You generally need more than one person to come out and perform to win a test match. The scorecard says it all.

Yes, pitiful reading.

Put them out of their misery.

If it is lost, then it was lost in the first innings.

And it was lost, well thrown away the chance of winning.

There’s some truth in that but you can still pull it back in the 2nd innings. All hope pretty much disappeared with that top order collapse yesterday. If those 4 had added an extra 100 runs between them (not too much to ask) then we might be home and hosed by now

Famous last words but I hope Anderson and Tongue can stick around a bit just to be a pain in the arse.

Turning point for me was the Bairstow wicket.

For me it was that session when Smith and Head put a big partnership on

Crawley and Pope didn’t help.

You've just got to love the Aussies,don't you think.

 

[Citizen Mike]

Crawley and Pope didn’t help.

The bowl to Pope was fantastic to be fair

If you're pulling it back in your second innings, then you've failed to do your work in the first, in my book. So many went chasing the short ball in that innings when they should have had more runs on the board and more yards in the Australian bowlers' legs. That aside, when you put a side in you have to be expecting to get them out for less than 416. For me, England have played two Tests now when they haven't had a fully operational bowling unit in both innings. That cannot happen at Headingley.

Don't be silly 2-0 up,they will celebrate.

I feel this Bairstow stumping right or wrong will pretty much have consequences when the bowlers come into bowl.

We’re not bowling again in this test

All I read was tongue in the arse.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Tongue one run away from matching 3 of the opening 5s scores combined…

A one word tautology
