A superb innings but turning down about a dozen singles  at 6 down was a mistake. Other than he obvious it allowed Aussies to set their own tactics to manage him.

Lyon going off injured when we were 190/1 in our first innings should have been the defining moment of the test match and perhaps the series as a whole. It was such a wonderful opportunity.

Yep it’s that first innings balls up that’s cost us this game.

Game over - good effort (second innings) but overall, thrown away again. And they cheated.

Australia could avoid all this controversy by simply not being ******.

Far be it from me to defend a bunch of upside down lager gargling offspring of convicts but I don't think they cheated.

Not as bad as expected I guess. Australia seem to get rattled easily and are as cynical as they’ve ever been, but England don’t put the pressure on enough, instead they make dumb decisions. 0-2 to the sandpapers.

What’s the context of that remark? I switched off after the last wicket.

They were talking about Lords actually having an atmosphere for the first time ever
