Bairstow's keeping has actually got better through this Test, a noticeable improvement from looking average at the start of Day 1. It could be he was just not fit enough at the start of the series having come back from the leg break.
As for the weather, feeling a little more hopeful. Perhaps even a small chance of play this afternoon and definitely more chance for tomorrow now, looks like the worst will pass through earlier than previously expected.
Actually, I'm coming round to the fact it wasn't too bad. Bairstow was flying at the end, would we score runs any quicker in a 2nd dig than he did then? The last wicket added 66 runs in 8 overs. If you take 100 runs off our score then it probably means we'll have to bat again at some point. It also left the Aussies more demoralised, some of the wickets that fell were from tired and confused shots.Yeah I was literally screaming at the telly to declare at lunch, damn it we needed that extra 1h 20 mins instead of nearly 100 more runs
