“A decision on whether or not Stuart Broad can bowl today will be made in the next half an hour. The injury received ice treatment overnight after a blow to his right shoulder while batting. Because the injury is external he would be able to bowl straight away despite being off the field yesterday.”

“Former Australian cricketer Ashley Mallett believes the decision to call-up Ashton Agar for the first Ashes clash was the best debut Test selection since Max Walker was picked in 1972.”

“After yesterday’s grey and gloom, it’s bright and blue today at Trent Bridge with some light clouds lingering around the fringes. The conditions look far better for betting, but there’s still a chill in the air and a fair old breeze so don’t expect the ball to stop swinging just yet.”

“Smith looked to counter-attack and succeeded to a good extent against a good bowling line-up. He looked at much more ease than any of the other Australian batsman. From what we have seen on day 1, this Test already promises to have a result and it is hard to say which team is on top at the moment.”
