Or tread on his stumps going so far back to punch the ball

I wasn't too far out so far as the mode of dismissal is concerned

Jammy bastards

Giving our wickets away too easily here

Addick Addict

The question is - will Moeen create the same doubt in the minds of the Aussies or will they hit him out of the attack?

One of the luckiest wickets you’ll ever see ffs

Plenty more lefty batters for Lyon to bowl at

Rudders22

And stokes gone

kinveachyaddick

Shambles

Addick Addict

That is truly awful cricket from Stokes - firstly the shot and then the waste of a review

Callumcafc

It’s falling apart and we have to listen to Ponting and Taylor while it’s happening. Thanks Sky

How had Australia taken 5 wickets without trying to take wickets?

Yep. That's the problem with Baz ball/ultimate attack at all times. If England played aggressively but sensibly, they might have 30 runs less but would only be 3 down

aussies in control now

Rudders22

What is worrying is that is 3 outs that the umpire should have given as out. 2 overturned. 1 wasn't sure. And luckily the aussies didn't appeal on the other one. That the umpire also missed. 

golfaddick

we'll be lucky to get 250 here.

Aussies will then bat properly on a good wicket & get 400+

Could be all over before Monday.

Rusty Bairstow in now. Moeen who doesn't play red ball, in next...

The Ashes will be on their way back to Oz  by day 3 of the third test

Because the Aussies believe that we will still go for our shots rather than doing nothing other than milking singles. And that is exactly what we've done.  

Addick Addict

I wouldn't say that Bairstow was late on that one but Hazlewood was already back at this mark to bowl the next ball

kentaddick

shambles if we get anything less than 350 on such a good wicket.

So tell me again. Why did Stokes, who has faced 14 white ball deliveries in the last four months, not take the opportunity to get the feel of bat on willow against Ireland?  Root was in more or less the same position but at least 56 off 59 balls gave him some semblance of doing so.

TMS already giving excuses for stokes because that's how he plays. Yeah if you mean like a fucking amateur. 

MrOneLung

Stoke is / is going to be a liability in this series

MarcusH26

Really looks like Stokes isn't fully fit at all and is basically playing because he's skipper. 

Covered End

I wouldn't have Stokes in the team if he's not 100%, or very near 100% fit to bowl.

Karim_myBagheri

Strange to listen to cricket in a pub garden whilst they play the bond film playlist. Had the world is not enough as stokes was dismissed.

Bazball.
