Oh.
Back to bed then

130-1 at Tea.

146-2 somebody is out

Weatherald lbw b Archer 72 (Aus 146-2)

228-3 at Dinner

The expensive Carse gets Green after a short ball barrage

Then Carey spoons one first ball that Duckett shells, easiest catch on the planet.

Australia 291-4

And then what a catch from Will Jacks, Smith wafts at one which Jacks grabs one handed.

Australia 291-5

Oh oh, VAR are checking…

292-5 (56.4)

Carse to Smith, OUT

caught at deep backward square! A screamer from Jacks! Australia handing the game back! Short into the arm pit, Smith pulls awkwardly in the air, flat to fine backward square where Jacks is placed 25 metres off the rope, he dives full stretch to his right and plucks a one-hander! Amazing catch.

Steven Smith c Jacks b Carse 61 (85b 5x4 2x6) SR: 71.76

What is the point of Duckett, he just shells Inglis in the slips

Aus 329-5, trail by 5

Luckily Stokes castles him a couple of balls later.

Aus 329-6, trail by 5

Into the bowlers now…

have to have a whipping boy in the team :grinning_face:

How many edges go through the gap between 2nd and 5th Slip, just where a 3rd man should be

Aus 335-6, lead by 1 run

2 things England should do :-

  • Not drop catches, 4 catchable shots dropped now
  • Put a 3rd slip in, how many edges have gone right where 3rd slip would have been at a catching height!!

And another dropped catch, this time by Root.

Carey been dropped twice now.

Aus 321-6, lead by 27

Don’t think Australia are going to have to bat again, England’s heads have dropped and they’ll probably get skittled out for less than Australia lead by…
