Finally a decent catch. Stick Brook or Crawley in as WK, they’re far better catchers and probably more agile too.

Need another one quickly now to stand a chance.

Bairstow is an excellent outfielder though.

Foakes is the obvious solution but the series will probably be decided before he gets a chance.

Good heavens, Labuschagne has had an attack of the Crawleys.
Complete gift.

3 more wickets needed tonight I reckon, might not be much play tomorrow.

I wasn’t being 100% serious but given Bairstows performance with the gloves I’d probably rather have Stevie Wonder there at the moment.

Gift of a wicket but surely Bairstow cannot continue as wicket keeper

Oh……he’s a wicket keeper?

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Anyone know the extent of Robinson’s injury?

I’d be a bit more optimistic if he could bowl again in this test match.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Will never not enjoy Steve Smith fucking up.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Huge wicket.

Labushagne and Smith have been dogshit so far in this series

They are braindead now. Play too much T20. Stupid dismissal.

We now know Ali’s purpose.

Be so unbelievably shit that it wears off onto the batsmen.

There's a chance now for England, couple more big wickets tonight and this is on.

Proof that anyone can play stupid shots when you have the top two batsman in the world throwing their wickets.

Smith got a 100 at Lords.
He's not been great apart from that

Root is a better player than Labuschagne. I don’t care what the statistics say.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Moeen's clearly confused them all into thinking he's a worldbeater.

We need at least two more, they're a hundred ahead as it is. Their last five wickets could (repeat for the hard of hearing; could, not will) add 150-200 runs. If we're chasing anything above 250, I wouldn't fancy us to do it.

Yeah, forgot about that. Their batting as a whole looks wafer thin though

Ali offers absolutely zero threat. Rather have Root bowling spin

Never in doubt with Ali. World-class spinner.
