    funny what happens when you bowl at the stumps.............and not 2 foot outside of them !

    Stokes and Archer having a set to in the middle post wicket. Archer had wanted a third man but, as Stokes rightly pointed out, if Archer hadn't fed Starc so many wide ones then he might have bowled Starc sooner.

    Reckon they'll put another 60 or 70 on.

    We'll be all out for 150-170
    Even I'm not that pessimistic..............

    but I dont think we'll get 400, and may even be trailing them on 1st innings.

    When you see Boland driving on the up through the covers it does make one conclude that if we don't get a minimum of 400 on this pitch then we need shooting.

    Archer has now bowled more balls than any bowler on either side. He will have to miss one of the final two Tests given the lack of respite between them. Quite what our attack will look like then is a bit of a concern.

    Pitch is absolutely dead. If (and this is a big If) we can survive the first 10 overs I fancy us to trouble their total.


     Equally, I wouldn’t be surprised to see us 10-2 trying to Baz it.

    Not ideal but looks a dream to bat on, no excuses not get 450+

    Archer has Lyon trapped LBW and despite a review it is our on "Umpire's call". 5-53 for Archer.

    371 all out (91.2)

    That would’ve been a travesty if given not out. I hate umpires call

    And short square boundaries. If we can control the hook/pull shot we can put up a big total here

    I'm amazed the Snicko operator didn't invent an inside edge.

    God that was shit. 

    Hoggard was on talkSPORT this morning complaining about our bowling. 

    Saying if you are rarely aiming at the stumps, you are taking away wicket taking options and are bowling for catches and run outs. And if you are bowling for run outs then you are really in trouble !!!

    He’s still necking pints, didn’t realise he needed to cheat for edges that help Australia too

    Listening to TMS on the bus home, why do the BBC give Maxwell airtime? Unbearable human being

    Duckett looking really solid here.

    Hope I'm wrong, but I think we're about to see this whole baz ball experiment unravel in the next few hours.

    England reach 7-0 after two overs. Their second-highest opening stand of the series so far.

    Does anyone know if it's hot in Adelaide?

    Surely it’s only a matter of time here before we’re 1 down. Starc is all over Duckett

    Duckett still in full Bazball Duckett mode.

    I genuinely don’t understand why he’s trying to smash Starc. It’s mental and purely ego.
  • He’s still in no?

    Don’t know if anyone has asked why there is empty seats in the sun?

    Seed to be fair to Zak, crucial not to lose wickets in clusters
