Ashes 2025/6

NTA

Australia in the lead.

NTA

Now Carse drops Carey off Archer. Another absolute sitter.

NTA

Fourth dropped catch this session. Smith didn't move with the gloves and it was his catch.

Stokes is furious

NTA

44 run lead after throwing away utter dominance. 4 wickets in hand makes it a bit nicer.

I'll take it

NTA

Also worth noting:

Australia bowled 74 overs yesterday

Australia bowled 2.2 overs today
Change over is effectively 2 overs
England bowled 73 overs today

That's a total of 77.2 or 78 rounding up.

Jacks only bowled one over of spin so England's quicks are going at a better rate than ours, tho not by much

Australia in the driving seat to go 2-0 up. Their game to lose.

This is one of the most Australian things you’ll ever see

sparky

Australia building a healthy lead and they are twisting the knife. Ruthless, ruthless, ruthless.

In the next half hour or so they can take this game out of England's reach.

Carey gone, Australia eight down, but lead by 82.

NTA

Day 3 session 1 complete. Aussies ahead by over a hundred and Starc hearing toward 50. Not following live as I'm at a music festival (Good Things - Garbage, Weezer, Tool coming up) in 40°C heat.

Commentary on Cricinfo indicates there aren't many demons in the pitch, so it'll be interesting if England's batting line-up show a bit of resolve once they're in.

Australia dropped to 4.5RPO

Tsk, tsk...

This is ideal from Australia's point of view. Cook the fragile English bowling attach further, then Starc with a new pink ball under lights.

He’s gonna get a hundred today

I’m pretty impressed with him actually, interviewers compared him to Wasim Akram and he was having none of it. Very modest

NTA

Starc has faced 135 balls - second only to Root this match

Doggett to try and give Mitch time to shower and get a massage.
