Edgbaston day 3: England will hope ‘Steve Smith has a dodgy breakfast’
Reaction as England end the first innings with a lead of 90. Steve Smith steadied the Australian ship, moving the tourists up to 124 for three, a lead of 34 runs.
Jonathan Agnew and Michael Vaughan reflect on the action which saw England bat well and end the first innings with a lead of 90. Once again though Steve Smith steadied the Australian ship, moving the tourists up to 124 for three, a lead of 34 runs, which leaves things deliciously poised.
You will hear from Chris Woakes who describes the day as “Ashes cricket at its best”, plus Aussie bowler James Pattinson heaping praise on Smith the “superstar”.
We also bring you a few bonus extras, including a chat with actor, director and musician Keith Allen on blagging his way into the Oval dressing room, as well as England rugby union head coach Eddie Jones, who is a big fan of the Edgbaston atmosphere.
