    101-1 in that session. Australia bowled well, these two have batted well. 

    England can be very pleased with that.

    He scored 7 runs off the exact same shot in the previous over. Was looking in control, got too excited and gave the wicket away.

    Aggers defending / understanding Brook’s shot selection is not something I expected.

    189-5

    Stokes bowled by Lyon for 5. Unplayable

    Don’t know how we get 250 more runs from here.

    Aka thick as mince. Over a day left, absolutely no need to play such high risk shots.

    The previous over he did it was against a part-time bowler in Head, his game management is abysmal

    At the time, Head was the more dangerous bowler with 5-0-15-0 figures and Lyon was 10-0-49-0 looking easy to pick off.

    I’m not even trying to defend Brook that much - I even said myself a couple minutes before the wicket that we needed a sensible hour. He could have handled it better and he paid with his wicket.

    I just know what the reaction is going to be when people see “reverse sweep” when it’s one of his best and most productive shots.
