So we've given them a 110 head start.

170 all out then.

Don't you just LOVE the way this game ebbs and flows? What a joy!

Take a bow Ben Stokes... 8-2-20-3

The last 10 minutes has turned this innings upside down.

Am I the only one a little bit disappointed?

I want a bit of a contest here. I don't want a test match over in 2 days. I want them to fight tooth and nail, maybe even make us bat again. Even in our 5-0 whitewash defeat, I don't remember us being this bad, we were bad but we stayed in games. This is bollocks from Australia.

In amongst all the glory, how irritating is this constant no ball reviewing, shall we just take it out of the umpires hands and automate it somehow, DRS adds to the drama, these reviews just stop you from actually celebrating a wicket....

 

[Pantani]

Number 1 test batsman in the world?

 

[Titanic]

113 run opening stand... then 4 wickets in 27 balls... this game has everything

Yes, and no. I would like some tension, 2005 was one of the best series ever because most of the games were close. However, it is also brilliant fun watching those pricks lose the plot so dramatically. I have to say I am enjoying it right now, come tomorrow when there is no cricket on when there could/would/should be, I may change my mind.

It's very irritating until you remember the mare that Shepherd had years ago when he gave the WI 3 wickets which were all no balls.

Can Clarke produce something? The pressure is on... and probably far too much TBH.

Just watch the first two days again, plenty of entertainment. In fact ignore that, the footy season starts tonight, and there'll be some support games tomorrow to watch.

Considering the whitewashes England have suffered in the not too distant past, I'll take a couple more hammering wins before wanting more of a contest thank you!
