Cricket

England's batting poses a real problem, they always seem to find a way of getting themselves out, too cheaply.

One or two England batsmen must be in the last chance saloon

England should use a third man and put the fine leg finer. If they play good shots fair enough but we've allowed these two to edge their way to a 50 partnership.

Also Archer can't be bowling 84-86 mph spells. That's not his role. We have 3 other seamers who do that. Sharp short spells we need from him.

England have failed a few times in these conditions to get the job done. Keep it on off and 4th stump line at bail height. No need to bowl half volleys looking for extravagant swing.

3rd man is a position England really need to get over and admit defeat and place one there. Keep cover open for the drive and place him at third man.

Good shots can go for 4. Not edging past slip. Warner hasn't hit a good shot all innings for 40.

Helpful conditions being wasted here by england. Sun will be out tomorrow and we will be fu**ed

Modern cricketers and shying at the stumps. 8 bonus runs to Warner.

They're well ahead and England look flat.

Good comeback this, couple more and a decent day for England.

Fighting back now. Need  them out for not a lot more than 200.

Fancy Tim Paine to bottle it and go before the session is out.

Labuschagne looks like he isn’t going anywhere, been a brilliant man to have come in for the aussies!

Huge shout for leg before here, gone for review!

Got him!!! Off goes Paine, seconds after I say he will bottle it

Tim Paine is truly F***ing awful isn't he!

Yep, should be okay to bat on during Days 2 and 3 so need to take advantage of that.

Laubashagne helped save the second test. Hes the only thing holding the Aussies together today. Impressive stuff.

But yeah Tim Payne the vice captain to Warner for this game is hopeless.

Down to 9 10 and Jack now. 1 more today would complete a decent day. Cummins a better batsman than the Aussie #7

The full bunger gets Laubashagne!

Good innings but stop moaning about the light lad!

Some bowler this Jofra!

Now the batsman need to turn up and hammer home the advantage.

Well bofled Jofra. England well back in it now but need to bat all day tomorrow to hammer home the advantage. Batting last will be difficult. We need to be 150 ahead and be chasing 150 at the end.

Well after the afternoon session went haywire that was better. Can we do the impossible and bat well and bat long.

Oh boy!

This is just good line and length bowling from the Aussies. The ball doing far less than yesterday but England making a real mess of it.

The stokes/woakes spell yesterday being put into sharper focus.

Doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.

Not watching as at work, but 3 gone already and Root for 0. Seriously?

England were in a great position after after getting Australian out for less than 200. At this rate we will be all out before I can even get home and watch it!!

Day off. Had to pop to tesco for the weekly shop and missed 3 wickets

Oh well...
