Bowling 2 foot outside off, counts as good, then yes they have. England though have chased everything. More about the incompetence than the bowling. Shockingly crap and a disgrace.

No, the Aussie built up the pressure by bowling well and accurately. So, when there was a wide ball the batsmen got frustrated and chased it (Stokes was different, he got a really poor ball and played an even worse shot), it's classic seam bowling.

The batters needed to have a bit of discipline and let the wide balls go, they'd have scored fewer but it would have been better to have been 30 for one or two at lunch than 54-6

Have to agree with this. In test cricket in the last few years, England must give more wickets away than any other country by needlessly chasing wide deliveries! It really is quite amazing batting!

We've probably lost a couple of wickets during lunch.
