I didn’t expect it to be him-I feel genuinely sad about that. What a career though. Unbelievable player and character!

Hope he goes out with a 50 not out and five wickets he deserves it.

One of those Broad spells would be a fitting way to bow out! 🤞

Great day for England yesterday, but...but...

Two things bothered me. We let their tail enders score too many runs and get a slight lead, when it should have been us coming out of the first innings with a lead.

We then had one of our spells where we were right on top, but let it slip at the end, losing 5 wickets for 47 runs.

We are in a great position, but when you have the boot on the neck of the Aussies, you need to keep it there. They are the ultimate fighters and they have a glimmer of a chance, when they should have had none.

We need more rain tomorrow seeing they have made a very good start.

They don't deserve to go home winning  3 - 1 .

Name ur 11 of the series n realistically there will be more English than Aussies. Think about who has been better to watch and it’s us by a country mile. Think of some of the best moments and they’re predominantly ours.

But they’ve retained (needs changing) the Ashes and if they continue as they have they’ll win the series. Madness!
I have to say this has been an absolutely enthralling series and I’ve loved watching us and even them (sometimes)

As entertaining as England have been, the Aussies are all about winning, and they just find a way.

I could use a cliche and say cricket has won, but I can't help but look back and think we could have won the first test,  and we should have won the second.

Utterly compelling right to the end...3 wickets needed...I will have a hole in my working-from-home life tomorrow.

Feck me, Town have some act to follow for this season, we'll need another cup run and play-off campaign like the last one to match it...Broad - a 6 and a wicket off his last stroke and ball and winning an Ashes Test to finish his career. Only the rain stopped him grabbing the urn as well.
