127-5, run rate slowed right down, Ali and Stokes playing a watchful game.
Ali gone to the short ball :-
Moeen Aliās vulnerability against the short ball is a well-established issue and he has fallen into Pat Cumminsā trap here.
He plays a wild pull shot to the second ball of the over, top-edging it into no-manās-land in the deep for a single. When he gets back on strike, Cummins changes the field to include Steven Smith at fine leg, three-quarters of the way back to the boundary.
Moeen plays the same shot to the same ball, swiping across the line, and Smith settles underneath the top edge this time. Poor cricket from England, and Cummins is having a brilliant morning.
And Stokeās is struggling with an injury
133-6 trail by 130
It is indeed poor cricket from England, but fuck all to do with bazball just poor cricketā¦ we should have skittled the Aussies for 170 or so had we held all those catches, maybe less, but dropped catches have cost us dearly, and poor shot selection ā¦ this is almost England pre bazballā¦

āThere will be dry periodsā
Simon King
BBC weather presenter and meteorologist
Looking at the radar image there are some bright colours which means heavy downpours and some thunderstorms mixed in. We have two distinct bands of showers. The first is what we have at the moment which are moving northwards and they should get through which means a delayed start. We will then have another band later on this afternoon. There may be the odd shower in between, but there will be dry periods.
