Another pretty comfortable win today. Still odd why England were so woeful at Trent Bridge, when they won the three other test so comfortably. Can it simply be dismissed as a bad (5) day(s) at the office?

There are still problems in the batting that the Aussies would expose - Jennings doesn't seem good enough to open and that Malan hasn't impressed yet at 5.Another pretty comfortable win today.

I see Hameed has dug in for 4 hours to get his 50, that will do his confidence a lot of good.

Still too early for him but Davies has been far better than him all season, another great knock today.

35 runs needed off the last over to win, and they did it (with five runs to spare). And there was a dot ball in there as well; granted, two no balls as well. And a 54 year old on strike as well!

Yeah, Joe Root is some cricketer, that lad bowling round the wicket could get some joy though eventually.Anyone been watching the day-night test today?

Yh still so long in his career to go, be interesting as the night goes on when England bowl how the ball reacts. These 2 don't look like getting out both great players.

Trying to track the pink ball after its left the bat has been a bit difficult, even the cameraman has struggled a few times, good days cricket though.Anyone been watching the day-night test today?

I've noticed that, it almost looks like the ball has been superimposed on the telly, but I can get used to it.Trying to track the pink ball after its left the bat has been a bit difficult, even the cameraman has struggled a few times, good days cricket though.
