I hate Yorkshire
Surrey fans saying 280 would be par, I guess we shall see
Little bit of a fightback with that partnership, but definitely advantage Australia.
Had a feeling the rain at Old Trafford would allow the aussies to play with freedom, will be a tough ask for Enhland but you never know
Mark Wood (just got out, so what) and Chris Woakes, first names on the teamsheet at home
Wood and Woakes batted very well, again .
Perfect tailenders
I'm not sure England will be unhappy if they are bowled out for 280-300 and get an hour at Australia tonight.
England collapse, as long as I've followed cricket it has been a standard
Old Blue 2
Player Valuation: £40m
Root, Stokes and Bairstow amass the might total of 12 runs betweenthe three of them...

283 all out...
Should have scored 300+ but some difficult conditions, that pitch and good bowling from Oz
283 there or thereabouts on par I'd think

50 short of what you would like, but still just about in it. Need to bowl Australia out for not much over 300.
It's a tricky one, you'd like more runs on the board but there must be something in the pitch given the chances they've put down.
Feel though that if one of their batsmen gets in they'll get a big hundred as opposed to our eighty odd.

When the post mortem as to why we have not won the Ashes is completed the single biggest reason will be the selection of Bairstow.
One flashy innings doesn't even go close to compensating for his routine drops as wicket keeper
