Ooh. That whizzes past the head ....of Head.
Would have left a huge dent in his helmet face guard.

 

100 - Aus.

 

Ali changing it up, but Head getting comfortable.

 

Drive over long on for 4 to Head. Too easy.

 

Heeellllooo! Anybody there!

 

I'm going to watch something more exciting.
Aah, channel 23 is showing a test pattern. Ooh, nice curves!

 

Head really doesn’t know how to play the short ball, does he? Ducking to Robinson, who is hardly fast, eye off the ball. He’ll be facing Wood at some stage, and wishing he didn’t play in whites……nice hit off Ali though. Aussies seem to be playing for the draw, it’ll take them 3 days to get a decent lead at this pace…..

 

Khawaja with shot of the day so far , over cover. Correction, next ball over bowler's head for six.

 

We are missing Wood's pace badly here and Ali ain't spinning it at all. Stokes should've bowled at Head straight after lunch if his knee was up to it

 

Looks like Ollie playing Head into form.
50 to Head.

 

I'd rather bowl Root than Ali !

 

Winviz has England 62% for win, Oz 34% and draw 4%.

 

I'd rather root than bowl Ali.

 

It worked lol. Get in. Head caught at mid wicket off Ali for 50. Hopefully that gives Ali confidence ! We needed that

 

Head down ... and out.

 

Bad miss by Bairstow.

 

Bollox. Green charges down and Ali rips it between bat and pad but Bairstow misses the ball for the stumping. Ffs big miss

 

Still want Root to take over from Ali?
Bairstow owes Ali a drink after that miss (Diet Coke of course).

 

Reverse psychology pal

 

Does anyone else think that Nasser Hussain looks a lot like Mr. Burns (from The Simpsons of course)?
