A drop catch, an umpire's call on LBW turned down, a very close leave. On another day, Woakes could have had four wickets already, rather than just the one.

It's so good to see him and Wood back in the side.

That big over from Holland should be enough for them to do it

We need a couple of wickets SOON

These ashes are over. We aren’t good enough in the field.

Brilliant 100.

We had our chance, but we dropped him on 12. I will never have sympathy with dropping simple catches.

Moeen Ali has been a complete waste of space in this series. Just a ludicrous decision to pick him.

But he came out of retirement for a Hollywood story of second chances as he took us to Ashes success!

Edam it the cloggies won, gouda be cheesy in the Netherlands tonight.

 

[tomw24]

Got him!

Marsh will be furious he didn't make it to tea but much needed for England. TBF the situation is now OK. 240-5 with this outfield is not bad. Could have been so much better obviously but that wicket of Marsh has changed things quite a lot.

 

[st_brendy]

STOP DROPPING THEM!

 

[st_brendy]

Better

Woakes and Wood. Woakes and Wood. Woakes and Wood.

Plumber than a plumber eating a plumb

 

[tomw24]

Wahey!

 

[tomw24]

That Marsh wicket just before tea looks huge now!

I've got no idea how capable Murphy is with the bat. But to come in ahead of Boland would suggest that he's not a complete bunny.

 

[tomw24]

Carey's taking a pounding here!

 

[tomw24]

Bye bye cheat.

Very deserved 5 wicket haul.

Excellent to bowl them out for 263. But oh it could have been so much better. One man, one partnership.
