Starc gone Wood has 5 for f all the promotion of Starc ahead of Cummins this test has been a dismal failure unfortunately as he had been doing ok with the bat

Usually not a fan of getting too funky, but Cummins and Starc could be one situation where the situation of the game dictates who come in first. We've seen games where Cummins has come in and the game has slowed down when he scores 23 off 70. The percentages today saw us need some to stay with Carey, score the dozen off thirty like Cummins did, and then have Starc come in and hit a quick 20 when the steam was out of the Poms momentum.

Que??

With the naked eye you’re supposed to pick within 2mm of the ball hitting (out) and clipping (umpires call)

That looked not out live, IMO

No the gap between 2nd and 3rd slip

I agree the LB didnt look out live

I’m thinking England chase it down

Recent weeks have seen underdogs like South Africa chase down semi smallish targets. Gut feel that trend will continue.

Is Brenton Julian watching the same game, carrying on that the balls nipping around everywhere and batting is difficult

These two batters dont look in all that much trouble

[locky801]

Get Starc off, FFS

OK, I think they have adjusted, 1st innings the gaps weren’t even (smaller gap between 2nd and 3rd) now they appear more even.

Happy to stand corrected though

[Vamos]

Does Rory bat with a ladies willow, he very petite.

[locky801]

woeful bowling

[mots02]

woeful bowling

Yep, let’s keep bowling full onto the pads!

[northerner]

Unbelievable.
We have been bounced out... there's the template.
Yet no short bowling in return.
Bounce used to be our asset. Now its our weakness. Don't bowl them and can't play them.

How about a wicket ffs

Hopefully that is what Green will do

[northerner]

These batsmen just planting the front fwd knowing there is no danger.
Our bats would have loved this predictable length.

Seriously..
When did our nations strength become our weakness?

[locky801]

looks like my bad feeling coming to fruition

[Armchair expert]

Finally a wicket
