TAKE NEW EFFING BALL CHAPS

I assume there's some logical reason why they haven't, but I don't understand it.

New ball taken. I'll be interested to learn why they waited.

The extra over from Root made sense and I can understand why Stokes took another himself but the next Root over was a mistake and ate far too much into the lead.

The shot from Lyon for 4 is why they were nervy though.

Yeah, no idea why Root was allowed to bowl again. Still, we'll see. A wicket in the next over, or England's done.

Time to switch off. There is no way I can bear Aussies celebrating a Test win at Edgbaston.

Prevarication over the new ball has done us here. Time to take it was to bowl at the new tail-enders. Instead, we let them get their eye in and since they took it it's flown off the bat.

It hasn't, dropped catches and missed stumpings have cost us, if we do lose this.
