'you've just dropped the moral Ashes' (?)

Not sure about all the chit chat on the way off there! Bit unusual for both teams and umps to all be engaged.

Good 1st session there cmon boys!!!

Could the game have anymore controversy???

[Lightning McQueen]

I’ve never really understood the need to throw the ball in the air after a catch, I always just clenched it as I ran to the bowler and then released it to the umpire, I guess I was scared of doing something stupid like Stokes just did.

Or series?

Everyone giving their 5 cents worth, it looked like we were being a bit sympathetic, I’m sure that won’t last once they’re back in the room.

Absolutely agree 100%. I would just head to the bowler and then under arm it to the umpire because like you I was scared I'd **** it up massively.....exactly like that.

Piers is going to lose his shit on twitter.

Hurry up lunch.

You couldn't write a script like this.

Depended how good the catch was for me.
Fielded at second most of the time so if I took a good one and it was solid in my hand, it went up.

Have to say Mark Wood has to be my favourite player of the series

[Jim05]

Raining first ball after lunch

[Armchair expert]

Rain robbing us of a win

[spell_check]

I still think Khawaja should be favourite for player of the series; there are many worthy candidates of it...it's almost like no-one should get it as of right now.

If there’s further play, would the Aussies risk losing the match in pursuit of victory?

[RB]

No way. Winning the series should be and I'm sure will be the most important thing.

Would go pretty reasonably hard though I reckon until one of these two gets out.
