Best hope for BD to restrict scoring is stick to spin for the next 30 overs if have have enough bowlers who can do that. Their medium pacers are going to take lot of punishment.

That’s come from nothing, but good platform set by the opening pair.

[PaulWinch again]

Roy on the move now.

[PaulWinch again]

Not the best knock from Root that.

[PaulWinch again]

Christ, Roy is going bananas.

[PaulWinch again]

Out now though. Cracking knock.

Hope Buttler’s injury is only minor, he’s clearly suffering a bit.

Bairstow is keeping wicket

[PaulWinch again]

Good performance. Jofra was bowling rapid.

Love watching England at present just hoping Woakesy gets back on form bowling - he's a more than decent batter and fielder.

[PaulWinch again]

Yes he had a bad day with the ball.

Just got back to Bristol from the game - largely excellent by England after Monday but got to say what a joke hosting international cricket at that sh@thole. 40 minutes to get in having arrived well before 10 so missed the start. WiFi goes down so cash only at the bar and no change available. No customer care attitude at all from the stewards. Wouldn’t give them another fixture.

I'm off to watch and support Sri Lanka on Saturday, at The Oval.

It will be nice to see Aussies take 3 beatings this week starting with India today, Pakistan on Wednesday and hopefully with your support on Saturday against Sri Lanka.

Zampa chucks so many pies it's untrue.  The Aussie bowling is poor once you see off Cummins and Starc, and even Starc blows hot and cold.
