You really gotta give England the credit they deserve here.

A beautiful collapse. Takes me back to my childhood.

Well done, Australia!

Superb effort to roll England for 136 and set up this lead (God knows what gear they were in though). Didn't think anything like this was possible at the start of the day.

If Mitch can bowl like that 3 or 4 more times this series I'm back on his side. Can't wait to see the highlights and see Broad get sconed.

Nah no way Mel McLaughlin is a pocket rocket. She's a real beauty. Don't consider her to be particularly short.

Not sure boi. Probably more than 5.
She's short enough boi, just makes the PR cut. Would say a bit more but family forum etc.

31 more runs and your summer is golden.

But what had changed with Johnson? He's bowling the same stuff as he always bowls.

No one has doubted Johnson's ability to bowl the short ball. But what we have learned today is three things:

1. He still doesn't swing the ball
2. He still doesn't seam the ball
3. There are a few English batsmen who are sub continental against short pitch bowling (Carberry, Trott, Broad, Tremlett)

This is going to be in an interesting series for Cook. Australia know where to bowl to him, and it doesn't look like the gap between the two teams is so much that defensive captaincy will suffice. May not be so universally loved by the pom media by the end of this tour
