It's a weird wicket in that you get great value for shots but it's also quite bowler-friendly especially if the ball is moving around. Par maybe 280-300?
Will come if these two bat for another 2-3 overs

Frustrating. Starc got the message about not bowling short to Wood, and I think Marsh mostly did too (bowled a heap of straight crap, though) but Cummins basically seems intent to give him stuff that he can successfully throw the kitchen sink at.
Will be interesting to see how they handle Todd Murphy. He does well and after Tea it should be Murphy/Starc opening.

It’s just about who can throw away the dominate position this series

Spot on, and it'll probably happen another 5 times in this match.
Quite sensible batting there from Wood and Woakes.

Gotta feel the bowlers they run up give it their all then you got poor tactics and bowling changes that don’t support them and dropped catches

Still a fair few frustrations coming through but it does seem the tactics has gone from like a -2/10 to at least a 5/10 this innings. Bowling has generally been quite a bit better too.
It looked like it was going to get ugly in the first part of that session so we did well to cause a mini-collapse. This feels like it could be a really frustrating partnership though. Will be interesting to see how England bowl on this.

I don't think they bowled awfully at these two tbh. Honestly they could bowl a few more short to Woakes but no surprise they're reluctant to go there again.
It doesn't look that hard to bat. There's some movement and bounce but nothing outrageous - none of the wickets have really been to magic balls or anything like that.

If conditions stay the same and assuming we can get an hour at least tonight, then there's no excuses for Jimmy. It's almost the perfect set up for him....

Standard boring predictable ashes again, can't wait for the 100 to start

True, but at the same time, plenty have beaten the bat or taken edges. To be honest, looks a cracking wicket with a little something for everyone. Whether it gets easier to bat on remains to be seen.

Yeah he could use a few runs... isn't this the ground where he got his 81?
