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.

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…
Stumps

Ignorant and arrogant from England
