    @donsteppa That useless fuck will find form against us. Nothing surer!

    Unless they drop him first!

    He's made it easy for the Aussies by avoiding further catching practice and playing on for a grand total of 6. 😂

    A walking wicket.

    We'll undoubtedly play him back into form!

      And now he's out.

      Oz should be pretty comfortable with whatever England can set from here. They're not going to have to force the pace and only wickets will stop them.

        Woakes giving great value here - as is Buttler, but I already rated him highly.

          Superb from these two.

          I reckon 270 probably isn't a winning score - but 290 probably is.

                          @virgil Yeah - Buttler and Woakes were superb.

                          England favourites in my mind from the change of innings and moreso with Warner and White already back in the hutch.

                            Some fucking shit bowling at the end, but Woakes and Butler were good enough to put away the good balls as well.

                            Last ball century is pretty spesh

                              This one currently set up for a good finish. Wickets in hand and a challenge on run rate that a couple of thrash overs will settle.

                                Plunkett breaking down requiring Root to bowl eight expensive overs hasn't helped England.

                                Getting Smith caught behind probably a bit of luck that helps balance that equation. Steve marches off shaking his head, but if he didn't want to be caught behind, he shouldn't have nicked the ball. 🙂

                                England back with their noses in front...just.

                                  Can Stoinis do to England what he did to us?

                                    Nope. Needed a much better strike rate than that. Can't get enough good balls away.

                                      Screwed.

                                      Oz should have done much better in that chase given the situation they were in. Couldn't put the foot down when required.

                                        Very clever bowling by England. Gave them very few to time sweetly. Particularly good given how deep they had to bowl their spinners - especially Moeen!

                                        31 off 35 by Paine - not good enough in that situation - left Stoinis too much to do.
