I thought if Australia got close or a lead we could be in trouble giving our batting.

Crowd also cheering a man that has been hit one the hit is horrible as well. Reminds me of the NBA Finals this year where the Toronto crowd cheered after KD got injured.

Apologize for going off topic but have to defend my Raptors here. The crowd cheered because they thought Ibaka got the steal and not because of KD's injury. KD was actually given a standing ovation once crowd found out that he actually got injured.

Hopefully Burns can shepheard the tail.....

I can honestly see this series going 4 or 5 nil

Oh things don't look good at all; the only glimmee of a silver lining must be that Smith looked vulnerable against Archer, but he still got 92 match-turning runs.

Burns aside there's not really anyone left who I'd back to dig in for a rearguard. Maybe Stokes or Woakes?

Burns has really impressed I must say: Yes he looks awkward now and then but he has that grit and over my dead body attitude where as Roy and Denly just look completely out of depth.

If we can get a 250 lead this could get very interesting.

It will take us at least four sessions to get that kind of lead even if we could....

We might get 40 overs at them?

England's Test batting stats since the last Ashes (NSFW):

Anyone with -oakes in their name should play by default: anyone lower than Jennings needs to be ignored forever!

I’d like that Cook guy to be given a go.

Yeah I was being sarcastic but indeed if we can set up a target that gives 40 overs to have a good bowl at them then we have a small chance but we need to crack on....
