Big mistake going for 3 samey bowlers on a flat pitch. 

It probably doesn't help that Ali isn't fully functional either with that dodgy finger.

[StanSP]

There's one! Green gone! 

[RowlattsFox]

Yes Robbo. Shit way to get out for Green. 

[trabuch]

See?

[StanSP]

One wicket brings two... Can England nab another one in this spell?

They're always a bit unfortunate for the batsman. Playing on must be the most frustrating.

Yes, but bit of a nothing shot. Would rather get out slogging than something like that.

It was a good delivery.

[Super_horns]

Well that is one !

If only we can get Khawaja out.

[RowlattsFox]

Khawaja is in a weird position where he's played incredible but if the aussies don't win he'll probably be blamed for not playing more shots.

I get the impression that Bairstow is a bit of a bell end.

 

His banter is shit.

[trabuch]

Root has kept it nice and tight. New ball (in 8?) will be crucial.

MASSIVE!!

[foxfanazer]

That's fooking huge!

[trabuch]

Stokes is a little bit magic.

he's like Flintoff in terms of his presence 

[Lionator]

How are people calling that genius, it was a rank slower ball 🤣 bloody brilliant though. 

[RowlattsFox]

Legend. Shame he can't bowl more but makes things happen. 

 

Khawaja has probably gone too much into not get out mode. 

[Super_horns]

Can we knock the lower order out again pretty quickly?

You can't accidently bowl a slower ball, hardly genuis i agree but clever bowling. 

[kingkisnorbo]

Come on!

It wasn’t an accident, it was just a long hop which was played terribly! 

[StanSP]

England's game to lose now with that wicket.

Trying something different causes the confusion though. Might not have been the best execution but amazing how many times shit balls get the wickets
