Hard to tell, today has been a perfect surface for the bowlers, giving just enough variation off the pitch to trick batsman so as soon as anyone has got the line and length right they've looked unplayable.

Obviously Stokes will get all oft he credit with his 5fer but the early spells from Jof and Carse were exceptional and ripping out their top order like that set a platform.

Archer bowled incredibly well to set the tone. Carse got his control of length spot on.

What a day! Epic!

Olaftab I now reckon casino is the best bet for the Leeds game. It’s on an odd channel called Stan sports which most of the pubs don’t show!

Can’t wait for tomorrow!

That wicket of Weatherald was cricket porn.

It was crucial that we were right on it straight away and we were. It’s a funny one, watching the highlights back there are loads of shots that are really true and the pitch looks fine.

We have to bat so much better as a unit tomorrow.

Not sure starting with two none wicket taking bowlers is the best thing this morning. If Stokes is trying to gift the a wicket and they don’t it will further affect their confidence.

Great catch from Starc who gets Crawley for 0 again in the first over.

England looking comfortable batting now, a lead of 73 with just one down.

A 250+ lead should win us this test. Come on boys.
