Aussies are already nearly at a stage where we can't win this game.

Head scoring at a run a ball.

Much has been made of Bazball and our scoring prowess, but it doesn't matter if we keep bowling dross like this. The Ashes already starting to feel beyond us.

Root has temporarily stopped the Ashes slipping away. But if it’s turning for him Lyon will be lethal come innings 4.

We haven’t helped ourselves first and foremost but it’s well established that Stokes has requested flat QUICK wickets. 2 tests and that hasn’t occurred and it’s really hurting us because it highlights that ‘sameness’ in our attack. 4/5 mph makes all the difference and all 3 main bowlers (+Stokes) are down on what you’d normally expect last test and so far in this. I am not sure Robinson isn’t carrying a niggle either but no excuses.
We need that point of difference or actually, probably 2. We can turn this around but we haven’t half made it difficult for ourselves again.

Weather permitting it’s going to be 5-0 Australia.

I think this test, as like the 1st, will be determined by how much wag is in each tail.

Set off home from work and it was 188 for 1. By the time I got home, we were 4 down.

It wasn't a long journey.

Why do we consistently shoot ourselves in the foot?

There has to be a middle ground. There is being positive and then simply reckless.

The loss of Lyon, potentially for the whole series, could swing things our way again. Providing we put on a decent showing in the rest of this innings. What is it with these spinners, eh? Dropping like flies.

Oh dear, 2nd ball of the day and we lose another wicket, Stokes caught at slip off Starc.  Great catch though!

Brook gets his 50 off 63 deliveries.
