I thought i'd come back on have a look to see if the doubters are out in force....no need for anyone to get twitchy as VFL says above Patience will win out.

It's strange that our bowlers have been on top of them on numerous occasions but we still concede lots of runs quickly. 5 an over at the moment. It's like our attack is based on Ossie Ardiles' Spurs team.

I like Wood, but don't think he's a new ball bowler at test level just yet.

Was a poor drop from Cook

Cook has understandably set a very attacking field so runs are available.

And apart from Broad not sure we have bowled that well.

Warner dropped twice now.

[Chris Jameson]

I know he's a Villa fan and all that but an equally poor drop from Bell.

Broad not getting any wickets so far must mean he's in danger of losing his place in the next Test along with Cook, Bell etc

I don't think Bell's was an easy chance.

Stokes looking a bit more threatening.

Come on England, the way this is going Aus will have a lead by tomorrow lunchtime with none down!

[Villan For Life]

We have some quality players and our attack is pretty good. The only weakness is the lack of a quality spinner. Moeen has bowled some dross so far. It doesn't take much for Cook to lose confidence in him and remove him from the attack which means an increased workload on the other bowlers.

To be fair i love Belly but that was in his hand for a while and just failed to hang on to it....should have.

[Proposition Joe]

Root can share the spinning duties.

The Aussies are showing again why they are  the cockroaches of the cricket world.  They just won't fkin die goddammit!

[PGW]

At last!!!!....oh no!!!!

[Ron Manager]

Blowers has just got it wrong in two consecutive balls. Neither time was Rogers out. As Boycott said!

[paul_e]

very frustrating from Wood, for me overstepping with the front foot is inexcusable at this level.
