Trent bridge pitch day 5. Hard work chasing 137 to win. Eng need 4 wkts. Another 98 from agar would be handy! pic.twitter.com/XPTzksz8GZ

Swann has dismissed a higher % of left-handed batsmen than anybody in Test history (based on players who have at least 200 Test wickets)

Am I the only one with nerves so tightly strung you could bounce a tennis ball on them? πΎ#ashes #ReturnTheUrn
β Melinda Farrell (@melindafarrell) July 14, 2013
There we go - new ball taken now. Should swingβ¦but will go off the bat
β Jonathan Agnew (@Aggerscricket) July 14, 2013
New ball taken More aggressive fields harder ball could mean quicker runs C'mon Hadds and ash 119 runs to win #ashes

Exciting listening on the radio! Exciting times listening to what tactics Cook will use! Great learning. #ashes #cricket #aussies #candoit
β Jodie Fields (@JodieMF19) July 14, 2013
Agar has now faced more balls than any Australian batsmen in this game. Remember siddle in Delhi and starc in Mohali .
β Rodney Hogg (@RMHogg) July 14, 2013
Agar has the ability to hit the ball both sides of the wicket because he picks his hands up. Brilliant to see. Boy genius. #Ashes
β Theo Doropoulos (@TheoDrop) July 14, 2013
Pretty sure Iβll have no fingers left after the completion of day 5. Considering I have no nails itβs only fingers left to bite!
β Alyssa Healy (@ahealy77) July 14, 2013
THAT IS OUT - Anderson does it. The one slip doesn't have to move as Agar gets a genuine edge to Cook for 14. 207-7 #tense
β Dean Wilson (@CricketMirror) July 14, 2013
Damn! Agar out nicking Anderson to Cook at slip. Shouldn't have changed the lucky bat from 1st innings - ignored #cricketsuperstitions

Classic commentary Gower:Lights still on? Beefy:I wouldn't want their electricity bill Gower:They wouldn't want your wine bill #Witty #Ashes

We have a good chance of a win here if Kate has the baby and the patriotic Poms call it off to go and celebrate. #Ashes
β Theo Doropoulos (@TheoDrop) July 14, 2013
#cricket #ashes Is it too early to say "dont worry son you've just dropped the Ashes" after Cook puts Siddle down at slip on 10. Aus need 84
β Malcolm Conn (@malcolmconn) July 14, 2013
That was a fair catch!!! #ashes
β Jessica Cameron (@Jess_cameron27) July 14, 2013
This now is why a Test match is the best form of cricket. Anyone who prefers the shorter games are kidding themselves #ashes
β Clinton Young (@dasheryoung) July 14, 2013
Hadds 50!!! Taking down Finn 3 consecutive boundaries Keep it going 51 to win #KeepingItReal #ashes

Best thing about Agar is his cool enjoyment of the whole thing. He is living the dream and treasuring every moment. Tomic, take note! #ashes

Surely there is another DRS twist in the story before this is over #TheAshes
β Peter Nevill (@pmnevill) July 14, 2013
Possible review to decide the test match????? Lol would be fitting.... #Ashes

Glenn McGrath would have caught that. One handed.

The #Ashes series is the best reality TV show ever made, and it's not even the end of the first episode. #cheersfinny

A close win to England in the 1st Test. Disappointing for the Aussies to get so close, but they fought hard. Jimmy Anderson rightful M.O.M.
β Glenn McGrath (@glennmcgrath11) July 14, 2013
Well played both teams ...wonderful game ...Haddin n Pattinson superb ...Great performance from Anderson
β David 'Bumble' Lloyd (@BumbleCricket) July 14, 2013
