Bit of pace and they shit themselves.
Pace at what, bodyline stuff? Doesn't look like they could have done much about trying to avoid being hit balls being bowled anywhere but at the stumps.

Buttler ducks under the ball, shame the other two didn't realise they can bend at the waist.

Pace, bouncer. Go together in my opinion.

Giving too many wickets away too cheaply. Being aggressive is good. But this game was dead if we batted sensibly according to the conditions.

Can't see it with being at work, but I do hope that we've not been doing what the Aussies did - play balls that didn't need playing. Ali and Broad seem to be digging in now. Hopefully they've restored a little discipline. How's it looking - those that are watching?

Missed the first two. Root was out to a very poor shot chasing a wide one sadly. Buttler was out LBW and it looked plumb. Didn't review it but should have as it was going over on hawkeye.

Have meetings all afternoon which is a shame as match is well poised.

Annoyingly Lyth, Bell and Root have all thrown their wickets away needlessly. If just one of them went on to make a big score game would be totally in England's favour now. Still decent lead.

Rather fancy batting last on here won't be pretty though.

Sounds like it's a continuation of yesterday's masterclass from Finn and Jimmy.

Side strain is quoted. Must be pretty painful . Hope it isn't a long-term thing, Jimmy's been immense.
