    Jofra looks ominous. He looks like he's going to be a properly good player.

    He might be if he made them play a shot.

    His second ball was ridiculous tbf. And it's his first Test - I'm happy to give him the benefit for the time being.

    I said to myself in the previous over - he's nicked that - absolutely no appeal from anybody.
    Still, it made no difference in the end.
    When one of the Aussies miss the ball by 6 inches  Bairstow will appeal and review.

    There’s honestly not a lot between these two batting lineups. It’s literally one man.

    Ended up with 90.1 overs today  which says a lot about over rates!

    That's it for tonight. 
    I'm off now to listen to Surrey v Sussex. 
    Nice to see Kent supporters wanting Surrey to win for  once

    I see Sam Curran played for Surrey rather than being kept for 12th man duties

    We're off to Lord's tomorrow.
    I'm hoping the rain holds off until tea, but it could arrive soon after lunch.

    The pre lunch session tomorrow could define the rest of the series. Don't be late!

    I've just seen that the nickname the Aussies give Pat Cummins is "Cider". Which, for Aussie cricketers, is quite clever.

    Rain due around 2ish I reckon. With that in mind, and the fact we should be bowling 98 overs in the day anyway, is there any chance that common sense will prevail & they decide that play should continue past the allotted 1pm lunchtime until they have to come off for rain.  Of course not. So be prepared for everything to stop for 40 mins whilst everyone has lunch in good weather only to find as soon as they restart play after lunch it starts to rain & play will then be abandoned for the rest if the day.

    Bonkers.

    Watching the highlights last night I was slightly disappointed that Archer wasn't able to rough up the batsmen like Cummins was able to

    Not sure if that's down to Cummin's extra height or the poor English technique, but he was lethal yesterday afternoon

    IMO, he didnt bowl very well, he didnt make them play enough, and his bouncers were way too short.

    Put it down to inexperience, lets hope he can sort it out this morning.

    I see Sam Curran played for Surrey rather than being kept for 12th man duties 

    And scored 47 at S/R of almost 200 batting at 3.

    I wouldn't mind if we just dismissed everyone except for Smith in double quick time, to be fair.

    On the one hand that is eminently sensible.

    On the other hand the longer Smith goes unbeaten in this series the more it'll get in the heads of the England players and stoke the delusions of adequacy of the Aussies. Take Smith out of the equation and their batting is just as poor as ours.

    Bairstow probably clinging to his place with this knock, which is hopefully very bad news for Buttler
    Who you replacing Buttler with next test ?
    Sam Northeast probably
    Ever since North East went South West my opinion of Sam has changed direction

    How could the Umpire not give that out? Shame we had to appeal on that. I was concerned that we wern't going to appeal. I was shouting "Appeal. Appeal".

    4 down. Sadly not Smith though!

    To be fair, even if the batsman had middled it for six Broad would have contemplated a review and been backed up by Bairstow.

    The Aussies are now in trouble, they've lost their Head.

    can anyone enlighten me .. lbw .. if the ball is deemed to be going on to hit the stumps but pitches outside the leg stump, why is that called 'not out' ?
