From Alan in Greenock, TMS inbox: "My Mrs knows such things and she would describe the burly Lancastrian as 'Strawberry Blond'….she also describes him in many other ways not suitable for a family text service such as this one."

From Iain in Southampton, TMS inbox: "What with the golf in one browser window, and now the cricket starting, I'd be in trouble at work if I hadn't actually delegated all my duties to other people years ago."

1045: Forecast decent for today - a high of 24 degrees, mainly sunny with the odd Santa's beard cloud. Let's not mention Friday's outlook. Ooof.

Those teams in full:
England: AJ Strauss (captain), AN Cook, RS Bopara, KP Pietersen, PD

Collingwood, MJ Prior (wkt), A Flintoff, SCJ Broad, GP Swann, JM Anderson, G Onions.

Australia: RT Ponting (captain), PJ Hughes, SM Katich, MJ Clarke, MEK Hussey, MJ North, BJ Haddin (wkt), MG Johnson, PM Siddle, NM Hauritz, BW Hilfenhaus.

From Jodie (in the blonde camp) TMS inbox: "There appears to be a dispute in our office as to whether Fred is ginger or blond. Discuss."
Mousy, Jodie. Or burnished copper.

1038: If you've been with us since 1015, you wouldn't awfully mind auto-refreshing, would you? Otherwise you'll never see the TMS video scoreboard. Imagine.

From Stu in Sleaford, TMS inbox: "Maybe we should have played Adil Rashid in the role of the Little Child Runnin' Wild?"

1032: "I was going to have a bat too," admits Punter. "But there are some clouds coming in, so hopefully it'll start swinging about."

1031: Lordy - it's all happening - now for the toss. Strauss flips, Punter calls heads - and it's tails. "We'll have a bat," says the England skipper.

1030: Breaking news: Onions comes in for Monty, Harmison does not start. Repeat: Harmison is not in the starting XI.

BBC Sport's Oliver Brett on Twitter: "First MCC member clocked doing times Sudoku on 274 bus through Camden. Gorgeous day."

1022: Don't know how you felt about the 'Freddie retires' news, but I can't help recalling Curtis Mayfield's lyrics in his prescient 1972 hit 'Freddie's Dead': "Everybody's misused him/Ripped him up and abused him/ A terrible blow, but that's how it goes/ Why can't we brothers, protect one another?/ "No-one's serious, and it makes me furious/ Don't be misled - just think of Fred."

1015: There's only one way of saying hello today, and it's with the following two words: Freddie plays!
