Only Potts, Bethel and Tongue playing in the day night warm up match. 3 players who have practically zero chance of playing in the next test match.

England deserve to lose this series 5-0

Ultimately they have to win the next game, and this decision just means they’ll be slaughtered if they don’t.

If England don't get through that group they should really just give up cricket.

I thought they had.

Cummins out again. Right, try and see off Starc.

I wonder if the batsmen (don't laugh) have apologised yet to the bowlers for failing to give them a proper rest between innings. Thirty overs isn't a long time to recover from bowling in hot conditions. No wonder they looked off the pace second time round.

Wood out, knee knack.

[Meanwood Villa]

I thought he'd break down in the first Test so he's beaten that expectation. Advantage of a two day Test.

Yeah not ideal. Tongue not finding much wicket taking penetration in Canberra.
