Only England can let the opening batsmen take 3 wickets

Livingstone showing why he's so much better than coming in with 2 overs to go like he has done for the last few years. He gets out though and it's Aussies game.

Can't believe they haven't added the extra batter.

A lesson for the supposed next generation here. Aussies do the basics and do them well.

Only tactic you really have when someone is slogging like that is just hope he skies one before he gets too many. Eventually he will and he did. Head did is job and then some.

Who'd be a bowler

Curran can be amazing for every team until he turns up for England That said, incredible hitting from Head.

This Afghan v New Zealand test is turning into a bit of a farce 3 days washed out, even if its not raining the ground they are using appears to be incapable of coping.

If we are being realistic we need to be looking at 4 points as minimum. Need to beat one Everton or Bournemouth at home at least. Potential for 7, maybe even 9 if we play well.

Genuinely think this is the first international break in a long time where I haven't been bothered. Shows where I am with wanting to watch Leicester at the minute

A lot of the criticism of Kane is over the top. He is a brilliant striker with a brilliant goal scoring record. However this is typical Harry Kane

Every year I try with the NFL and struggle but watched a bit of the red zone last night and it definitely made it more interesting as its jumps from action to action and misses out the boring bits.

These days he definitely plays like he's bitter because he's not very good any more.

Always makes me laugh when the home nations and Ireland feel like they have a chance because of their 'passion' and we turn up and roll them over Easy to say Southgate wouldn't have done this or that but it was only in tournaments when he went ultra defensive. However good to see TAA starting, he would've pulled out under Southgate.

Ollie Pope scoring runs when the pressure is off? Who'd have thought it

Not seen images or any footage so it could be darker than I imagine but people have spent a lot of money to watch cricket and they can't because it's too 'dark' I get that its fast bowling etc, and seeing the ball is pretty important but its not ****ing night time.

We must be the worst 'cheats' in history. All we did was give more money to people who didn't deserve it and got shit. Brilliant..

Time to start working on how we can avoid a points deduction in the championship next season.

Don't know if to be annoyed at the club or proud that we've been clever enough to worm our way out of it.

Probably me being bitter but it will essentially be a mass karaoke with everyone's phone out anyway.

Its been going on for years in other areas, perhaps without you generally noticing but as with everything, it goes too far once and everyone jumps on it and it will get changed. Same goes for hotels in big cities when events are on, holidays during the school holidays etc

They'd have to encourage general sale first

Only the early rounds I know but have tickets been on sale for this tournament? I don't think I've seen a single person who isn't linked to a player in the crowd. Lots of players on the tour will love it though. Good money, probably top hospitality and hotels/facilities and they don't have to play in front of anyone.

To be fair I kind of get this. Clubs have had all summer to try and sign him. With Jakub out, we'd of had to find a keeper or have a youngster as 3rd choice. You bid on deadline day, expe t to pay more. Interesting that Iversen was on the bench yesterday now its confirmed he's staying. Unless ward picked up a knock I don't know about.

The Everton crowd don't help. Constant anxiety, can only imagine how nervous they made the players after the first Bournemouth goal went in.
