Sun's out, England will be fine.

Love the English crowd: Bon Jovi when they got half way there 🤣

Need to try spin now

Warner being Broad's bunny has maybe overshadowed some other issues with the Australian top order.

Cummins (29) has a higher series average with the bat than Warner (23.5). Cummins is also higher than BusChange (24), Carey (23.6), and Green (21). Smith has also been unusually century-or-bust, averaging 31.66.

Khawaja and Head have been the reliable ones, and Marsh is already the fourth highest run scorer.

No spin. Nuts.

@Donsteppa it does feel like the bowlers are saving our arse yet again.

Labiashame and Smith threw their wickets away second innings. Runs were there to be made

[NTA]

Fuck that's streaky

I was just about to post that Cummins was overbowling himself, and then he gets the legside strangle 😂

Hit for four by Stokes straight away...

[MiketheSnow]

Could go either way at this stage

[NTA]

@MiketheSnow England's to lose

[NTA]

The tracker thing went from 73% England to 63% on root's wicket. Hmm.

[Donsteppa]

Win predictor has England at 63%. Generous to Australia while Brook and Stokes are at the crease.

[NTA]

More like 80%

[NTA]

We seem to be bowling a lot of noballs compared to recent times

[Donsteppa]

Cummins will chuck the ball to Murphy once there aren't enough runs for a spinner to play with. I'd guess Lyon would have been given a trundle before now.

[Donsteppa]

Hah, here's Murphy.

Too late. Should have come in as soon as the wicket fell
