Day two, third Ashes Test 3:08am: I thought it was an unduly defensive move for England to employ a nightwatchman with half an hour to go in the day. It seems some of my English press brethren agree. 1:17am: My colleague Rohan Connolly specialises in AFL, but I reckon he's spot on here. Australia will be wanting England at least 4-down at stumps, preferably 5 (despite the batting-friendly conditions). 10:59pm: The hands-on-hips from England's wicketless opening bowler, Stuart Broad, has not gone unnoticed from former England captain Michael Vaughan. 10:52pm: A good example of how significant Clarke's score is, given how Australians have performed away from home for much of past decade. 9:58pm: Fairly liberal dose of schadenfreude coming from Australians in the Twittersphere re Jimmy Anderson's figures, which are currently 0-104. 7:21pm: Not a great start to the day. Former England captain Alec Stewart reckons it's pretty dreary in Manchester... Total votes: 3918. Poll closed 2 Aug, 2013
