Bairstow is a great batsman but really is a shocking test match wicket keeper and the reality is that this has been the main difference between the 2 sides in this series

Not sure I would have bowled first.

No team has won a test at OT when winning the toss and bowling first...so no you don't do it. But this is the Ashes and we're 2-0 down in a test where we'll lose overs to the weather, so you have to bat last really so you can control things more. Patience will be key this morning. Jimmy is making things happen, Broad hasn't found his rhythm yet but there's something for the batsmen as well.
 
A combination of the wicket there batting line up and the weather means it would be stupendous effort to win this game

He's going to have to stand miles back and switch on when Wood bowls. He's going to be sending some absolute rockets down again. Wouldn't wait long to get him bowling either.

We’re 2-1 down but good post nevertheless.
