I've tried to be consistent in saying that the sides are fairly similar. Even if England collapsed from here, one would be hard pushed to say the Australians have outplayed them, and that's not taking the controversial decision into account.So the gap between the two teams isn't as big as the doom and gloomers have been suggesting right?

Soon as it goes under three figures, so not far off!Probably the kiss of death, but whatever. At what point re runs needed does this partnership start getting the Aussies ever so slightly twitchy?

They are rattled. The long room incident and the crowd getting going after lunch has got to them. Also Broad hasn't shut up giving any convict within shouting distance peltersI’d say they’re getting twitchy now.
I don’t agree but apparently the onus is on both sides to agree it’s dead (former umpire) which takes it out of the umpire’s hands…I’d compare it to the batting team running a cheeky single when the fielders are passing the ball round to get it back to the baller, and the batter simply saying I never agreed to a dead ballBe nice if someone could actually point out to the pundits, maybe via twitter the fact the umpire was handing over the cap to Green, surely this creates a different argument.
All the Aussies had to do was call Bairstow back . They didn’t the rest is history.I've tried to be consistent in saying that the sides are fairly similar.

Broad is pumped up.
I agree, but there are plenty examples of such decisions in cricket, and sometimes the captain is too caught up in the moment to make the decision that is right for the game as a whole. That is why the Third Umpire's role should be expanded.All the Aussies had to do was call Bairstow back . They didn’t the rest is history.
