Interesting move - Watson on in the fifth over. Is there such thing as a political bowling change? ;) #Ashes 18/0
— Lord's Ground (@HomeOfCricket) July 18, 2013
Watson on in the 5th over. I'm pretty sure he took a stack of wickets here v Pakistan. Maybe a smart move. Maybe too clever by half

OUT! Watson gets Cook lbw! No review. Out for 12. Erasmus took an age. Huge wicket! England 1-18 #Ashes #ReturnTheUrn

Great decision by Clarke 2 put on Watson. Time 2 use conditions wisely before it flattens out. Short spells the play of the day #somuchlove

OUT! Harris has Root lbw down the slope. HANG ON. Review coming... #Ashes
— Cricket Australia (@CricketAus) July 18, 2013
Root lbw after very long examination of Hotspot…26/2
— Jonathan Agnew (@Aggerscricket) July 18, 2013
Both England openers back in the pavilion, and we already have our first DRS talking point. What joy.

Slightly better start than 2009 by the Aussies! #Ashes

Good start from the boys. Now to continue after lunch. #ReturnTheUrn

Trott moves to 42 with dual boundaries off Siddle after lunch. Pattinson to take up the attack from the Pavilion End. #Ashes #ReturnTheUrn
— Cricket Australia (@CricketAus) July 18, 2013
James Pattinson in his 10th over and already conceded eight boundaries. Yet to endorse my pre-#ashes view he'd be bowler of the series.
— Jesse Hogan (@Jesse_Hogan) July 18, 2013
Off you Trott mate!
— Corey Norris (@coreynorris9) July 18, 2013
HARRIS STRIKES AGAIN!!! Jonathan Trott out for 58 as he is caught by Khawaja in the deep... England now 4/127 #Ashes
— FOX SPORTS News (@FOXSportsNews) July 18, 2013
Trott's wicket was Harris' 50th Test scalp from 13 matches. Fantastic effort. http://t.co/C9yvI15Q1a #Ashes #ReturnTheUrn
— Cricket Australia (@CricketAus) July 18, 2013
Since making 121 at Wellington, Trott's Test scores have been 27, 37, 39, 56, 28, 76, 48, 0 and 58. In other words, lots of starts...

Are we six days into "Belly's Ashes"?

OUT!! Siddle clean bowls Bairstow for 21. Oh no! No ball! Siddle oversteps. Huge reprieve for Johnny. England 4-172 #Ashes #ReturnTheUrn
— Cricket Australia (@CricketAus) July 18, 2013
The game has gone mad. I'm off to bed. Give me a break technology is ruining our great game it's a shame.
— Darren Berry (@Chucksaca) July 18, 2013
Tea-time, and a grateful Bairstow is still there with a composed Bell. England's session thanks to that no-ball 183-4

Back-to-back hundreds for Ian Bell. His century came from 203 balls and included 14 fours. http://t.co/C9yvI15Q1a #Ashes #ReturnTheUrn
— Cricket Australia (@CricketAus) July 18, 2013
Ian Bell joins Jack Hobbs (1911/1912 & 1924/25), Wally Hammond (1928/29) & Chris Broad 1986/87 in achieving the feat.
— BBC TMS (@bbctms) July 18, 2013
Agar has some left hip pain but been able to continue bowling. He will bat & expected to be able to bowl next innings - Physio A.Kountouris
— Cricket Australia (@CricketAus) July 18, 2013
THAT IS OUT - Bell stunned by an absolute ripper from Smith. Full toss followed by perfection to take the edge and ct at slip for 109. 271-5
— Dean Wilson (@CricketMirror) July 18, 2013
Another Australian blonde leg-spinner would have been proud of that. Much needed wicket before the new ball. #Ashes #ReturnTheUrn
— Cricket Australia (@CricketAus) July 18, 2013
Shoulda brought @stevesmith49 on earlier #partnershipbreaker @slazcricket
