Woeful batting from England this morning,

Finely poised at 6/299. Bairstow will bosh a quick half century I reckon

Looks like Gary will miss a good part of the series

311/7 well into the tail now

7/311

All out 325

That was a bad prediction by me

Went from 279-4 to 325 all out.

So much for Bazball when they play a decent team

Didn’t get to watch any of the proceedings this morning. Were many of the wickets thrown away?

188/1 and 278/4 overnight to 325 all out is pretty pathetic. Throw in the fact that the four wickets yesterday were just thrown away - a stumping of Crawley and Duckett, Pope and Root all out going after the short ball.

In fairness that’s some wicket keeper the Aussies have, Carey

oz 1/66

Australia 130/2 at stumps. A lead of 221.

Play for the day rained off just after 5. That’s about the only positive news for England on an utterly dismal day.

England resorting to the short ball tactic now and have picked up 3 quick wickets of Khawaja, Sandpaper and Head as Australia slump from 187/2 to 197/5.

And it looks like Lyon won’t be batting.

350 enough for Australia?

You would think so based on how England failed to deal with the same bowling yesterday.

The way England are batting, 350 will be plenty.

I haven’t watched Cricket in years until the last few minutes but this Carey lad looks a classy stroke player.

The all-shires power rankings are eagerly awaited
