In the same conditions England would be 7 or 8 down.
Well hello!
Struck amidships...
Tim Paine thinks about two but Marnus Labuschagne sends him back. A quick run is not what that man needs right now. Walking like John Wayne.
Yep, certainly caught him square. The camera angle from the stumps was particularly wince-inducing! This is turning into a decent evenings work after some dross earlier.

5 fer!
never mind that weird dismissal, we'd better get on and win this one - I reckon Labuschagne and Smith might bat for 3 straight days
That'll do.
6 fer!
Superb
And no fannying about in the morning!
Where’s Aggers disappeared to?
Fingers crossed we can make hay tomorrow! Having passed on tickets for days 4/5 of this test I’ll be happy to see a 3 day test with us winning with an innings to spare.
RM.
Bat all day and post 400 plus please! Amusing when TP get hit hard on his personal mid stump
"if England are willing to do the discplined stuff this morning...." ah.
Ah, indeed.
Roy just isn't up to it as an opener.
Urgh
.... awful...
Ffs
I despair.
Jeez I’m going to the pub
Just swore loudly on a park bench. Follow on target must be around 75?
They’ve avoided the follow on (according to a comment on the bbc feed)
We avoided it before we started batting.
RM.
a yes true that. had my mind on shorter formats of the game. much like the England test team BOOM BOOM!
Ha! If it is any consolation, Stokes, Buttler and Bairstow all average 40+ at this ground in tests?
RM.
Calypso collapso
That ticket I've got for Sunday looks like a poor investment now. I don't know what to wish for - get this over with by the end of tomorrow so I don't go at all, or pray that both teams remember that they aren't playing in the Big Bash......
This is embarrassing now.
All out by lunchtime?
The Stokes shot sounds like a howler. Stokes is the guy who has sown most flexibility in his batting approach over the last couple of year too - but, pressure and all that....
You can't score runs in the shed FFS!
I’ve hit the booze
Make it stop.
PLEASE!
Now is the time for Butler to score some runs...please...!
This rabble don't deserve to win the Ashes. If we can't beat Australia without their best player by far....
Thats it. I am in hiding. Mrs TJ is going to be in such a bad mood! Help me.
Thinking positively - better now than chasing a low total to win in the fourth innings.....?
That’s another pint
Towel has been thrown in.
🤯
That'll be that then. 67 all out. Hmm.
Perhaps this is what’s needed to make the selectors and coaching staff realise that test matches are not T20?
Shocking stats
they have to find a proper captain.
