    Few things annoying me whilst watching this.

    Ball tracking is sponsored by Specsavers and the pitchmap is sponsored by someone else and the commentators don't stop mentioning it. Very annoying

    Tye is wearing bright rwd/orange socks. Sorry but that's just not cricket.

    The coverage is on free to air TV is Australia as far as I know. That's the compromise for them, no subscription costs to watch but lots of "brought to you by...".

    Desperation from Australia. Lack of spinners so bring on Finch. He's no Joe Root!

    Not as irritating as them bringing on my "mate" to commentate!

    And to illustrate the point, Finch is 31 and has just 21 wickets in all forms of the game. Root, at 27, has 114 by comparison.

    Watch Finch pick up a 5 for now.

    I see Finch got another hundred.

    How biased is Ian Healy?

    When Bairstow bats like this, it does make you wonder whether they should take the gloves off him in Test cricket too and have him batting at 4 (with Root at 3 and Malan at 5) and bring Foakes in.

    Yep - but then gave it up again.

    I was thinking exactly the same thing.

    Would make a lot of sense - a lot of people have been saying it for a while.

    116-1 off 18 with both Hales and Bairstow passing their 50s. Important to get the concentration back after drinks.

    I have a serious dislike for Jim Maxwell, but he has some good points about Bayliss (I like Rivs Clueliss nom ) , in that he should be 'managing' the team and dictating these sorts of things. Foakes should come in, and Bairstow bat in top 5 with Root at 3. Would make us look a lot stronger.

    And Hales chops on soon after.

    We'll never know but, had everyone been available, I wonder how we would have done in the Ashes with this side:

    Cook
    Stoneman
    Root
    Bairstow
    Malan
    Stokes
    Foakes
    Rashid
    Wood
    Broad
    Anderson

    I'm not sure Broad should be in that side.

    And then Bairstow goes. 129-3. Morgan vulnerable early too.
  • Addick AddictAddick Addict
    Morgan chops on too. Just see Starc off and we win.

    Nice to see Steve Smith looking a bit clueless as to what to do

    Fecking Ali.
    useless pile of dog shit.

    44 off 74 with 4 wickets in hand.
  • Chris_from_SidcupChris_from_Sidcup
    Starc's bowled out.

    Root still there.

    43 off 72 required.
  • Addickted2TheRedsAddickted2TheReds
    That was an absolute seed tbf
  • dickplumbdickplumb
    I think it is time for Moeen to be rested.
  • kinveachyaddickkinveachyaddick
    Root will see us home from here - no need to panic

    Yeah, just had to have a rant at Ali.!

    It was but he was taking evasive action in trying to get his legs out of the way rather than getting behind it.

    He has actually bowled well in the two ODIs.

    4 and a 6 from Woakes.

    28 off 60 required.
