Yeah. It's a good pitch for test cricket. Not a green top. Last meaningful partnership for England this one.

 

Starc doing his best to help England out here. Bowling complete rubbish.

buttler isn't playing positively enough. i'm all for playing the situation but not at the expense of your natural game. he's one you want to play shots, not scratching around making 9 from 38 balls.

At least the lad was self aware enough to call it and walk off without wasting a review. Watto would have snap reviewed that one.

 

Not out apparently on hawkeye. Looked out though to the naked eye.

I reckon Australia will win the test from here now.

I don't know Al. Don't over estimate Australia's ability with the bat on wickets like this. They showed in Cardiff that they can lack the discipline to bat on wickets like this at times.

 

Edit: fucking iPad keypad makes me sound drank. ;)

broad should attack. he's another who can't defend. a quickfire 30 or 40 in a low scoring game can make a massive difference

Broad is completely clueless against Johnson. He's afraid. Plain and simple.

get after him. johnson is a confidence player. his chin goes down if gets smacked to the boundry a few times.

 

i would be afraid of those bouncers mind.

I would head a few bouncers back to Johnson. You cannot show fear to a bloke who looks like some sort of Spanish ponce.

that is another quality over from lyon. a lot of turn and bounce on day two.

doesn't bode well for our second innings, given the amount of turn he's getting on day 2! need to get a lead up and over 100

Decent session for Australia. Would have liked a couple more wickets near the end there though.

Wouldn't like to chase down more than 150 tbh. Think we'll fold if we have to. Great match like. Shame Gloom's going on Saturday ;)
