Bad toss to lose …again and Joe sounded very nervous.

[UK Redsox]

Bugger……it’s started already 

Hameed gone for a Duck

[UK Redsox]

BT have their own commentators for this test, but the commentary sound isn’t quite in sync with the original pictures.

[Risso]

Crawley gone too. Deary me.

[Risso]

Opening partnership averaging 7 so far this series, the worst for 150 yesrs.

[olaftab]

Root did well not to touch the ball similar to one that removed Hameed.

[Villafirst]

You might as well play Woakesy as an extra batsman.given how poorly the openers have performed in this series. He's got better application and technique than any of them.

[tony scott]

Maybe woakes for opening bat at least he’s can roll his arm over

[PaulWinch again]

Suitability embarrassing this is another game we won’t make 200. I’ve seen some bad Ashes campaigns, but this is utterly disgraceful.

[PaulWinch again]

Oh and Buttler throws everything he did in Adelaide. Well done Jos.

Pathetic effort from an embarrassment of a team.

[PaulWinch again]

They keep banging on about not repeating mistakes and they do exactly the same thing again and again and again. Get in, lack the patience they require, then play a loose shot and get out.

This lot are worse than the 90s team(s). We’ll lose this, so how many Tests defeats will that be  this calendar year? 9? Fucking hell.

[Steve67]

What an embarrassment. The Australians haven’t broken sweat once this series. Another heavy loss on the cards. We are only interested in one day cricket seemingly.

[Monty]

It's good in a way. Purging. No excuses. Many heads rolling overdue down the steps of the guillotine. In the long run, it can be helpful to have these tumbril moments.

[manic-road]

Just pathetic again, no idea how Buttler keeps his place. Once I heard Bairstow had been picked I assumed wrongly that he would come in for Buttler.

[N'ZMAV]

shambles again by the batsmen
