    5th Test at The Oval, London

    Harsh. Edit: just seen it on YouTube. Clearly not a prank: the batsmen were setting off a run and Labuschagne tried to kid them into going back.

    Yep. To be fair, he’s the captain who won the Ashes, allowing Paine to retain them here with a draw.

    5th Test at The Oval, London

    Just a prank; no attempt to get any kind of advantage. 5 runs would’ve been harsh and inappropriate.

    5th Test at The Oval, London

    I think the LBW from the last ball was the worst umpiring decision I’ve ever seen.

    5th Test at The Oval, London

    Can’t get my head round the fact that Smith has top scored in every single innings, except for the three when he was concussed and his replacement top scored in all of those. Cue Lyon to ruin this, and my life, with a spawny hundred here

    5th Test at The Oval, London

    This all may be right, and I share your scepticism. But if he keeps putting in spells like this then he definitely can do a job at Test level, and he seems to play well when the chips are down.

    Jeeeesh.

    @Uppercut - I'm in the same boat. The left arm thing does seem to pose a different challenge to Smith.

    Ten 50s in a row against us. Fair play to you, you weird little bastard

    5th Test at The Oval, London

    Only a tiny part of a hard spherical ball can ever hit a hard round stump... Anyway, if the angry little man hadn't stuck his pad in the way, his leg stump would have been knocked out of the ground.

    Wade looking all cross and angry, because he thinks he hit it. He didn't, but he did hit his pad with his bat.

    5th Test at The Oval, London

    Rotten review given that he's not swung a ball. Plus didn't he smash the cover off it?

    5th Test at The Oval, London

    Interesting stuff on Sky that Woakes has got the least swing out of all the bowlers in this match. Weird and worrying.

    5th Test at The Oval, London

    Archer to Wade, 3 runs, fuller on off, he drives with a punch, straight of mid on, they push for three, they get it easily but Bairstow faked the ball was being thrown to his end! Smith dives full length for no reason! Everyone is laughing

    Good one! Do please keep them coming

    5th Test at The Oval, London

    Oh, FFS. I thought that Labuschagne strangle looked and sounded out live too. I suppose the fielders don’t have the benefit of the stump mic.

    5th Test at The Oval, London

    Oh dear. No swing for Sam Curran. Long day ahead

    5th Test at The Oval, London

    Is Wade really Australia’s no.5? Bizarre. Probably irrelevant mind you, unless Smith nicks one in the next few minutes
