This is some atrocious batting. Time for the tail end to slog us to 320!

Oh dear! Baz ball and Ashes tests don’t mix.

Broad gone, 325-9 - has reviewed. - lost it!

They always said that while Bazball was great, it hadn't had a proper test against Australia.

All out for 325! I wasn't far off, they just didn't slog :D

Lead of 91. Let's just hope we can remember to bowl well and catch better.

Just woke up, didn’t expect to wake up and England be all out. More poor batting?

Very poor, taking the short ball bait, not much patience were 188-1 and lost the next 9 for 137!

I am beginning to question whether Stokes merits his place in the team. Not scoring runs, very limited as to how much he can bowl and hobbling around with his dodgy knee.

This has been an epic fail so far. Likely to be two down and needing a miracle!!

Head should have been out first ball

Smith out

England still in this big time

281 the lead with 6 wickets left

Obviously the next hour is critical

I’d fancy our chances if under 350. Provided we bat sensibly like we started off in the first innings.

371 to win, should be doable without the silly mistakes
