    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)

    Ha! If it is any consolation, Stokes, Buttler and Bairstow all average 40+ at this ground in tests?

    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……

    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!

    This rabble don’t deserve to win the Ashes. If we can’t beat Australia without their best player by far….

    Thinking positively – better now than chasing a low total to win in the fourth innings…..?

    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?

    There really was some bolox being written last night by ‘experts’ saying England were going to win the ashes now.

    What a shower, all that good work undone.
    Sweep on the Aussie 2nd Innings score anyone?

    I think Aussies will bat and bat and bat to rub it in. 500 odd and bowl England out for 100 second dig.

    That many?!! (England’s 100 of course)

    I turned on the radio just over an hour ago expecting to hear England passing Australias score for the loss of a couple of wickets.

    I was scratching my head wondering why England were bowling. I thought I was listening to highlights of another test.

    It must be demoralising for Englands bowlers who did well yesterday, particularly Archer.

    Which is why Australia’s game plan now should be to bat until they’ve got as many as they can – really grind the England bowlers into the dust. It doesn’t look like they’ll manage that now – but they will still have enough to win the game unless England find a magic spell from someone.

    Morgan for captain?

    His back can barely last an ODI and he’s no spring chicken so it’ll never happen.

    It would be good to have a *proper* captain rather than do it football style and just give the “best” player the title. The problem (as it was before Root was appointed) is a lack of candidates. Who are the strong leaders who can not only be a tactical mastermind on the field but also whip the ECB in to shape and handle the off field more political stuff and put a long term plan in place like Morgan appears to have done for the ODI side?

    Good thinking from Denly, nice to see the classic village cricket tactic of ‘old-manning’ get a run out in a Test. Maybe Jofra could do it, just hobble slowly enough to lull the batsmen into a second and then laser it in over the bails.

    All out for 50?
