Luck’s going our way a little. Still make the Aussies favourite though.

Nah. I’m as pessimistic as they come but even I make us favourites now. But I still expect some twists yet.

Cummins is handy.

Imagine where we would be if Stokes hadn’t waited 70 overs to bowl.

The new ball is going to be key here.

Or those spilled Bairstow catches. Or Broad having his front foot 2 inches back.

Given the light we played in 2 days ago the umpires need to be consistent

All I ask Mr Stokes is that you don't bowl Mr Ali.

In another world root would be a very capable full time spin bowler. Doing such a great job for us here

He's been the best spin bowler in England as well as the best batsman for a good few years now.

Cummins is looking nervy/technically deficient here.

 

[Claytop]

Still work to do.
