Listening to TMS. I cannot stand Jim Maxwell!

From nowhere both openers go, and now Root. The Aussies have woken up and not sure what shot Root was looking to play there. In trouble now. Can't lose any more wickets before lunch.

Feels like we might get skittled here....another chance down.

A travesty if we lose this series 1-3.

I was going to say 250 should be our initial target but that looks a long way off right now.

You assume the England selectors have a motivation poster above their desks - ‘you don’t have to be braindead to play for England, but it helps’

Looks like both teams are again taking it in turns. Other than at OT, this whole series has been consistently inconsistent. One team looking like they're getting away before losing wickets and looking in trouble, only to re-build and look comfortable again and then falling apart. Shows how well matched the two teams are.

The Aussies have been very sloppy in the field. Their 6th test, albeit with a bit of rest in the last one. Probably absolutely fucked mentally and physically now.
