Bairstow has dropped two catches so far.

Total folly picking him so soon after being fit to play. He's need's to get his hand in again with Yorkshire or which ever team he ends up at when we've gone bust. Then earn his place in the England side they always have wanted cake and eat it when picking keepers.

Bairstow is quality. More experienced and a far superior batter to Foakes.

Bairstow has dropped two catches so far.

And Root has dropped one.

So; you come into bat at 85/4 ... what's your sensible (non-Bazball) approach?

Hit 100 runs off 120 balls??

Hats off to AUS for taking the game on like this. I was a lot happier at lunch ...

And Root has dropped one.

A very expensive drop. And it was easy by their standards.

Well he's been caught now. Game on, Eeyore!

240/5 (and another good knock of 23no by Mr Extras)

He caught the next one that came at him, Head, caught for 39.

I'm a bit happier now! ( Cummins+Carey both out for less than 10 )

Another mad day! Looking forward to going to Headingley tomorrow, I think we will be batting….

 

[Beebo]

Wow.
The tea break has worked wonders. After a lunch break which had the opposite effect.

 

[geocycle]

I’d quite like to see the last wicket stick around for a while so we can see the England top order tomorrow! Glad we don’t have day four tickets.

 

[Beebo]

And then our top order wobbles again.

 

[matticus]

I think this next session is crucial.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

So it turned out...

 

[matticus]

I think it's crucial they play well upto lunch.
