  • Stokes poleaxed by a ball from Neser that has hit him straight in the unmentionables for the second time today. Strangely, no Aussies are rushing to rub them better. 
  • Ben Stokes will be asking the umpire for a replacement pink ball.
  • The shameful aspect about this partnership is that at least 10 of our dismissals in the match have been self-inflicted due to our batsmen not putting a value on their wickets.

    How’s he taken that the little cheat ffs

    Ben Duckett can only dream of making a catch like that 
  • A great effort by Jacks. Brilliant catch.
  • A an absolutely stunning one-handed catch at slip by Smith off Neser to dismiss Jacks for 41 (92)

    224-7 for a lead of 47

    And that's my cue to go to bed. 

    Want to be up to see the F1 later. At least a Briton has a good chance of winning that. 
  • Atkinson given not out to an LBW appeal but the umpire has it spot on and Australia have now lost all their reviews.

    With the keeper up wouldn’t have had a great view of it either until late stunning catch

    Another clown review 
    impact was well outside the line 

    edit (even if it had not feathered the edge of the bat)
  • 50* (148) for Stokes

    Always find it funny when the biggest advocate for BazBall drags us back into the game with Anti-BazBall

    Woke up expecting it to be over. Was pleasantly surprised, watched 3 balls and we lost a wicket… 😭

    Weight going the other way and taken with his wrong hand too. 
  • And then Carey does what Carey does in catching Stokes standing up to Nesser

    Can’t help but feel that if you swapped the WK’s the games would be slightly closer.

    Complete gulf in quality between Smith and Carey with both bat and behind the stumps.

    Atkinson caught by Smith at midwicket off Doggett

    Stokes goes and Atkinson, rather than showing any grit at all, decides to half heatedly slog.

    Prick.

    To be fair to Smith, one discipline can feed into the other. He's not as good a gloveman as Carey but is a much better batsman than he has shown. I'm sure the time will come for someone else to take the gloves but Smith will come back better for the experience given he's still relatively young at 25.

    Atkinson getting absolute pelters on TMS

    Pretty disgraceful give away. I haven't a clue why we took him out there.

    No wickets for over three hours. You get up and manage to take three wickets in three overs!

    I would assume the next keeper we'll see will be which of the Rew Brothers decides to keep. Or possibly Jordan Cox takes the gloves and gets a chance at 3 at some stage.

    That dismissal has annoyed me more than any other. The guy has a test match century so he can bat. He just clearly couldn’t be bothered to dig in.

    Poor team with a poor mentality.
