Big partnership now - anything less than a ton and Aussies right in it.

 

[Don Karleone]

My god

 

[Chrisja1000]

Need at least a 250 lead

 

[chris63]

Same bloody ball same result.
Hopeless batting

 

[bert's broken neck]

Same old same old. Bowland doing a Stokes.

 

[waspish]

Seems to be doing more on the pitch and they bowling a lot more wider balls because we will go for it! Aussies well back in it now

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fucks sake 4 wickets in a few mins. Need something big from Root and the skipper now. Steve Finn you idiot this is exactly why Crawleys pair does mean something. Poor from Brook as well, again. I hope Stokes plays one of his more careful innings. Looks like we’ll be relying on the bowlers again, and IF we lose this Test from where we were at lunch it becomes a very very unlikely series win

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Looks seriously hard graft trying to put together any kind of score.

 

[Don Karleone]

Might go back to bed

 

[chris63]

Can't someone just hang around for a few overs with out going for the slog.
Batting could be easier after 40 overs.

Oh dear

 

[bert's broken neck]

Can’t see England getting anywhere near 200 now. Aussies will fancy chasing anything less than 250

 

[AlthamBlue]

3 wickets since I got up, ffs.

 

[dooie68]

Another after lunch collapse! Those 40 runs lead now looking vitally important

 

[waspish]

Feel we need 250 minimum and if England thought there was only starc going to get the wickets there wrong oh look Starc straight back on and we are now in trouble! The way Aussies are bowling here we need to just try stick around

 

[Chrisja1000]

Pathetic

 

[antspider]

Bloody hell

 

[bert's broken neck]

Last chance saloon now - Stokes and Smith need to buckle down and play test cricket not this Bazball shite.

 

[chris63]

Lucky. Dropped catch.

 

[jimharri]

Is anyone really surprised? Seriously?

 

[waspish]

This pitch is mad Aussies bowling well but hitting the pitch a lot harder than yesterday! Think we have played a bit to loose! We look totally rattled! Maybe that 99 lead from 1 at lunch just made some of our players thought one of the others will get a big innings and give us a big lead! Need to lead those wide balls early in the innings really
