[CartyDurham]

Bairstow hasn't scored a run yet

He has now

 

[CartyDurham]

Starc tempting bairstow there. Good stuff

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

why doesn't Root open ? if he's going to come in at 20-2 then he might as well open

He won’t even bat higher than 4. Good luck if you can get him to open.

23 for 6

theyve trended downwards in their last three completed innings Australia

100 for 7

80 odd for 7

and todays 23 for 6

got to be concerning even though they are winning the series

yeah no tail ender contribution. Apart from that great run chase at Edbagston.

the lower order have all sucked for both teams that why both teams have had good positions while batting but hardly capitalised on it to get bigger leads than they should have

 

[CartyDurham]

Looking likely to be the last over now today

What's this Snoozeball Jonny? Get it whacked son or you'll be out for Foakes.

 

[Saket1209]

They forgot about the BaZBALL approach.

 

[91Jmay]

There have been a total of 63 no balls in the series so far but it's nowhere near a record for even a single match ..

The record for the most no balls bowled in a single Test match is 103
West Indies vs Pakistan at Bridgetown in 1977 ..

I guess Imran Khan & Sarfraz Nawaz vs Colin Croft , Joel Garner and Andy Roberts was not a great time for the batsmen

Great get this, cheers

Chance’d be a fine thing.

 

[RightArmMystery]

Good day's Test cricket that. Amazing what a good pitch can do.

 

[Saket1209]

Partnership of 3 from 5.3 overs. That doesn't look like Bazball.

 

[Aidan11]

England 's day.

 

[CartyDurham]

And that’s your lot

I’m off to the official blast thread now

STUMPS

68 for 3 after Australia 263 all out

Mark Wood outstanding with 5 for 34 and Mitch Marsh fantastic 118

doesnt get much better than that

 

[91Jmay]

Good even day I reckon, our tail looks order of magnitude stronger but Aus threatened most of time. Same as our innings ball randomly goes dead for brief spells.
Reckon this could end up a 1 innings shoot out

 

[Saket1209]

Yeah 13 wickets fell today. Good contest with bat and ball

Yeah but Moeen is at 7 now

Even I'd say. Both teams could have had it a lot worse

 

[loterry1994]

Yeah I don’t think England gets a lead beyond 50 here

 

[CartyDurham]

Yeah but Moeen is at 7 now

Woakes and wood are capable of scoring 30 plus
