    I'm going the other way. Put £10 on us at 4/1 around 11:30am.

    Not sure of the tactics here. Getting a single per over isn't going to cut it. I'd like to see him trust Broad a bit more by taking the single OR utilise that last ball of the over to get a boundary

    He’s been brilliant. Damage was done by others. 4 under 10 is horrendous

    That spell from Cummins and Starc last night was near impossible to play. The balls that got Pope and Brook were special.

    Well. That was brainless from Robinson.

    True, can’t do too much about them, but the others? Crawley for 3 FFS.

    You'd have to think so. Not sure a team has ever come back from 2 down but today has given me a lot of heart.....

    Main difference between the teams has been taking catches I'd say, though their bowling is clearly better too. I've lost count of the missed chances and catches by England, but Australia have missed very few.

    Must say though, that if both teams keep up this relentless short pitch, negative cricket, I won't be killing myself to watch it.

    Frustrating how Robinson and Broad gave their wickets away. Nothing wrong with taking singles and seeing how close we could get

    What’s Broad said to/ or about Carey? I can see something about it on Sky Sports but because I’m out of the country I can’t get access to the details.

    If they weren’t cheating ****ers they wouldn’t be in Australia in the first place, they’d be playing for England

    Robinson particularly, who seems a genuinely stupid bloke.

    But singles are hard to get when almost every ball is between your chest and head. Awful cricket to watch, just awful, and if it continues, I'm done with it.

    Not sure if they've said, but I can guess!

    It was something like "that's all you be remembered for now"

    Was that in response to Bairstow’s stumping?

    I think things will be easier if the powers that be declare, with the agreement of all the players, to do away with sportsmanship and that it is perfectly acceptable to get somebody out using such tactics.

    Also something along the lines of "the worst thing [he's] seen in cricket"
