Bairstow didn't move on from Lords, can't keep wicket and can't bat when he keeps wicket.

Root, Stokes and now Bairstow all giving their wickets away to average deliveries. Rubbish!

We've gone from 1/8 to Evens in no time.

Another dreadful shot...ffs....it wouldn't have hit another set of stumps it was so wide. Bairstow unable to leave it alone - surely he realised he was the last recognised bastman ?

So; six down*, and 80 runs still needed. How's the nerves?

*Granted, one of the five isn't a specialist batsman, though Ali does know one end of a bat from the other. He's not a total mug, though he's not a number 3 either.

Must give up the gloves now surely?!

Bairstow has been player of the Series for Australia

That’s because players used to actually leave balls alone. Atherton used to leave more than he hit.

Boycott wouldn't even consider hitting a ball that wasn't hitting the stumps until he'd been in for about 3 hours

I was nervous before the innings started, lol
