Any of you cricket fans staying up to watch the Ashes 1st Test tonight?
It's on BT Sport at 11.00pm, which makes me feel I ought to watch it seeing as I've given Sky two fingers and made the switch to BT
Might just watch the first hour or so for tonight and record the extended highlights tomorrow.
Don't fancy England's chances, especially with Ben Stokes missing!

Think if Jimmy gets going early on and Root finds good form with the bat we might do em, bloody arrogant convicts
I lost interest when I saw Gary Ballance selected and no out and out quick.
4-0 to the convicts.
I’ll be watching it till I fall asleep, unless England bat first and lose early wickets
Yes, very underwhelming side England have.
Be nice to see a few feathers ruffled,
no doubting the class of Root and Anderson mind.
Im going to go with a 2-1 with a couple draws, more hopeful it is competitive than anything. A lot depends on the wickets, though England have struggled batting on dead flat ones.
England's chances have just improved dramatically. Sun and Showers forecast for 4 out of the 5 days
England win the toss and will bat.
Could be an interesting first hour.
Going to be a white wash
After a shaky start, England have settled pretty well.
Only an hour old but Vince looking impressive.
The "new style" test match BT commentating team including some lady (assume she has been on the women's cricket commentary) and Boycott... talk about in at the deep end.
With Boycs not known for fence sitting or suffering of fools, she'd better know her stuff!
Anyone still watching?
Vince need a 100 badly he's good batsman
Eng 59-1 lunch
128-2 at tea
England looking good.
How anyone can get run out at a test match is beyond me.
You should take chances, there’s no rush.
Eng 302 all out
Aus 159-4
