[CCFCSteve]

England making another average batsman look like the best in the world

He’s batted really well to be fair but I’m still fuming about the two drops that gave him the chance to play this way. Sloppy

I quite like Taylor and Ponting if they are on comms but Mel Jones is dreadful

Long way to go before we get them out though. Need to get on a roll after tea

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I would get Wood on and tell him to give it to Carey.

 

[Greggs]

Making it up as they go along and Stokes only picks his mates. Shocking. Fielding is a disgrace.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Another one through the hands.

Edit: Catches one literally next ball

 

[Greggs]

Fucking hell Bairstow.

It's embarrassing. Must be one of Stokes drinking buddies.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Hooray Root has caught one

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Quality from Wood. Blink and you’ll miss it

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

The tail for the Aussies don’t look quite so good against the pace of Wood

 

[CCFCSteve]

Pure pace ! Great to watch

 

[David O'Day]

The tail for the Aussies don’t look quite so good against the pace of Wood

if he'd been fit for the first test he would of won it

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Glad we are giving some short stuff to their tail the way they treated Anderson in the last test they deserve all they get.

 

[CCFCSteve]

That marsh drop is looking massive though. Take that away and they’re out for 150 tops. Just hope we can get this last wicket quickly and then put in a solid start with the bat

 

[Bertola]

Excellent days work from Wood. His extra pace has really rattled the whinging Aussies.

Safe to say they don't like it up them.

 

[David O'Day]

pulled that back, now just stay in for the rest of the day boys

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Can't say I'm not worried we'll end up 4 down at the end of play coming out to bat in gloomy conditions.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Great that Wood’s only had to bowl 11 overs as well. Could be very important when coming to next innings… and next test

Pinched from BBC

Mark Wood's slowest ball today was 88.2mph.

England had only bowled two deliveries quicker than that in the first two Tests.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

It's shocking how big the gap is between Carey and Bairstow

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Carey showing the value of a top wicket keeper there

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Catches win matches

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

It's shocking how big the gap is between Carey and Bairstow

And how big it is between Carey and Foakes

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Carey made that look routine

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Carey made that look routine

Have you seen the replay

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Have you seen the replay

Yea looked easy for him, good catch don't get me wrong but i think Carey would have expected himself to take it.

He was lucky that his ugly face was there to keep it off the ground

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Other way round and it's two dropped catches now for England

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Might have a snooze for the last hour

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Only been in the car for five minutes and another one down.

 

[David O'Day]

Weather looks great for batting tomorrow

 

[Macca]

Weather looks great for batting tomorrow

Absolutely. No excuse for not at least matching their total

 

[chiefdave]

Great start to the day

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

So frustrating when it's set up to be a batting day and 9/10 he goes on to make a score
