Brilliant 10th wicket stand

 

Great entertainment

Root’s noise ending 100.

Then the last wicket stand to put England on top at 325-9

 

Fair point

 

This morning’s buffet bowling and dropped catches is going to cost us. Any lead above 100 and it’s game over I think sadly.

 

Australia have to bat last, so we are still in this game.

 

If they get 100 lead then that’s at least 300 we’ll need to have anything competitive second innings.

If I thought more than one of our batters had the common sense to just see off Starc rather than try and smash him all over the place from ball one then I’d be more hopeful!
