You'd have thought that they'd have learnt from bowling Jacks in the powerplay in the T20 WC match against these guys. Sheer stupidity, to an astonishing degree.

I'd be fine with Livingstone getting an over in the PP but Jacks seems to be the fourth spinner in this side behind Bethell even.

Don't like how often smith is falling over the ball like that and getting LBW. Not out there, but it seems like its started happening far more often recently.

Yeah his head ends up way outside the line of the ball so often these days

Quite. I'm not completely against spinners bowling in the powerplay if they are good enough, but not guys who are really part-timers. Especially when the same experiment went horribly wrong a few months ago. And presumably Brook was playing in that game.

Potts strikes and Short is on his bike, DLS could decide this series if the rain arrives so wickets will keep England in this.

They need to bowl their wicket taking bowlers now like Rashid, Carse and Potts and not bowlers like Jacks.

I think we need another 2 or 3 don't we? The Aus batters know this and are probably just going to keep Rashid out.

England are trying their best to delay play, they need some streakers to help them, out.

It's not really the weather to be streaking though, you would need to be brave to streak.
