I'm not sure this morning could have been that much worse.
When things turn on Bazball, it's going to get really toxic, isn't it? Because it's basically dozy, carefree stuff which is brilliant when it works. We're a team of Kevin Pietersens - and don't get me wrong, that's great fun, but it looks so bad when it goes wrong.

For all the Bazball handwringing in the press, there's not much you can do if the opposition are better at batting, bowling and fielding than you.

Quiet finish that.
It's a shame it's not 1-1 really because this is an absolute classic series in everything apart from the scoreline. My point of view is we've had two tightly contested, entertaining games with England playing much closer to the Aussies than their "true" level but I can also see the argument where we've lost two games, one against Australia with Smith & Marnus making 38 runs in the match and us declaring an innings, and the second where the Aussies had 10 men. Pick your own adventure I guess.

Really it was the first innings mess that lost us the game. I hope the Bairstow controversy will have lit a fire under them for Headingly.

England have dropped Aussies 4, 5 and 6 already in this game. Our catching is dreadful.

The Aussies have not dropped England's 1, 2, 3 and 4. Is this in the spirit of cricket?

Zak Crawley has an amazing ability to look both imperious and unconvincing at the same time, despite the fact that they really should be opposites.
All going England's way now, flying along in this session. Need a bit of luck with the weather this weekend though.

That session was one of the most extraordinary I've ever seen. The Aussies completely lost it. Was great, haha.
