Good start this morning, but Smith will press on now. Hmm.

Australia missed out on putting us to the sword there, however thoughts on England being bowled out for sub 180?
I reckon so

Can't see our top order put on a score like the Aussies did but best of luck to them.
Good stuff from our bowling unit this morning to at least give us a chance.

The pitch isn't deadly at the moment. I think we need to just bat a session or two without any fireworks.

Decent from Carey there. Shame for Crawley, played well until then.

Smith just beat Waugh in terms of centuries scored for us. He's a ways off equalling Punter, but still... it's a good effort!

I admire him in the same way I admire Higgins and Djokovic!

This looks like a draw. Both batting well, tame pitch.
England will look at 475 min.

I'd like Smith more if he just walked once in a while, every time he shakes his head and immedately goes for a review. I'm not sure how many he has wasted in his career

This is actually a golden opportunity for England with Lyon off. Just bide your time, let the seamers bowl short stuff, wear themselves out, and then capitalise later. No need to force it.

Sigh, there goes my optimism.
Honestly throwing away a fantastic, hard earned position here. Root should know better imo.

Yeah, they've done the hard work and just shat themselves Not a quite. Mad hour or so but far too quick hitting the panic / we’re fucked button. Press coverage is the same - one minute swooning the next minute lambasting them. Today was a good day with a score England would have taken at the start of it. |

It's nicely poised again, but feels like it shouldn't be.
Either because Australia fluffed it this morning with their own collapse, or because of England's insistence on trying to score off all those short balls.
So really... bit of a shit show for both sides.

I'm all for playing positively but that can take various forms and flapping around at the short delivery isn't working.

They've adopted the Brexit method. Everyone needs to stop talking England down and it'll work!
