The series started off well for Bairstow with the bat - he scored 78 in the first innings at Edgbaston at a run a ball - but it's all gone downhill from there

Think his confidence has suffered…..

Ali and Stokes taking singles and not swinging for every rogue ball.

Can't see this taking off.

I'm a far bigger fan of Bazball than some on here but sometimes you just have to dig in for a bit. We know Stokes can do that, but I'm surprised Ali is still in. Let's hope that these two can keep chipping away

If we lose this test then there is no point in watching the rest of the series. Australia will be at ninety percent thereafter. Any win would be because they have taken their foot off the pedal

We need the Johnny Stones song to be sung again

Absolutely brainless

Daft from Ali after playing solidly.

Literally the same shot that he messed up the ball before.

 

[Mike Brock]

That was fucking ridiculous

When we lose by the look of it

Wtf. Why when you’ve just gotten away with one, would you play the exact same shot? On your very next ball?

Some of the decision making in this England team is absolutely baffling.

Fucking Red bastard as well"

I know, that’s who I referred to him as a smug rag prick
