Joe Root's shockingly out of touch.

Needs to start batting half a metre out of his crease or something because he's getting pinned back

mariner4life

I love watching him bowl, what a player

NTA

Joel Wilson is also shockingly out of touch

NTA

Jeez that was a good catch from Warner

Cummins has found a nice spot to Burns. He likes to move across a lot, so this angle is good.

All I can hear in the stump mic is Aussies giving him massive props

Humilation for Captain Root. What a shocker. Out for a second-ball Duck in the Ashes at his home ground. Hard to see him regaining confidence in this series after that.

Ashes looking safe in Aussie hands.

Roy never had to play at that. Goose

Root basically gave Warner catching practice. Terrible, terrible batting.

Bloody hell you love to write them off! Lotta cricket to go yet.

That said: New Ball Hoff looks like he could take 10.

That was not an easy catch

@NTA Never dropping it though.

Australian bowlers need a morning where they demonstrate why they're keeping Starc out of the side.

Hazelwood delivering so far.

Would have been his last stint in the slips this series

Bold call there - and I tend towards that line of thinking...
But I am quietly betting on England taking this Test - which means all-square.

Smith should return in the next test, Labuschagne will probably retain his spot and one of Wade or Head will go. Plus, Warner has some runs under the belt now so you'd back him to start coming good. All-in-all advantage Aus.

BUT: the England (pace) attack is looking sharp. I wouldn't completely be writing them off just yet. They just need a few more guys to get some runs.

NTA

How the fuck did Cummins not get Denly that over?

NTA

Burns gone. Cummins started going short and the pressure told

NTA

Shit gets wickets. Ranga kiwi boi chases an utterly terrible delivery From Pattinson and goes to Warner again.

Billy Webb

England batsmen doing their level best to throw away this test.

Stokes gone now driving at a wide one: 34/4

NTA

@Billy-Webb don't think that qualifies as "driving". Terrible waft.

Not really sure you call that. "Waft" will do but f'ing terrible school boy stuff. Bloody Cantabs.
