Yeah, it’s one of his stock scoring shots & not one you put away when out of nick, agree on the chasing, which is another reason the Aussies put us in, spin could eventually play a part in this test & they bat last, bet their young spinner was hoping to bat first

Yeah I'm sure. Hopefully we spank him to all parts when he does bowl!

There's that familiar air of inevitability at the moment where Moeen can't run so is just doing to swing and hole out very soon...and then with the 4th wicket down the score doesn't look so good again and there might be another mini-collapse before we drag ourselves up to 300!

Injured or not, that’s one horrific shot.

I think when you can't run and just want to swing that's what you get sometimes. Positively we got a nice 23 from 9 balls before it!

Looking around the changes to the Oval which are being discussed, it really highlights how poor Old Trafford is, actually no wonder they are no longer guaranteed a test match and not getting an Ashes next series. Really disappointing the ground has developed so poorly.

Nothing bazz about that - just shit.

Never looked comfortable Stokes, almost like he was spooked by the spinner & surprised by the pace of Starc, up to JB & Brook to put a decent partnership together and get us to tea 260 +

Haha, to be fair mate these are bowler friendly conditions, and we’d have a fair few Aussies in the shed if we’d bowled (for less runs) these two have their work cut out but are very capable of getting us up near 300, best to judge when both teams have had a bat, especially if conditions remain the same

Australia on top now. 208-6.

We need 300.
