Need at least three wickets by lunch.

Well, there's the first.  Beauty from Archer.

Wicket to Jofra and straight off for rain.

Rain seems to have put paid to that plan.

Bloody Yorkshire.  Weather's lovely here at the moment.

The Aussies are missing more than they're hitting and leaving combined it seems.

How many times have we seen this happen at Headingley? The England captain gets tempted by the conditions, puts the opposition in to bat, the ball swings round corners but never seems to find an edge, then the conditions suddenly favour batting and the oppo put on 500+.

I hope it's not the case this time round but I'm starting to get that feeling.

There isn't a lot you can do about rain, but the ridiculous decision to go off for "bad light" has swung this game Australia's way.

I don't think there is any sport which treats its supporters with such disdain as cricket.

Its looking dangerous at the moment. Woakes and Stokes have bowled poorly and Root is waiting far too long to take them out the attack.

I’d have leach bowling at one end and rotate Archer and Broad at the other.

I agree with your point about the bad light, but what has given Australia the advantage is how poorly Woakes and Stokes are bowling.

Woakes has gone at over a run a ball yet Root has taken him out of the attack? That's awful captaincy

70 runs off 11 overs since tea so Root turns to Archer.

Stokes and Woakes have been bowling pies here.  Pisspoor and let all the pressure off.
