Just turned on TV. Aussies 285-6 Is this good, bad or indifferent on this ground? Suspect it's not too bad for us, but we now let them go on to a large score

It's a flat pitch so not bad for England if we can get them out for under 350.
There was no sign on hotspot and snicko detected a slight noise but after the ball had past the bat. Decision = not enough evidence to overturn.
Cook has thrown his wicket away. What a twat. He was well set in the 70's. He HAD to get a century. Very very poor shot from Cook.
I watched until lunch and we let them add on 30-40 runs that they shouldn't have. Now having a bad end to the day. Need someone to steady the ship.
My little girl was up at 4am so I had the pleasure of watching the team defeat itself again. A very steady start going along at 4 an over and then simply playing with fear once Carbs was out. Run rate dipped to less than 1, pressure builds and the inevitable follows. Just get on the front foot and start twatting it about again please! That'll sort everything out.
If we can hang on (not impossible) and crawl near to the Aussie score, this could end in a draw...then all to play for (straw-clutching mode).
Appalling stuff today. Lost 6 wickets for 71, missed numerous early chances in the field - prior especially. Australia 200-2 with 40 mins left today, a lead of 334. This series is going to be a whitewash.
