Lots of empty space in front of square for Duckie. Easy runs if he can hit down the ground.

 

Smart captaincy by Cummins. The short stuff has unsettled England.

 

Can't get a Root with no balls!

 

So England 199-2 after 40 overs against, apparently, the world’s best bowling attack. The Aussies, with, apparently, the world’s best batsmen were 198-3 after 54 overs. ****ing Bazball.

 

Duckett lost the left hand grip and ball falls short of Smith. Lucky?

 

Aussies short stuff with boundary riders everywhere and dopey Pope obliges them. Lyon done a calf and ****ed, we have them by the nuts, no need to hand them simple wickets. The hard work has been done, just bat sensibly and all day tomorrow and wed be in a super strong position !

 

Ffs Duckett

 

Great to see the Aussies running from all the boundaries to ‘celebrate’ getting Root out in a massive team huddle, then have to run back because so called all rounder Cameron Green bowled a no ball.

 

Sorry to say, spoke too soon I think.
Feel bad for Duckett. Could have done with two more runs then the wicket. Well played anyway. .
GAME ON!

 

Kudos to Cummins. The short ball tactic has worked because England won't let the ball go.

England need to take a step back.

 

Tell that to McCullum. England looking to play Bazball if going by Brook's batting.

 

England should just let the short balls go by for a few overs. It'll get very tiring for the bowlers. Rope a dope.

 

Starc a liability 0-70 off 11 overs. But only 2 off his last over.
Maybe he's starting to get the message.

 

Definitely a catch!

 

Rooted! More reasons to hate Smitty.

 

England trying to throw it away after all that hard work

 

For ****'s sake, this is utterly dumb. Just leave the ****ing ball.

Smith grounded that, by the way.

 

Agree. Bazball not working if you try to hit every ball.

 

. I blame the umpires.
