nil desperandum

While England lose wickets they score runs

Anything around 300 gives the bowlers a chance

212 - 7 Brook caught for 85. Where are the useless Aussies. ENG lost 4 wickets for 27 :halo:

Plus Ali's further participation questionable.

Don't mind that for 80+ runs

Would you rather he batted all day for 50 and received a good ball with his name on it?

I would prefer if he was still there, if that means playing conservatively for a while yes.

Tea 250 for 7

Wonder what the most overs Root has bowled in a single innings. Might have to break the total to cover for Ali

Just done a search and he bowled 20 overs at Adelaide Oval in 2021.

Ponting thinks Stokes will declare once Woakes and Wood have gone.

We will miss Leach that is for sure

Wood and Woakes going well

Australia catching is almost useless.
