aus owe 23 overs in 9 minutes.

Far too many ducks from this side

Well done Joe. Delighted for him

Some of the rest of the batting has been totally abysmal again. Chasing wide deliveries constantly is not acceptable

 

[neil999]

Bolands bum nearly as big as van dijks.....

Will Australia have to bat for half an hour if we're all out soon?

Yes. 35 minutes of the day left so fairly good chance we will get a few overs at them.

Do England stone wall or try to put the Aussies in for 30mins
Can they stonewall

To be fair, if I was root I'd be swinging....
Archer could be out anytime so no point trying to defend...

Aussies under the lights for a quick wicket could be crucial

Shameless time-wasting from the Aussies here

comms 'should have declared the moment Root got his hundred, 45 minutes under lights here could have been valuable'.

They’re talking rubbish.

Think like that if you’ve got a decent score.

Just need to take whatever runs we can with root out there.

I could never get into cricket

However, I did enjoy Angela's Ashes, and the follow up book 'Tis'.

Aussies slowing it down

Keep batting while Root is in. Would be madness to declare
