SCOTTY B!!!

Chris B.

Root and Stokes going along quite nicely - not really troubled. Nice bit of work by Inglis and bang-bang!

Root might get stranded by a declaration!!!

I'd be thinking about it, but probably not brave enough. Tell the bowlers to have a slog!

@Chris-B this Jacks fella was picked for his batting. Let's see it.

This is terrible bowling to Root

NTA

And it looks like a plan. Fuck me dead

NTA

Anther terrible shot - Jacks this time

Root stranded in the 90s?

Top level keeping

Well done Joe Root. Massive for England over the years, and finally gets the Ashes ton in Australia.

KiwiMurph

Excellent stuff Root. A class act.

KiwiMurph

Would Carey be the best glove man in cricket? Incredible keeping today.

Australia trying to waste time.

Root and Archer taking advantage.

England pass 300 and it won't be easy to rein in.

Ponting on 7 is an excellent listen.

323 runs in a day is good going.

Especially from 73 overs

Yup, they went on and on about how stupid it was that England didn't declare at 9 down lol, Brendan Julian and David Warner being the worst culprits.

KiwiMurph

Jofra Archer showing those up the order how it's done. Impressive fight.

Ponting on 7 is an excellent listen.

Whist I always admired him as a batsman, I didn't warm to him as a player or captain (though I guess i would have if he'd been English), however as a pundit and comms man he's shown a much more human side of himself and provides interesting and thoughtful analysis on the play. One of my favourite cricket pundits to listen to.

lots of chat about a changing of the rules re slow over rate on twitter but i don't know what they're referring to - any suggestions?

How is it possible or acceptable for a professional team to bowl 74 overs in 6.5 hours?!
