Starting to not look very clever. |  |

Frustrating, as there's been a lot of good stuff from England today. Some good bowling for Pope's and Crawley's wickets but the others have been cheap. Utter freak to get Brook out though.
Going to need 400 to be competitive which looks a long way off at this point.
Asking a lot for Bairstow to pick up where he left off too. |  |

Aus are good at snagging wickets out of nowhere, coupled with our approach which can look awful when it doesn't come off.
Stokes dismissal sounded dreadful. | |

Brook was looking good until that very unlucky dismissal, need Root and Bairstow to build a big partnership now |  | | |

Brook was incredibly unlucky.
I had a touch of the Gainsborough's at lunchtime... got back in the car after nipping into Sainsburys to get a sandwich just in time to hear the third umpire give Crawley out. |  |

Warren Heath? I was pulling into the car park just at the point of Crawley dismissal!
So maybe just me being in your vicinity as you switched on was the jinx. | |

Best thing Stokes could do is go a bit anti-Bazball. He was always a bazball to begin with which means a just wants to smack everything now. He was always more clever than that. |  | | |

It wasn't the worst of those he's done but he did hang his bat out a bit.
It looks a bit better with another 70-odd runs at tea. | |

Good recovery. Bairstow loosening up.
Hollies stand in terrific voice now too. | |

Decent recovery after those 2 quick wickets.
Set up nicely now, would love to tick over 300 for 5.
Bairstow nearly caught as I typed this! Phew | | | |

Ali followed by Broad. Get the feeling some short stuff will be coming. | |

Vaughan saying 350 is 'some way below par'. Not sure I buy that, 1st innings of the first test I don't think it's a bad score.
400 would be very good I would say, would've taken that this morning. | | | |

It wouldn't even surprise me if Stokes let's us get to 400 tonight, declare and stick Aus in for 5 or 6 overs. | |

On this wicket 350 looks below par. | |

We could be bowled out for less than 400. | |

He needed to stick around for longer than that. I wasn't sure about him coming back that hasn't changed my mind.
If they get in tomorrow morning, Australia will score 500 in their first innings.
As someone else has said, getting them in tonight by hook or by crook might not be the worst idea. |  | | |

The most annoying thing is how Nathan Lyon has basically been gift wrapped 4 wickets (including one complete freak dismissal) | |

On this wicket 350 looks below par. |
The wicket isn't doing anything, very flat but I wouldn't say it's 'well below par'. Time will tell. | | | |

I'd say 400 is about par...if the tail can wag a bit and keep Root company we can get there... but from where we were this morning 350 plus feels like we got away with one a bit [Post edited 16 Jun 2023 17:23]

Bairstow and moeen just gave it away which will come back to haunt us. Brook so unlucky though, he’s that good he could have taken it away from them on his own on this wicket | | | |

Certainly want to see us stick 40 on from where we are now, ideally a few more. But yeah I agree, whatever happens from 350 it's game on. | | | |
