Bairstow has been an all round disaster this series.

We need to play 1980's slow boring Test cricket to get over the winning line. No need for any heroics.
Other than Brooks, we haven't really got anyone else left to bat who can do that. It's a One Day/Test hybrid side. I think it'll bear fruits eventually but right now they need to play a bit more Test style than One Dayer. If England limp to a win now, it'll be down to individual heroics. This time it's down to Brook. He goes and England are fooked. |

Absolutely, he didn't even seem up for it amongst the Leeds/Bradford faithful. Which is very poor in effectively your home Test |

It's still finely balanced, as long as Brooks stays in we should be ok but you just never know when your playing against the Aussies😆 |

Highest partnership of the innings here. Woakes doing great work. Think there's still a twist to come... one wicket win?

I won’t be comfortable until it’s 20 runs needed with 4 wickets in hand!
