I have a gnawing feeling that this is going to be the high point of this match.  Starc will be straining at the leash to run through our batsmen before the close.

I was there today. What a privilege to see Jimmy put on a display like that.  Brilliant! 

Thought Cook was a tad unlucky to get out the way he did.  Can't think what Bell was thinking to get out the way he did, though.

The weather forecast is better tomorrow so should be an interesting day.

Lyth's dismissal was awful as well, could cost him his place!

Yep.  I didn't think it worth mentioning Lyth's dismissal because he just got out the same way he has been getting out since he got in the team.  I think you are right that he has probably run out of lives. But then again, he was the top county performer, so who do we replace him with - Taylor, Hales, Compton, Roy?

Agree ref getting Taylor in - I also think shortys are generally better equipped to play short bowling - much easier to get out of the way, and he has a bit of fight about him. I can understand the clamor for Bairstow but let's not forget he got bounced to pieces by Kemar Roach... and he's no Johnson/Starc...

In fairness to Bairstow, that was an unbelievably well targeted bouncer from a brilliant bowler in the first over he'd faced. Absolutely anyone would get out that - if he starts getting bounced out when set by less excellent short balls then there's a problem, but sometimes, you just need to applaud the bowler.

At the moment Root appears to be playing a different sport to the rest of our players.

Oh dear, the great ginger hope is gone and Stokes as well - not going so well this morning!

Disappointing morning.  Anything less than a 100 run first innings lead - which now looks unlikely - and Australia are going to feel they're right back in it.  The onus will be on England later today to run through their top order again quickly.
