I'm actually feeling a bit sorry for Cummins. He's a good man and an excellent bowler, but the captaincy seems to have become a bit much for him.

Tough for a fast bowler to be captain.
He’s should be helped by the experience in the team but Smith and Warner don’t seem to be helping, odious characters that they are.
 
Said there were a few keeping low ! Unlucky for Root, great innings again. Brilliant for us going forward if those balls keep staying low as long as we get far enough ahead. Ridiculous how low that kept

Get a decent lead and this wicket may start to offer some unpredictability.
Just back from having my hip replaced.
Been watching on my laptop for two days.
I think we'll try to battill just before lunch tomorrow, although we seem to have slowed a bit.

Fantastic day for Engkand, Aussies on their knees. Hopefully we blast it for 2 hours till lunch and then stick em back in. Hopefully there's cloud cover and the lights are on but no rain. Not much to ask lol. Come on England
 
Great stat of the day.....

Crawley has more runs in this innings than Warner has in the series..... yay
This is where the current fashion for short, intense tours can backfire. Warner is hugely out of form but his potential replacements in the squad have no form at all because there are no other games for them to shine in.
 
Some rain around Manchester this morning..... keep everything crossed that it buggers off and we get to start on time..... an hour of mayhem to add another 100 then get them in on a surface that is already showing signs of uneven bounce.....
