Australia all out for 246. England chasing 359 to win. They’ve plenty of time to accumulate them anyway. Not even at lunch on Day 3 yet.
Is getting run out during a test match like the man on 80 when you’re in a commanding position and building a lead a sure sign that these fellas just haven’t got it Geoff?
That was shocking I thought
It’s not t20
They will be bowled out by dinner ffs.

Broken finger first ball?
2/0. First over safely negotiated with all ten wickets still intact. Just the concern over a possible broken finger.
England recently won the cricket equivalent of the kilmacud / middlesex 7s . Struggling at the real game now
England 11/0 at lunch.
Burns out last ball of 6th over. 15/1. Root at 3 is a de facto opener with such shit for openers, constantly exposed to the new ball.
And Jason Roy has most likely just faced his last ball in test cricket. At least it was a beast of a delivery from Cummins and not much he could do about it. 15/2.
England won’t make 100 here.
England 101/2.
Root given out lbw. Overturned on review, huge inside edge. Umpiring is just shocking in this series.
England 135/2. Wicket is very flat now. Perfect batting conditions.
140/2. Pressure is building, runs have completely dried up for England.
Good cricket here now @GeoffreyBoycott
Hazlewood is throwing the kitchen sink at Joe root who is giving a decent defence.
Warne was on about that earlier.
Modern batsmen learn offensive cricket as they are playing 2020 they then cannot defend hence the farcical stuff early this week. .good to see some proper cricket here
That was warnes point
It’s a proper test match now. England have finally clicked out of one day mode and Root and Denly are digging in.
Headingley has seen plenty of successful big run chases over the years. Windies chased down 322 for the loss of just five wickets to win at Headingley two years ago.

Did mark butcher have one also to prevent a 2001 whitewash?
Denly bounced out. 141/3. It was coming.
Yes. Butcher scored 173 at Headingley in 2001. England chased down 315 for the loss of four wickets.

Huge moment there that wicket
At least it wasn’t Root. Root is the key for England.
151/3. Ben Stokes on 1 after facing 35 deliveries. Proper test cricket.
