who had come in for the defeated Colligwood came began brightly
and hit three fours as he looked to get as many runs as possible.
Anderson however found life very difficult, particularly against the spin of Hauritz, and it was no surprise that despite some dogged resistance he fell without scoring, caught by Haddin off one that turned sharply in the rough.


The England innings was over. 357 all out. Though there was a sense of disappointment that England had not been able to get closer to the Australian score, they will have realized that it could have been much, much worse.
Australia start their second innings 55 runs ahead. They will hope to build an impressive platform on which to attack the very fragile English top-order.
England bowled well in the first innings, restricting Australia to 412, even though they had been 260 for 2. Some cynics would say that it would be better for England not to have to bat too long in their second innings and to keep Australia at the batting crease for as long as possible.


This match has had so many twists and turns already it is hard to predict where it will lead next!


The facts that matter:


England First Innings





Australia lead by 55 runs
