I’m not sure why we bowled first on what looks a very true batting surface. I know we chased in 2019 but that was a mental game where we chased against the odds.
Both captains said they would have bowled first, but that it was a tough one.

There's also quite possibly weather. We need to win so might need to only bat once.

That’s fast. I mean seriously fast. Completely unplayable.
Not just quick, there's swing as well. Close your eyes and hope for the best!

Good morning’s cricket. Shame about the drops. I’d always be keen on getting Foakes in as Australia won’t give many chances and we need to take them.

Bar the drop that was englands best session this series by a mile.

Undoubtedly on top here and bowling attack looks more balanced.

Still think Robinson is not bowling well. But rest look dangerous.

Yeah - I am disappointed with the Bairstow drop - 91-5 would've been excellent. 91-4 just pretty good... :-)

In fairness that drop allowed us to get Smith so probably hasn’t hurt as much as it could.

Can’t help but think with the movement in the air and the little extra pace that Jimmy would have absolutely rattled through them here.

Root drops a dolly. It’s just completely unacceptable now. That’s 17 drops.

That’s ridiculous. These are professional cricketers.

Another howler there. Can talk about styles and tactics all you want. If you're having to work to get people out twice you're going to struggle.

Yeah - Rooty's probably not very familiar with the ground at Headingly! FFS.
