That's better. They're scoring freely though so need to keep taking wickets

Woakes should have played at lords. He is great in home tests, particularly there

It was ridiculous he didn't. He averages 60 with the bat and 11 with the ball at Lords. It was a no brainer to pick him there.

Going like all the other tests so far, where you feel like one team is getting in the ascendency only to lose a wicket. We need them 3 down at lunch, ideally 4 to have justified bowling first (although the justification is we can control the test better this way and it wasn't a decision based on the pitch).

Why wasn’t Wood on the boundary no advantage being 5m in - Smith should have gone first ball - hope we don’t end up regretting missing such a great chance

Fuck me I knew his stats were good there, didn’t realise they were THAT good

Probably looking for the mistimed shot

Not sure it is?

One of these before lunch would be nice.

A Smith century already feels like an inevitability.

You’re a glass three quarters empty kind of a guy?

I feel like they should have bat first. Got a decent amount of runs and put the pressure on the Aussies.
