⚱ :engerland: 🇦🇺 Ashes 2019, 3rd Test, Headingly

Head gone for 0, clean bowled by Broad

138-4

Wade gone for 0, Labuscagne gets his 50

139-5

Bizarre dismissal BTW, hits Wades thigh pad, bounces forward and hits his glove which sends the ball slowly backwards to hit the stumps, the bails come a tumbling…

162 that is FAR too many runs on a day of such good conditions.
No mental strength at all

Pattinson gone for 2, Archer’s 4th Wicket

173-7

Australia have lost five wickets for 37, and in strides Pat Cummins to try and stop the rot. After a pretty dire hour when Woakes and Stokes were spraying it around, England are on fire

What do we think? England will struggle to 87 all out?

If that…

Archer to Cummins, OUT , edged, gone, and five for Archer! Reviewed very quickly by Cummins. England liked the look of it, quite full but wide of off stump and he had a waft at it. Clear spike on UltraEdge, much to Cummins’ bemusement, and that’s a first international five-wicket haul for Archer!

Stokes to Labuschagne, OUT , horrible full toss, hit on the pad, gone! Terrible ball, Labuschagne didn’t pick it up at all but has sent it upstairs… strikes him on the back pad, no bat involved, and smashing into middle stump halfway up! Bizarre end to a determined innings. Real shades of Swann to Rogers in 2013, though at least this one was actually out…

M Labuschagne lbw b Stokes 74 (129b 10x4 0x6) SR: 57.36

Labuschagne’s dismissal…comedy gold. :lou_lol:

179 all out. Gutless wank.

Lyon gone for 1, Archer has 6 wickets

LBW, no reviews, that was missing down leg for mine…but what do I know, ball tracking saying it was hitting.

179 all out

Apart from that 70 run spell before tea England did well…

Mentally weak.

Agreed - if we had a little bit of mental strength we’d have bowled them out for 60-odd, like we did at Trent Bridge four years ago. And if we’d had a little bit of mental strength then, we’d have bowled them out for 20-odd. Fucking pathetic, bucket of wank that is son.

And that Jofra fellas is a one day bowler. Thinking he will ever be anything else is #sportingjingoism. The whole world is laughing at this spineless shite.

Whilst you can’t fault his bowling his fielding leaves a little to be desired, Woakes had numerous goes at him because of his lassez faire approach to fielding.

Can’t blame him really though, he must be aching from all that bowling…

And Hampshire pick up last 5 Middlesex wickets for 1 run. Happy days.
