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

That was not an easy catch

sparky

@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

Ashes looking safe in Aussie hands.

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.

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.

Bye Ranga 2.

Hoff wrecking the Pommy batting line-up like a wrecking thing

TeWaio

@NTA Why Hoff? Hazelwood = Hasselhoff?

sparky

Absolutely extraordinary Morning Session from the Aussie bowlers. On the back foot at Stumps last night, now on the cusp of taking a 2-0 lead and retaining the Urn.

NTA

@TeWaio correct.

Woakes stands to be top scorer here. Prick has a way of making runs.

And Joel Wilson fucks up again. Count to 6 you dick.

If I had a ticket for day 4 I'd be starting to worry.
If I had a ticket for day 5 I'd be considering using it to wipe my ...

Geez this is poor batting by England

NTA

Right on the tip

Billy Webb

So much for my pontificating about Starc's inclusion / exclusion.
If Pattinson, Hazelwood and Cummins are going to keep getting these sorts of results, then I'm afraid Starc isn't going to get a look in.

NTA

How the fuck did that miss?

I'm just jealous.
