We are surely in for another pulsating day of cricket. To start Mitchell Starc is bowling to Kevin Pietersen and he is kept company at the other end by captain Alastair Cook. The Aussie bowling force are pictured above and they will licking their lips if they manage to break this partnership early on.

With an extraordinary 22 wickets falling inside just two days, it would be a bold prediction to call which way this match will go. Which way will the game turn next? When will spin become a factor? Will Agar at to his impressive innings with a few England scalps? Will an England batsman get to a half century? One thing is for sure, this packed crowd will love every minute of it and provide the atmosphere which is in keeping with an Ashes test. On top of that most of them will want to see less Aussie appeals and more England runs as the day goes on.

Before the last ball was bowled, Adam Roberts spoke to a number of fans leaving the ground about their opinion on today’s game. The highlight for everyone was Agar’s innings, but with the game evenly poised, there was something for everyone today.

England see out the day for the loss of no extra wickets and the score on 80-2. Cook ends on 37 and Pietersen 35 but the headlines go to 19-year-old Ashton Agar for his sensational knock earlier on. It is amazing to think that this is only the second day and with three still to go it is hard to see where more action can come from. However, there are sure to be a few more twists and turns before the outcome of this game is decided. Join us tomorrow at 11am to follow it live!

George Herringshaw has been viewing cricket at Trent Bridge through the lens of his camera since the early 70′s. He started off as an athlete, but an achilies tendon injury prevented him from pursuing a career on the track. He turned his hand to writing sports columns for the local papers, including the Nottingham Evening Post.

When he submitted a photograph with an article, and was paid for it, he realised that sports photography would be a better way to make a living. Since then he has travelled the world covering different sports events.  Last week he was at Wimbledon, next week it is the Open Golf Championship. He still likes coming to Trent Bridge, as it is his ‘local’.

He told Brian Fairchild “I’ve seen a lot of changes here over the years, like ‘Batman’ over there being built”. He points to the match control centre, with it’s two corner spikes.

He explained how the world of sports photography has changed: “Nowdays everything is instant.  Within minutes of me taking a photo it can be published on the web or in print anywhere in the world.”

The next three days at Trent Bridge should provide him with some rich material as the game progresses.

Just five overs remain of the second day of the first Investec Ashes Match with momentum still yet to stick with a team for more than a session. Cook and Pietersen continue to keep the Aussie bowlers at bay moving the lead up to 14 and the score on 79-2.
