A pedant, reluctantly, enters the conversation: Jim Maxwell.

Given how quickly they've scored since the new ball was available, we can call this persistence with the old ball 'questionable tactics', can't we?

new ball tactics ain’t working..

I hate Australian lower-order batsmen.

I’ll be on ACE inhibitors by August…l

I've got day four and five tickets....

Jim Maxwell?

LOL, noted.

No nails left.

Remember that first innings declaration...

How the fuck does winviz have us ahead in the game.

Live and die by the bazball.

And the drops/missed stumping

Would have been a draw by now without the declaration, England don't do draws any more

What a match

I fear if England do lose this, it will knock the stuffing out of them

Edit: some of them

That's a small 'if'...

I doubt it, they will just go harder

If you're going to bounce them, why no short leg? Only a quick wicket does anything here.

Fucking Australians

can we bring the old ball back, ffs

Captain's innings from Cummins.

Atherton on Sky: "Time for Harry Brook"

Bluff coming? Yorker with him backing off?

They've scored 49 in the last 10 overs with two wickets remaining and the new ball available. Now that's Bazball.

How did Cummins keep out the yorker

No idea. I thought that was it.
