Credit to the Aussies - their bowlers came out firing and their hostility got us in trouble with two down. We need to match that when we're in the field. Let's hope we've got a total to defend.

The difference between the sides is that the best batsman in the world has performed, and so far the second best batsman hasn't. Time for Root to show his mettle.

Also, seriously missing Stokes. He could have tipped the series in our favour.

I think roots the best batsmen in England and Smith is defo the best in Australia, much more faster pitches in Australia than it is England but then you don't get the swing like you do in England.

We need a good 4th day with Root scoring a ton hopefully,

A draw looks the favourite unless we collapse or they do.

I don't know what's worse- getting hammered like last time, or giving us a bit of hope, only to collapse to a limp defeat like this time. We just don't have the mental toughness like they do and we have too many average players. Need to respond in the next test, but once the Aussies smell blood, they are ruthless.

Missed Ben stokes seems a ridiculous decision to not to take him.

It's going to be 5-0 again, isn't it?
