Good Lord! Just watched the highlights - I have never, ever, seen so green a wicket for a Test in Oz. Have to feel sorry for Labuschagne - foot went from under him as though he had stepped on ice

Oz all out for 303 - good recovery from 12-3 and something of which England seem incapable. Can't understand how they have plundered Wood for 115 for his 3 wickets.

here we go again! Burns run out for a duck, Crawley gone for 18, so once more Root arrives at the wicket with fewer than 30 runs on the board

180-7, still 123 behind - another bashing on the cards

So Oz already lead by 152 with 7 wickets in hand - this could end tomorrow!

So, Oz all out, leaving England needing 271 for a pretty improbable victory. Fantastic effort from Wood 6-37, which the batsmen will almost certainly waste

Where I get the score displayed on my phone is quite amusing. It jumps all over the place. When England came in their chance of winning was 5%. Now at 68 for 0 it is 60%. It really jumps all over the place!

60%? There's a song about a cockeyed optimist -!

Bizarre it was still 45% at 100 for 4 but the slide just accelerated.


Hopefully the powers that be will do something. If we had won they would have spun a positive! ☹️

I'm in a state of shock. How on Earth do they do it? from 68/0 to 124 all out! If you exclude Mr. Extras - third highest scorer with 13, Burns and Crawley scored 62 between them - more than the other nine put together. I'm not sure that I will be brave enough to watch the highlights. The bowlers must wonder why they bother

Came across a clip on YouTube of Pat Cummins, aged 17, so ten or eleven years ago, playing for New South Wales against Tasmania. Even then he was touching 90mph. Such a shame he lost several years to injury
