Score slowly when you are both well set you leave yourselves under even more pressure. Smith and Khawaja looking untroubled but so reluctant to score, suddenly it’s a worrying looking 72-3

Smith getting a low score shows Sussex have worked their magic again

I know he’s picked up a wicket but Moeen Ali is nowhere near a good enough bowler to be a front line spinner, which I guess we know, just seems a square peg in a round hole, we don’t have enough bowlers to carry a spinner.

Im not against the approach in general , but the chances of us taking wickets were a long shot in those conditions. It was gambling for gambling‘s sake, and I wonder if Stoke is underestimating the aussies.
If they play as they can they will punish us. we will need every run we can get.
And FWIW I said that to friends at the time.
It goes without saying that Stokes does not underestimate the best test side in the world.

Englands bowlers now getting biffed around a bit 214-4

Moeen with figures of 20 overs 95 runs and 1 wicket, not really good enough for a test level spinner.

Does anyone who have a stream of this, as my regular football one is not showing ?
A hint would be ok if it breaks NSC laws?
