    If ever there was a time for Pope to be calm and not skittish it’s this

    That's the sort of jaffa you will receive as an opener, from quality opening bowlers.

    The sort of delivery England didn't bowl enough with the new ball.

    Pope decides to take the game to Australia and chips a ball to midwicket in Lyon's first over for 3 (10). Brain dead.

    41-2

    That's a spinner.  Jacks take note. Or should that be England selector's take note.

    On that note, I’ll see you in the morning when Australia are 150/1 and lead by 400 😂

    Note for the ECB - this is what happens when you don't promote spin bowling. You end up with Jacks v Lyon.

    We don't have a spinner of Lyon's calibre. Not even close. We haven't had one in over a decade.

    If either of these 2 get out before lunch then I doubt we will last until tea.

    Just as Duckett was being bowled I was typing that they lost their first 2 wickets at 31 and then their next 2 at 94........and so we were ahead of the game.

    Doesn't feel like it now

    He’s still not anywhere near the level of Lyon, but surely Rehan Ahmed was worth a place in the squad. Great red ball season with bat & ball

    We need an early lunch because we are all over the place at the moment.

    He was meant to be the spare spinner I think but then got injured with the Lions

    Australia are clearly better than us, but the mental block when playing in Oz is crazy. We completely fold under the pressure

    Just blow this absolute shit show up. 

    Scott Fucking Boland looked more solid on this road than our top order.

    Feel for all the fans out there - this performance is an insult to the money they’ve spent.
