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 hope Woods has been holding a bit back for that twat.

Gareth Southgate on TMS trying to equate his England mindset with Bazball. Yeah, whatever, Horseface.

Oh that's a horrible drop from Root, absolute sitter. Our catching has been atrocious.

According to Saltz that’s 13 dropped catches plus two wickets off no balls to date in this series. That’s a pathetic performance

It's more than 3 an innings. Very hard to win a test match let alone a series with figures like that.  If you work out what the dropped players go on to score, you'll see how important it is.

It's building here. The drops are so fucking annoying.

Broad and Wood the pick so far.

Just catching up on TMS on the wireless, sounds like a good morning apart from dropping catches, obviously fireworks no doubt to come with Cummins and Carey but has anyone put a few beamers down yet?

Talked about taking our chances and that is a poor drop straight after lunch.  Take that and we're into Carey and then the tail.  Hope it is not too costly.
