Instead of this, the weather forecast in and allowed hosts reach 48 two - despite two strains over scalps of James Anderson, who finished with corresponding figures of five for 85.
Strauss is precipitated his second tour 100, Bale only 118.Mais it appears also pleased subsequently effort 162-ball, who followed his 32 work in the first round but two failures single-figure at the WACA.
"Everyone wants to get tracks at the beginning of the visit to settle down and get accustomed to the conditions," Strauss said.
"It looks exceptionally bien.Ce is not only the fact that it runs; this is the way it did."
"His foot movement was very good and its schedule was croustillante.Il will feel good about himself, and that is good for the team."
Strauss have resisted the temptation to accept representations of England was nearly perfect in their first two matches.
"I believe that our stick could have gone better indeed, certainly the first round in both matches."
"In Australia, set up the game by how you bat in the first round."
"We are going to look for big scores first-innings and that we have not simply all as much as we should."
They have stumbled 95 for four here on the first day, before Paul Collingwood and Ian Bell share a stand of 131.
"We didn't have it all our way, losing four wickets very early morning first - which is not ideal," said the captain.
"But from this starting point, we responded very well."
"Ian Bell and Paul Collingwood played exceptionally well in the first round."

"The situation at the present time, is that everyone flies to Hobart.Nous then we decide what is the best preparation for these launchers Brisbane sewing."
"We're going to talk individually and then decide the best attack that the Australia is a game of bowling.
"There is certainly this option to send out there to get acclimated to moisture - you can see the bottom – but we have not decided one way or another at this point."
Relatively peaceful progress England disagree with clumsy beginning Australia winter - including a defeat at home in Sri Lanka - day international series and suggestions that their selectors will appoint a squad of 16 Monday in an attempt to cover all the bases of Brisbane.
Strauss said: "we were very clear on the majority of our XI test before that we were on the plane."
"But everyone likes stability and safety, know where they stand.
"If this is not the case for the Australia, then that could be a good thing for us."
"Preparation went well until présent.Nous have a set it up to a level before the test game."
"The last thing we can do is get on our laurels and tape ourselves on the back, because we are ramping up our preparations.
