Again most of our top order fail, FFS, get into the teens and get out.

That partnership between Buttler and Leach which put on around 80 odd looks like it could give England a good elad

Aust 5/166, up to Smith yet again

Paine fails again, Cummins goes 1st ball
Curran on a hatrick

If we only draw this series Paine must go. We have had the dominance of Smith and Cummins yet to only draw comes down to horrific captaincy, none more so than sending England in here, not to mention his less than adequate keeping, even Wade is a better keeper and im far from a fan of Wades keeping

Geez we have dropped some sitters so far this test, Harris in the gully is as bad as they come. F**king frustrating!

Normally I reckon you are a bit harsh on Paine, but Christ Why Did we bowl first?

Is Harris the worst fielder we have had for some time?
Khawaja looks like Ponting compared to this bloke

It's the question on everyone's lips and it must be answered, I really want to know the thinking behind it because it just doesn't make sense.

Especially when Langer said he was surprised by then decision as only an hour earlier they had planned to bat first.
Seems that like his reviews, Paine does it on a whim

I thought the decision to bowl was a defensive position. Playing for a draw from the get go. Throw in the selections of Siddle and Marsh (even though he performed) back that up in my mind. We deserve to loose the game.

Some bloody poor batting again

One of the most mind boggling decisions ever to field 1st.
On what they were saying it was a dry pitch from the start with perfect fine and sunny weather for the 5 days with the pitch expected to turn more and more as the game went on. You have the best off spinner in the world to take advantage of it, one of the worst batting lists ever in Australian cricket apart from Smith and Labushagne so you definitely dont want to be chasing so despite all that Paine says "we're nice guys downunder, we'll give you every chance to level the series so here you go, have a bat.

TOTAL F******G WANKER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F**K OFF FOR EVER PAINE

Paine is a junk captain and even worse batter!

His keeping has been shit this series and made to look better by a couple of Dave Warner catches.

The sooner we piss him off the quicker we improve.

Nice to see that some of you are coming around to the idea that Paine's a clown. If his brain explosion costs us a series win, which unless we get a heap of wickets in the first session tonight it will, he should be sacked immediately. Australian captains have been sacked for way less.

Keep up the campaign mate, we'll get them all on board soon

I much preferred it when we would win series,

Really bad start to the morning, need to keep the lead under 250 to have any chance

Aust to be chasing 400 minimum Maybe closer to 500

GAME OVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Series scoreline 2 - 2

And i bet Paine still comes out smiling and Gloating what such a great job they've done by retaining the Ashes.

Burns gone to a wide long hop from Lyon

Would not be surprised if a crab like Denly or Bairstow tons up with zero pressure on them.

Marsh yet to bowl, I want him on.

Smith drops Stokes.
Geez our fielding has been woeful
