Incredible

Most runs scored by a team in the first day of a test match.

Fastest century by an opener in England history (Crawley)

3rd fastest century in England history (Brook)

2 players making maiden Test centuries (Duckett and Brook)

Regardless of pitch/opposition that's an amazing achievement esp in the context of how the top order has struggled in recent months and the squad being beset by a sickness bug.

They were 174-0 at lunch, they were scoring faster than the T20 team

Are you sure Filo, saw that he had hit 6 4s in one over

It's a funny game isn't it, it was pretty much done as a contest halfway through day 2
 The bug going round has more chance of creating a result than the bowlers.

Absolutely fantastic test match. Had everything….apart from a decent wicket! Our players were immense and to win with about 8 minutes to spare kept everyone on the edge of their seats. Loved it!

This Test Match is rubbish by comparison.
Just 25 wickets in the first 2 days and nigh on 700 runs.
Stokes out!!!

Australian pace attack in England is different gravy.

Make sure if you get Ashes tickets you've got them for the first 2 days. These games aren't being drawn over 5 days without rain
