Coverton and Wood injured so both Saqib Mahmood and Matt Fisher debut in the second test. Somewhere, Stuart Broad smiles at his collection of voodoo dolls.

Might be a fortunate enforced change. I like the look of Fisher and Mahmoud being in the side might demonstrate to the selectors of the benefits of picking a specialist old ball bowler. For some reason we've got into the habit of picking 4 quicks that all want the new ball, so your change bowlers aren't doing what they're good at and are a bit narky as a result.

To be fair this pitch looks a whole lot different to the first two tests. Suspect this game isn't going four days, let alone five.

Well, it's getting to four. Probably not past lunch though, unless Sachin Mahmood and Brian Leach fancy top scoring again.

If we somehow manage a lead of 100 it’s competitive

So Root has said he wants to remain captain, and clearly he’s still the best batsman we have, but questions have to be asked again where do we go from here.
Should he remain as captain, do we have another realistic option?

The fact that we don't have another realistic option is part of the problem.
There needs to be radical change, but there is nothing to change to!

Well at least the women's team are providing some cheer, particularly after looking down & out early in the group stage.
Hopefully they can turn the Aussies over in the early hours on Sunday.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

Not looking likely at the moment as the Aussies scored loads. Free on Sky's YouTube if anyone wants to watch the tail end:

All done. Nat Sciver scored 148* in a losing cause, which was a brilliant effort, but nobody else got past the mid-20s. Australia too good, as we've said quite enough times this winter.
