  1. Keeping it in the familypublished at 13:38

    Former Aussie wicket-keeper Ian Healy, who was talking on TMS over the lunchbreak, is not only the uncle of Alyssa Healy, taking the gloves for Australia in this match, he's also got a son who is currently keeping wicket for Australia under-19s against England. Strong wicket-keeping genes in that family.

    Jess Jonassen will be kicking herself after that dismissal on 99. What a sickener. But she's also a purveyor of very handy spin, so she has the chance to make amends in the field.

    Thanks Higgy. An interesting afternoon session in prospect then, as England look to make some inroads into that fairly imposing Australian first-innings score.

    And on that note, it's time for me to hand over the live text baton to James Gheerbrant. I'll see you later.

    Former Australia wicket-keeper Ian Healy on TMS: "Nathan Coulter-Nile is one who might take over from Ryan Harris eventually, and he's got the all-round capabilities as well. Joe Burns is a future Test match player - maybe he's the one they're grooming for Chris Rogers' role."

    Former Australia wicket-keeper Ian Healy on TMS: "There is gloom but not doom. We'd like a little more depth in batting, but those guys who get the job will be good enough, it's just a matter of whether they believe it. The new era has already started with the selection of the one-day squad."

    Are you Heather's brother, Lewis? Must be pretty cool to be related to an England cricketer...

    Former Australia wicket-keeper Ian Healy on TMS: "Clarke usually bats with a spring in his step and a spark in his eyes. But all series he was very heavy. He just couldn't get anything going."

    Former Australia wicket-keeper Ian Healy on TMS: "I can't believe the Ashes are over. It feels like they haven't even started. The Australians are good batsmen, but their technique has deserted them."

    The TMS team have just replayed commentary of Australian wickets falling while Ian Healy is on air with them.

    Cruel. Akin to stocking your fridge with goodies and then coming back to see it's been raided by the kids. Or something like that.

    David in Spain: Hope we're not all getting sentimental. While the game's on Aussie wicket is an Aussie wicket, men or women, on 0 or 99. Well played Jonassen, but no false regrets over a century missed.

    Former Australia wicket-keeper Ian Healy on TMS: "If you're not executing everything the same when your wife is there as when your wife is not there, then you need to make sure you change it. Otherwise it becomes a distraction, so you need to constantly monitor it."

    Ian Healy is on TMS now - discussing the issue of wifes and girlfriends on tour. 

    He had been quoted in an article in Australia suggesting that WAGs being on tour was detrimental for the squad.

    Interesting listen...

    "Remember, England failed to chase 200 in the last two ODIs, so 274 is quite a big total."

    Charlotte Edwards looks a tad relieved on the players' balcony as she heads back inside to take her pads off. She looked to be doing a little interview with a journalist there too. No rest when you're the skipper.

    "A lot of the Australian wickets were due to poor foot movement, but Heather Knight got a big stride in there."
