As DOD said, that wasn’t Bazball so much as very poor shot selection. Stokes showed a willingness to be patient so it’s not Bazball order. Frustrating as everyone could see we were playing into Aussies hands. Some very good short bowling though

After that display 100%. Be interesting to see if he can just duck and weave in future. Root and Brook are two classy batsmen and have disappointed me the most…theyve now exposed the tail to a continued barrage as well !

Agreed. Doesn’t look like any Prem clubs have put in a stand out offer so if he’s squeezed an extra million out of SL and as long as we get a really good sell on, then he’s done a decent job

We’ve done so well in recent months of putting pressure on the opposition, the way we’ve played the short ball has just invited a load of pressure on ourselves

said exactly that to a mate. Just duck and leave a few, Brook tried to play almost every one and was on no position to play that last shot. Bizarre as he’s a quality young batsmen

Clicked on the post and there’s hundreds of comments from sporting fans begging him to go there. Keen….almost a bit creepy

The Aussies are a very good bowling attack but pitch looked to have died a bit. Stokes calmed things down well. Let’s hope they continue tomorrow and get to level at least

I wouldn’t trust what trust what Chansiri says at all and from what I heard it was pittance. Also, what a bizarre way to conduct negotiations, from how I read it Chansiri never made an offer to Moore ?!

Agreed. Like stokes is currently doing. They’ll be fucked if they have to keep this up with no Lyon ps I say this as someone who’s a big fan of how England are playing the game, putting Aussies/other team under pressure etc but they really should be looking at wider game situation here

He had his finger(s) under it. Will always look like it hits the grass. Thought it was out

Let’s be honest, men on the boundaries first test, bodyline this innings, Aussies are struggling to contain us but finding a way to stay in it.

roots too good to be fucking up twice like that

Just said same to mate. At least get your ton first ! Very good innings though and put us in a decent position…let’s hope we don’t throw it away

Exactly, see this part of game out. If Lyon injured massive pressure on their quicks Got a life with Root, need to take advantage and make it pay

Never nice to see a player injured but that could be massive. Bizarrely it’s his 100th consecutive test

Spoke too soon ! Decent start though

King Out

Agreed. Like the positivity but it’s still a big ‘IF’ and we could do with the openers doing their job and seeing off the new ball. Starc appeared to get some decent movement from the off which looks ominous we’re certainly in a better place than I thought we would be when they were 310 for 3...

That might be right actually. Rings a bell
