I swear it feels like all of Bairstow's wickets this series have been drag ons. What the hell.

Oh gee, we’re pitching it up & getting wickets

It’s a miracle

 

[Qlder]

If only Carey caught Brook

Watch them go short now we're in the tail (though tbf bowling short to Brook and Woakes is possibly the right strategy even though it didn't work at Leeds)

Come on get these blokes under 250

 

[RightArmMystery]

Beautiful shot. Carty would have enjoyed that. Can everyone post about how good it was plz?

I’d be annoyed as if they go short and spread the field now

 

[Molehill]

For all that the ball is doing a bit, half these wickets have fallen to some terrible shots.

story of the series the latter

 

[loterry1994]

Good call to take Murphy off earlier there’s still plenty for the seamers and looks darker

 

[RightArmMystery]

Brook gone. Really wanted him to ****house his way to a ton.

 

[Alex0paul]

Yessss

Only half?

 

[chris.hinton]

Bairstow only gets runs vs Australia when it doesn't really matter. It mattered today and he failed

 

[hazsa19]

Can’t criticise Jonny because he broke his leg a year ago.

 

[Socerer 01]

one ***y shot and then a dreadful one after

 

[Spark]

Now the tricky bit begins...

He used to get bowled all the time. I think we all forgot that when he was in nick.

 

[Molehill]

Only half?

Erm yeah, you could in fact argue that only Crawley didn't really get himself out (ironic really).
