Oh ffs. Had to open my big gob didn't I.
Good days cricket i must say
Kevin Pietersen is an awful commentator. Calm down you idiot
Disappointing scoreline to wake up to. Game is all but gone when they should have had a first innings lead of 50+. The third and fourth seamers just aren't good enough.
As usual we let the oppo off the hook when in charge, the attack needs more pace and bounce, and when was the last time cook for runs when it was really needed and difficult, not doubt he'll get some when it doesn't matter to keep his average up
Jake Balls figures look abysmal. Did he bowl as badly as they suggest?
Also Cooks dismissal was disgraceful given the circumstances.

Well played Steve Smith, he looked troubled twice throughout. Credit to Stoneman and Root for surviving that. They clearly can be no worse than 3 down at lunch now to set any kind of total. 250-280 would be defendable but I have a feeling they'll now be blown away for a comfortable Aussie chase.
Been in 2 great positions here England, should have scored about 30-50 more and Australia have scored 30-40 too many from those positions.
The media are probably going to build Smith into being as unable to be dismissed now. They were starting that by close of play on the 2nd day. Huge damage to the rest of the tour in one session potentially, when they have played brilliantly for large parts.

Can't help but think plunkett would be more useful than ball
Nathan Lyon applauding from the boundary when Root got hit was embarassing
Definitely. Offers much more. Can't believe we are that short of bowlers we even had to take ball on the tour.
Someone, hopefully root, needs to get a big score tomorrow and for us to bat all day.
