    It's ridiculous with all the technology at hand. The 3rd umpire was far too quick to reverse that and hardly took anytime at all to review it.

    Can umpires be demoted or taken out of their role for a while, as with football referees?

    Yep, that's the other thing. That surely needed lots of replays over and over and his decision was far, far too quick.

    That's a terrible decision. It was given not out. Totally inconclusive on the replay, so has to remain not out surely? Joe Root not at all happy!!

    Really cannot see England surviving this. One more wicket or two and it will be a complete and total collapse I think. These two need to see this out. Hopes aren't high though.

    You can see nothing other than another wicket soon. We are really being pinned back and the bowling is really hostile. Memories of Mitchell Johnson here. :(

    At the moment there are only three certainties in life. One, that we're all going to die. Two, that Trump will probably tweet about it and three, that an England batting collapse is just round the corner.

    Some really hostile bowling. Stoneman already hit on the helmet and England having to duck away from some cutthroat bouncers.

    115/3. Malan at the crease.

    And there you go. Root out. Not a great shot at all. Down the leg side and got a flick. Out for 20. Looking a bit dodgy at the moment.

    This is looking ominous. Still just the two wickets down, but another drop and the Aussies are steaming in and firing it down and the batsmen do not look at all comfortable. Wicket seems likely shortly.

    Things that annoy you

    Christmas adverts for stuff you use every day anyway. I just don't get it. Yep sure, advertise mince pies, or party food with a twist, but Flora, or Hellmann's mayonnaise? Surely if you use mayonnaise regularly you are just going to continue using mayonnaise. If you don't really use mayonnaise...

    Lucky, lucky escape. Stoneman edges one straight to slip, straightforward catch and dropped.

    Now 112/2. Need to keep this stand going. Stoneman on 52 and Root on 16.

    That crucial time again. England lose Cook cheaply, then build a stand, Vince gets in and then gets out for 25 and now Root just in and England at 91-2. This could go one of two ways. Stoneman on 48 at the moment. He HAS to go on and get a hundred or pretty darn close and Root needs a big...

    The walking dead starts again tonight

    Well nope, but then at the same time I believe that Negan would have bashed Eugene's head in a long, long time ago.

    The walking dead starts again tonight

    Yeah, I know, but just wonder if part of him is just trying to side with the winning side, whichever side that is and if the Saviours were totally dominant once again, whether he could turncoat. I don't quite believe that, but I do think there is something there with him that makes me feel he...
