[markysimmo]

416 all out

 

[Grays_1890]

Getting about them much more. Going to be a tough day but we live in hope

 

[markysimmo]

Brilliant start from Crawley & Duckett

88/0 off 17 overs

 

[markysimmo]

Shame that for Crawley he looked in good touch

 

[markysimmo]

Duckett noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo out for 98

 

[Grays_1890]

Bazball, players on boundaries and short stuff and thenlads still going for it. Insane

It’s nonsense batting. We have recovered to a good position and throw wickets away. Aussies will win this series.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Aus just fired in loads of short balls. Instead of hold your nerve and see out the day, England took the bait.

I guess Aus are in the lead so the onus is on England to play and not let the game fizzle out into a draw. But there are 3 days left!

 

[markysimmo]

It’s stupid fudging cricket, in total command 30 mins ago, 2 brick shots and we’re under pressure agai.

There’s a difference between being positive and reckless. We don’t seem to understand that.

Yeh we have gone from a year of measured aggression to now go for silly things that seem to me Ego driven

Exactly that. Also against a decent bowling attack. Sometimes you just need to see off a period of a test match. Silly

 

[Spoonman]

Absolute idiocy. The Aussies know that all our batters will give their wicket away sooner or later. Consolidation doesn't seem to be a word that England understand.

Brook is playing in a T10 game

 

[djp82]

It’s a crime to get a classy batsmen like Root chasing the bowling. He just needs to get back to knocking it about the field. Doing what he does best. 1s and 2s working the ball about.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Good to see Stokes stabalise, duck some short stuff and take back some control. Shame we had to lose 3 wickets before they 'got it'.

 

[markysimmo]

2 overs left today, sensible please England

 

[markysimmo]

278/4 off 60 odd overs, amazing stuff

 

[djp82]

It’s certainly been entertaining.
