Ashes - day one

Crickey I found it hard to turn off the telly last night. I thought I would just catch the first few overs to see if anyone grabbed the initiative. And of course I got hooked. Watching Harmison steam-roller in to hit players like Hayden, Langer and Ponting was mesmerising. I even think Harmison managed to initimidate Ricky Ponting - who fended a lifter to slip after receiving a nasty rap on the helmet. And the day just kept getting more action-packed as it went on.

I won't bore you with my barely conscious ramblings though, just visit Cricinfo to read their comprehensive coverage. And for those of you with insomnia and no cable TV, the Guardian is providing its usual slow, but witty, over-by-over coverage.
