This is tense stuff. Aussies have really stirred up the hornets nest stokes on fire 45-4 when he came in |

Some game this.
Never seen members’ going at (Aussie) players like that either following the Bairstow stumping as they were walking up the Long Room to lunch.

After yesterday’s debacle with dropped catches etc costing England at least 150 runs ,to lose both Root and now Bairstow inside 30 minutes this morning is absolutely piss-poor.

Wood making a difference to that Bowling attack. Did he really? Marsh smacked him about with disdain. He cleaned up the lower order but that’s nothing exceptional. He’s fast but undisciplined. This pitch is suiting the bowlers as Cumdog and Starc are showing. |

This pitch is suiting the bowlers as Cumdog and Starc are showing. Marsh smacked everyone around. He got the wickets & he more than contributed to a slow run rate before lunch. All irrelevant as the rest of it is just same old,same old Australia are better with the bat,ball & in the field. |

This pitch is suiting the bowlers as Cumdog and Starc are showing. Eh? Wood has been brilliant. Even when he doesn't get wickets, he shits them up. Just a shame he's made of quavers. I've got no doubt we will make Head and Marsh make mistakes today but we need to make it count in the field. If we do lose today, Stokes and McCullum have to take responsibility for not having Foakes as WK |

They had mixed up Woakes and Wood's figures. I see now that Wood was 5-34. That's why I said what I said earlier. That is brilliant, you're 100% right. |

To be fair, even if he was 5-73 then that's still brilliant. Guessing you didn't watch then, he was inswinging at 96mph. Unplayable. Fucking rain!!! Covers out and people with brollies up in the stands, doesn't look good for an 11 start |

Covers out and people with brollies up in the stands, doesn't look good for an 11 start Mark Wood absolutely leaves nothing behind,he’s been fantastic this test,Woakes has also done a great job today. This test is on a knife-edge, the best I’ve seen for a while ,and I’d (normally)be glued from 11:00am tomorrow,but we’re taking our beloved granddaughter out for the day tomorrow. Bugger! |

Shame that Jimmy wasn't firing but all the other pace bowlers are making much more of an impact than him. Can only see him coming back in if Wood or Robinson break down. But then Tongue is also high in the pecking order |

Surely only an England team famed for collapsing would collapse at this point
