I’ll never understand why batsmen waft their bats like Root did…either play a shot or don’t
That one was a good ball, left him a little and the line meant it had to be played. The same amount of inswing would have it hitting off stump.
It was exactly the type of ball he let go all day yesterday. There was no need for him to play at it.
Another in a series of bad decisions by the captain.
Is it all finished yet? Are they back home already?

Stumps Australia 221-2
Labuschagne 95*
Smith 18*
Warner 95
Harris 3
Buttler has dropped a dolly of a chance from Labuschagne in the last couple of overs.
Pedant alert. Its bad of course, but I am pretty sure one of the batsman is not 295 not out 
Sorry, I hang my head in shame

Here’s the dropped catch
That is an absolute dolly!
And doesn’t he just know it…
As KP said to Shane Warne “You just dropped the Ashes”.

Partnership of 58 from not many balls

Stokes to Neser, OUT
A massive yahoo through the line, this has gone high and mighty… Broad back-pedals at long-off, and swallows it well with a tumble. Relief for England! But that was a superb debut knock from the old-stager. Nicely warmed up for his main event…
Some good shots and some streaky ones in that score…
How many times is Starc going to thick edge it over the keeper for four?
That’s about his 10th by my count.
