This is nerve jangling stuff. They look like taking a wicket every ball and we keep the scoreboard ticking over.

For all the so called positivity of this regime..they are remarkably cautious in selection. Bringing back Ali was incomprehensible and persisting with Bairstow has hung them.

What about Rehan Ahmed?

Shows how deluded the man is. Hope Smith gave him.plenty on his miserable walk back.

Even if this Test is rescued and that is entirely down to these two now...it just papers over the cracks. Crawley..Duckett...Brook...Bairstow...Ali...are one day players. They lack the discipline and mentality to play the 5 day game. Without Leach we lack balance. Bairstow is giving...

Worst keeper I have ever seen in an England shirt. But he is picked for his batting so what do I know?

Mentality all wrong.

Really?....I think not...!!!!....absolutely fcking useless....should be dropped and dropped now. Chucked it away first knock. Another loose shot. So many negative points against the man. Nothing more than a flat track bully in one day cricket. No technique at this level. A liability in this series.

Its loose cricket at this level. Hard and demanding. High levels of concentration and discipline. Tough opponents. Play the percentages. However decent you are, you will lose some sessions to the best Test team in the world. Doesn't mean to say that you make it easier for them. We have and will...

This was going to be a tough series even if England played well in every Test. Bowled fairly tightly..caught most catches..top order put some decent stands together. None of that has happened. The Aussies have waited for us to make mistakes and taken advantage. They have looked Bazball in the...

We have to mop up the tail after the chances we give the better batsmen. They should have been 98-5 and nowhere near 150. Once again, a wonderful opportunity goes begging. Bairstow again ( and again and again ) and Root inexplicably drops a dolly. I know Headingly isn't great for sighting the...

Well....if ' old iron gloves ' is to make up for his mistakes behind the stumps so far in this series, then he needs to make something in the region of 240.

The frustration of the first two Tests still sits with me. So many opportunities not taken. Our batsmen are averaging more than the Aussies but we are 0-2 down. Indifferent bowling and key catches dropped significant. Anderson has finally lost his edge and continually picking ' old iron gloves '...
