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.
