    Poor choice of shot. Will Bairstow start farming the strike now?
    No. It's Broad who's farming the strike, and Bairstow who gets out ..

    289-9.

    Bairstow nicks behind. Gone for 113.

    We need to be careful here. In danger of breaking the 300 run mark. 
    Blame Andy for that wicket

    Bairstow should have done the same as Broad & just gone hard at it.

    Glorious reverse sweep for four from the Burnley Lara.

    294 all out. Aussies lead by 122.

    Broad skies Boland and caught by the keeper.

    We lasted longer than I thought we would.

    The lead is 122. I can see The Aussies getting a lead of 350 + and putting us in for 30/40 mins by close of play.

    Normality resumed. With the weather do we think Oz will come out all guns blazing and declare at 260ish?

    No way is Scott Boland a bowler who should be taking 11 wickets in 31 overs.

    Pope to keep in the Aussie 2nd innings. When was the last time he actually kept?
    Cant remember if he kept for Surrey at all this season. Jamie Smith was generally preferred to Pope when foakes was unavailable. There probably was a game or 2 when he kept. Doubt there were any in the county championship though so would have been a t20 at best.

    Am I missing something? Buttler is shit but I didn't realise he was injured?
    Apparently took a blow to the hand when keeping. 

    Could see him on the plane back after this one.

    Pope keeping for Buttler. Overton fielding for Bairstow. Excellent fielder is Overton. 

    Stokes fields which is a good sign. Hopefully he can bowl.

    Should have more slips/gully. Would have had a wicket first ball.

    Only way England are going to win is by taking wickets. Containment is a no no.

    Buttler hurt his hand keeping

    Pope will have enjoyed that!

    I've only got the radio, but the TMS team are saying that Pope looks far more like a keeper than Buttler.

    And another one!

    Good catch too, catching off the spinner is harder

    Looked pretty competent for a part time keeper

    Wood has Labuschagne caught behind for 29. First over after lunch.

    86-4. 208 the lead.

    Smith bowled by Leach for 23.

    149-4. Annoying partnership between Khawaja and Green that stretches the lead to 271 and you’d have to say already out of reach.

    Reckon we will get 15 overs of the Aussies teeing off and then putting us back in before stumps.

    Another hundred for Khawaja.

    Drinks break. 258-4. Lead of 380 and not far off a double hundred partnership. Surprised they didn’t declare as soon as Khawaja got the hundred over the line.

    Khawaja 101
    Green 67

    265-5.

    Green on 74 slog sweeps up in the air and caught by Root.

    265-6

    Carey out first ball, caught behind. Great reactions from Pope. Leach left stranded on a hat-trick until the next Test because that's the declaration. Khawaja left on 101 n/o.


    50 minutes of England batting coming up.

    30-0 at stumps. 11 overs faced without losing a wicket is a win.

    Crawley 22 (32)
    Hameed 8 (34)
