*Official* Third Test (Headingley, Leeds) 6–10 July

[91Jmay]

Good bit of bowling, great use of the crease from one delivery to the next. Proper, proper quick bowler this bloke.

 

[Spark]

That's another dire innings from Brook. A number 3 shouldn't be wafting his bat at that.

Just didn't look likely at all

 

[Shri]

**** off brook you 40 FC avg ****

 

[Burgey]

Brook’s average is going to be about 30 by the time this series ends.

 

[CartyDurham]

Right game starts here . Crawley runs a bonus but Root is down a 100 in this test after his calamity non catching show

 

[kevinw]

Peach.

Could easily have left it.

 

[Heboric]

Hahahahaha sun comes out literally as they walk off. Hilarious.

England will be 5 for about 60 odd at stumps

Could be

 

[loterry1994]

Brook should be batting like 5 or 6 after the new ball guys a walking wicket half the time

 

[Burgey]

Just didn't look likely at all

He’s a slogger. As soon as he’s been exposed to the moving ball this series he’s been woefully exposed.

Root is the key here, obviously. Plays late and straight. Questions to answer though

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Classic lack of sportsmanship from the Aussies, taking more than 50% of their catches.

 

[CartyDurham]

About an hour to play or so

I’ll settle for 3 down for about 80 at this stage

Man, after day 5 at Lord’s I’m not totally convinced by us either

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

Optimistic.

 

[91Jmay]

Good field placements from Aus, makes sense to limit boundaries and just let us get ourselves out. Anyone moaning about it is a boomer.

 

[Aidan11]

First chance I've had to see some cricket.

Great bowling by England especially Wood. He should have played from the start.

So much for moving Brook to 3 though.

 

[CartyDurham]

Optimistic.

That’s me. I’m trying to work out how many will be required in the run chase . Around 180 or so

this is no surprise with the first three wickets for England. It’s nearly always 40 odd for 3

 

[91Jmay]

He did it in 2018\19 before he found his feat in any format of the game.

I mean, moving could easily be why he found his feet?

 

[Qlder]

Reading that Telegraph article Brook averages 22 in County at #3 and hasn't batted there since 2018 after he asked to move down the order.

What can go wrong, predicting Eng 2-12

Was close, 2-22
