Great morning that could be even better if Bairstow didn't play like he keeps wicket in oven gloves.

Smashed a bowl of fried onions yesterday tried to land them with one oven glove, Baistow-esque

I'm confident Bairstow is on the fried onions as well.

This is why I thought Bairstow should've been under more pressure, he's just not good enough with the gloves and I don't think his batting is good enough to offset it.

The Root drop is horrible as well.

I don't want to reopen old arguments but this is another example of why I think our work in the field/with the ball is the bigger problem in the series so far, the focus on bazball has detracted from those very real issues of us giving them too many chances.

Once again in this series we get ourselves on top and just let them back into it with our horrendous lack of ruthlessness

Mitchell Marsh looks hopeless against any team that isn't us too

Head and Marsh dropped on a combined score of 21. They're now on a combined 82, so that's 61 they've put on already.

The wheels have well and truly come off for England now. This session has been horrific both in terms of tactics and execution

Pope out for the rest of the Ashes. Lawrence expected to be his replacement.

Should have been dropped with Tongue retaining his place. That and Bairstow's continued selection is a mistake.

Robinson is infuriating.

His fitness and lack of effort to improve it since he came into the England set up are an embarrassment.

No sign of Stokes bowling either.
