This batting line up as a whole have not been getting good enough totals for a while now. We have come in under prepared and have completely underestimated the Australians. We look an utter shambles.

[PaulWinch again]

We need a massive reaction from the batsmen remaining now. They need to look very hard at the attitude they adopt, or we'll be 1-0 down in this series and massively under pressure.

[PaulWinch again]

Fucking hell a hot spot technical is the reason Trott wasn't saved, what a fucking shambles.

[Monty]

Not a lot has been made of it but I really thought Starc's celebration was uncalled for. The kind of needless cocky cockness which makes you hope for a big failure in his life.

For me the technology has got to be better than that!

So we didn't have side-on Hot Spot for Trott because it was prepared to show the catch behind for the Root dismissal and you can't play and record Hot Spot at the same time...

[PaulWinch again]

Starc is a fucking bellend.

We've dished out enough to the Aussies in the last few series.

[PaulWinch again]

Surely if hot spot wasn't working, then the umpire's decision should have stood and Australia get their review back.

But like that? I'm not sure. I'm not sure even Warne used to do that. It was like Merv Hughes on a bad day.

[The Left Side]

Makes for a good day tomorrow, come on England.

[curiousorange]

Agar had a brilliant day, but the bowling at him and Hughes was nothing short of pathetic. Finn in particular looked worse than a club cricketer.

[PaulWinch again]

Cook and KP did excellently in the last session, we could easily have crumbled. It's good to see KP knuckle down and try and play a proper innings. We need to bat long tomorrow.

[andyaston]

By all accounts Agar batted at number 3 for Henley during his time there. He is no way a number 11 but the bowling was far too short at him. A very strange Test this one.

[PaulWinch again]

I hope we've learned some lessons from our bowling at Agar today.

[lovejoy]

Just catching up.
Trott plays and think he Knicks the ball on to his pad.
The on field umpire agrees ns gives not out.
The Aussies refer it and the video evidence is inconclusive. A key piece of evidence is not available.
.....and he's given out?
