No idea. I had it on Main Event. By the time I realised the football was starting and changed channel, he was in and out.

The same happened to me! Moeen got out. Ad break. Then I was having to escape from SKY Kloppaganda and Ollie Robinson was batting. Thought he'd been promoted until they said Ishant was on a hat-trick.

It's only test cricket. Every ball doesn't count.

I don't think England win the Ashes with Jack Leach as a front-line spinner and Dawid Malan seen as some kind of saviour.

Agree with Bevab, think England might have a decent chance at taking the Ashes down under. Dawid Malan played pretty well last time down in Aus, and as long as England fix the big problems they had during the 2017/18 Ashes series they'll still have a chance. They lacked bowlers that bowl fast and a spinner controlling the rate of scoring. It looks like England have given up and Leach and resorted to Root as the frontline spinner, already a part of the battle lost. Maybe they might still have to go with Leach given they have virtually no genuine frontline spinner. Archer is a loss yes, but the Aussie pitches and conditions will suit Wood and Stone quite well as well, they'd be able to attack better on those pitches than at home. For the batting side of things, all it takes for some of the others to play a couple of supporting knocks alongside Root with the red hot form he's in, like how Bairstow played today. Stokes will be a massive boost to their side from last time.

Australian cricket is still reeling from being defeated from an Indian B side. There's issues between Paine and Langer, and a couple sour comments made from Paine in the aftermath of the series that doesn't say anything good about how they're taking that loss and the position they're in now as a team.

I could watch Bumrah bowl to Anderson all day.

Especially when Bumrah thinks he's in The Hundred.

Bowling short but no short leg????

This is reminding of the famous Michael clarke statement in Ashes 2013 - Get ready for a broken ........
