With the forecast, why have we not tried to score quicker this morning?
The old ball wasn’t coming on to the bat at all, it’s hard to score. Australia really are playing for a draw here. |

We've scored 125 in a session when the Aussies have bowled 24 overs (well below the scheduled 30). I think Bazball may have raised the bar on what scoring quickly means, but this is quick! 24 overs in that session is scandalous by the way, it's pure time wasting with the weather closing in. I don't get as cross about over rates as some do, but they know exactly what they're doing there. |

Bat on 20 minutes or so or until Bairstow is out, don't give their openers the lunch break to prepare to bat.

Agreed, but England typically bowl well below the scheduled rate as well. Though suspect they may find a way to speed up today!  |

Jimmy Anderson charge-pulling Pat Cummins for four is my moment of the series so far. Glorious nonsense.

Jonny Bairstow, I called for you to be dropped. I'm sorry. I was stupid.

I think it's perfectly possible to think both that he shouldn't be keeping and that he should be in the team as a batter. How on earth you make that team work whilst Stokes can't bowl, I don't know. Anyway, enjoy the upside of Bairstow. |

Haha, the utter farce of running a single off a ball that went straight through to the keeper.

Bairstow is absolutely taking the piss out of Carey here.
Magnificent.

Aussies are absolutely gone mentally here, it'll take a hell of a team talk to stop them falling in a heap this afternoon I think.

On balance, you'd have to say this game has gone rather well so far.
