    Crawley and Bethell made one mistake and paid for it. Smith is like a cat with 9 lives in comparison.

    We need 425+ as a minimum. It’s so flat

    What a fucking idiot? What was the point of that, just before a break. 3 days left and we are starting to get into a reasonable position. If you are 400 up and the bowlers are tired, and it is a late in the day, jesus. Sums up the series.

    He’s had 2 lives before that too. Unforgivable cricket

    He better not drop any catches and we lose this. Goodnight all. I have taken my sleeping tablet. I expect us to be all out for less than 350 now.

    Labuschagne bowling 136km/h was not on my Ashes bingo card

    It’s a competitive field but it’s definitely the worst shot of the series

    Ludicrous dismissal, after being given so many lives.

    The sort of shot decision that raises real questions whether Smith has a future in Test cricket.

    Jamie Smith is not good enough with the gloves or the bat to be a test cricketer. 

    White ball he’ll do OK.

    It was the sort of shot you play in the last over of a 20/20 match when you have nothing to lose. Not even a proper cricket shot - it was a manufactored swipe / ramp.

    Whole innings feels like a massive missed opportunity.

    Hopefully Potts & Tongue can stay around long enough for Root to bring up his 200

    For some reason the umpires have decided to take an early tea so England won’t get a short 10 minute burst at the opening pair before the break.

    At least 50 runs shy of what we should have got. 

    Today the wicket looks to have demons in it. Bet our bowlers will make it look like a flat track and will bowl short & wide.

    Feels about 50 below par to me

    Don't think it's right that after our 10th wicket fell the umpires called tea. 

    Should have made the Aussies gone out to bat for the 10 mins that would have been left before the scheduled tea interval.

    And

    England now have to be out in the field for almost 3 hours (assuming light holds until 6pm their time).
