    Not sure of the rules, either @Todds_right_hook or @Callumcafc. If it's The Price is Right rules then you can't be a penny over so its @Todds_right_hook but will leave to @Addick Addict to decide.

    Booooo. I demand a recount. :-)

    There must've been an uncalled no ball somewhere in those 120 ish overs..!

    Waited up till the Broad went . I seriously think that’s a very competitive score .

    Oh dear. I don't blame Bairstow for that. He should be batting higher. He is a class batsmen and wasted at 7.

    Seven is his best position. But he needs a proper number eight. That's why it's such a shame to see Mooen having to fill the gap created by Stokes' omission.

    Woakes should be a proper number 8 tbf, idiot shot today though

    In my view, Mooen is a better bat than Woakes, so should bat one higher. I think we would have the world's best 6-9 if we had all of Stokes, Bairstow, Moeen and Woakes fit.

    I think we're about 30-40 lite.

    So who is still here? 7.30pm here so - set fair to watch the whole day’s play. Thinking it must be 2.30am in Blighty..

    But he's not a better bat than Bairstow!

    Still about. I'm on Central Time so should be good for at least another session!

    Going to watch us bowl a bit, I think. Want to see the Aussies struggle before I go to sleep

    Here we go! Let's have a few quick wickets. Time for a Broady special spell.

    Anyone know a decent stream for this? Cricket isn't exactly popular here in Thailand!

    Was always ambitious thinking I'd be able to go to sleep. No chance.

    So I was a couple of wickets premature, but I left work at 5:45 and we were 4 down and I tune in now at 8:15 to see Oz batting with the lunch break in there too. I think we can call that an "England Batting Collapse".

    So Bairstow should bat no lower than 6 in Stokes' absence.

    Beautiful bowling from Moeen!

    30/2

    Khawaja gone LBW.

    Nowhere near as much control as Lyon, but he bowls a hell of a lot more wicket taking balls.

    REALLY wishing we'd picked Crane for Ball now. Ah well, more for Mo
