Glad it wasn't a no ball second time around for Woakes, it was so close earlier.

Ali in at 3? Bold move cotton. It's more to let Brook drop down the order in fairness, worked a treat last test (for Brook anyway!). |

Commentator : it's all going England's way.
Very next ball, Mo gets caught.

The commentators on Sky and TMS are unabashedly trying mockers/commentators curse throughout this series!

This is going far too well. I'm worried.

And he's got it. Australia not doing a great deal to stop them at the moment.
Something I'm probably going to regret typing soon I'm sure.

Bugger, Crawley gone for 189 just after that terrible fielding, which was hilarious.

And now Root, come on lads don't let the Aussies think they can get back in the game.

As amazing as we've been today, not entirely sure what the last hour's been about... we've been going around 3 an over in a match where time is absolutely critical.

I reckon they have realised that this could be a bat once scenario and have the Australians trying to save things whilst coming on and off for bad weather. Better to get the runs on the board at this point without going full bifta.

I think so. It's nice to be in this position, it doesn't happen v the Aussies very often. I don't think they'll be overly cautious but, you're probably right, 200 or so would be great.

Australia just seemed to be confused at what to do this afternoon, like they'd taken a knock to the head and were a bit concussed.
