    Archer is absolutely lethal. 2 wickets, and another helmet shot. Think he's answered the questions about how he can handle bowling in test matches.

    Pace against Smith was likely to be the one thing to trouble him, and about the only thing we didn't have to offer in that first test. If he is out for a period of time, then there is a fragility to the rest of the AUS batting line up to give us a bit of a chance. Having that option to turn to...

    Thanks Otis. I thought that might be the case, but I couldn't say for certain. It will be interesting to see how the Smith vs Archer situation develops. A bit of pace might give us a chance against him, obviously without Anderson we didn't have that option in the first test.

    Sounds like a great performance and a much deserved 3 points, good way to round off my Birthday! Look forward to the highlights with a couple of beers, Kastaneer's goal sounds like it was worth watching!

    Had to be said, watching it again in slow mo, that clobbered Smith right about where Phillip Hughes got fatally hit, in the neck just in front of the ear. He didn't have any of the newer protection on his lid that came in after that, which protects that area.

    I think as he's retired hurt, they can bring him back if he's up to it later to complete his innings, if the umpire agrees. I'm not too sure what would happen if he can't resume or isn't allowed to.

    Looks like Archer has figured out how to get rid of Smith. Smack one to his arm, then bounce one to his head, and he retires hurt. I guess if you can't bowl him out, might as well knock him out!

    What a goal by Aduriz! Other than that, been a pretty poor game. Barca have looked absolutely average.

    Woakes and Bairstow certainly improved our score, but our top order is a shambles. At least Warner isn't showing any form, so that's something.

    Well, same old story really isn't it? The only one we've got looks to be batting anywhere near half decent is Rory Burns, aside from that we've got nothing.

    Has to be Dion for me. Natural leader, talismanic forward, solid and versatile enough to play centre back. Always seemed so consistent for us too.

    They're at it again! Really put it all on the line for the last few laps, right to the last corner of the race! They love a good scrap these two!

    As soon as I heard that before the game, I feared the worst.

    Shocking officials. Yet again. We seem to have a habit of getting them.

    Always have, always will. Always dangerous when we go into a game with the tag "favourites".

    That would about sum up these officials. Clearly giving Bolton all the sympathy.

    Bolton to nick this with a last ditch goal probably. That'd be typical.
