Looks a cloudy day for the decider, might be a bowl first.

Been lucky tossers thus far.

Eng 9–2 off 3 overs. Already into the forward defensive strokes...

Been a disappointing series. We seem to be relying on hoping the Aussies screw up, rather than on attacking.

I'd say we've been struggling because of some out of form batters against a very good set of bowlers rather than a lack of attacking intent. Even Bairstow who has somehow managed to score a few has looked out of touch and has struggled for timing.

What a start from Starc - looks like we'll need Morgan and Buttler firing on all cylinders to make a game of it

Stokes is also a big miss.

Bit harsh to say we've disappointed given it's 1 all and the current batters are going after them.

Bairstow needs to bat through here for us to have a chance. It’s been pretty poor.

Billings 50 up. JB approaching 100.

Good recovery this.

100 partnership up, great variety from Billings 55* at a run a ball, Bairstow closing in on his century. What could possibly go wrong?

We’re making this pitch look difficult, hopefully it is!
