It's a pity that the Manchester weather has made this an interesting game rather than the absolutely epic game this series deserved. Two pretty equal teams with very contrasting styles. Watching Australia bat was like watching paint dry for much of the day. Whatever happens over the next three days Bazball is worth persevering with, maybe with a bit more brain if that's not contradictory. The Aussies will go home with the ashes, but I'm sure they will realise it was very close to going the other way.
