"That's the Stewart Broad leave" massive swipe outside off.....

Welcome.

England are throwing wickets away needlessly, I don’t even think it’s due to Bazball necessarily (other than Mo) as I’ve seen them get out in similar manners before Baz too. If anything they haven’t played aggressively enough for some reason, the Aussies haven’t been particularly great with the ball or in the field.

I think, despite being defensive, Australia have not let them get away in the same way they have before. Been lots of rotation though. Would still be almost 450 in a day if they carried on at this rate for 90 overs.

Be interested to look at boundary percentages compared with some other innings.

Handy runs from abroad here. Need 400 plus though

 

[CartyDurham]

350 for 8. Hope someone can just stay with Root

I think if Brook had better luck, England would have made 400+ easily

He was so unlucky and you are right. Still not sure if England have a good score until the Aussies bat.

Root deserves a ton here now .

99 . No run outs

 

[CartyDurham]

And he gets it. . Rooooooooot!

hope Robinson can hang in and let root accumulate a few more

 

[CartyDurham]

Miles behind on the over rate the Aussies but they are not alone with that . And Lyon has 20 odd overs bowled

What a shot for six off lyon by root. I said lyon bowled 20, this us his 29th so a third of the 90 nearly and they are still miles behind the overs

 

[CartyDurham]

Six more off lyon for root. New ball is imminent so he’s making a few before that

393 for 8. Stokes is declaring on 393 for 8. What a brave decision that is

well game on

Declaring now. The Vibes never stop.

 

[CartyDurham]

Approx 4 overs of the day left for the Aussies to bat . I’ve never seen that in over 40 years of watching England

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

What a declaration!! No going for 400-500... Sweet and simple! Love this English test side.
