[Manini]

Bang in trouble here now 

[UniFox21]

**** me that's shit

[StanSP]

Australia loving this now. 4 wickets in the session already for only 40 odd runs.

 

You'd hope Ali would take some encouragement from the spin Lyon was producing but even so, England would be disappointed not to capitalise on a strong showing yesterday.

[ScouseFox]

we’ve managed to batter them for like 95% of this so far but we’re gonna end up with a first innings lead of about 40 and be batting last and probably lose. decent. 

[StanSP]

Broad ton anyone ?

I reckon we’ll get 300 - 330 steady 40’s a piece from the lower order.

Well apart from the steady 40’s a piece I might not be too far away!

Shame his batting's never quite recovered to the level it was at at its peak. He used to be genuinely good to watch when in form.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Games gone, pitch so slow we couldn’t chase 170 on this.

[Manini]

I’m sure he knows it, but Broad is going to get peppered here. 

[purpleronnie]

we're ok the aussies made another 160 with their final 2.

This is why we have to learn to be ruthless, we let a winning position turn into a potential losing one...can't afford to be nice...especially against the Aussies.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Anderson needs to bowl even if his legs fall off. I doubt he’ll be fit again this summer, just go for it.

[UniFox21]

That inflatable trump is quality 

[martyn]

Predictably Moeen getting the stick. His batting has been poor for a while, but his bowling over the last year or 2 still justifies his place 

 

Bairstow on the other hand.... 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Just got home from work and seen the score that’s some collapse, felt certain we’d get 400, still might though.

Apparently Keaton Jennings has a better average in Test matches in the last 12 months than Bairstow!

Foakes and Leach in then ta.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Frustrate em, the lead is building.

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Woakes and Broad nudging and nurdling. Lead of 67. Let's hope our late order can eke out a few more. Batting last might be tricky.

5th of the way there  

[UniFox21]

Loving this crowd, properly having Smith and Warner here 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Woakes was shocking with the bat in the WC, different player in tests. 

[UniFox21]

Thick question here; how do they get the RPS from the spin bowlers?

[StanSP]

Broad goes from a short ball, predictably but he'd done well to tick over to 29 and extend the lead.

 

[UniFox21]

Anderson does not look comfortable in the slightest
