One more wicket and we are back in this game

Good fight back

20 for 0 at stumps would seal a good day

Now 31 for 4. I've never been so disgusted or embarrassed to be an English cricket fan.

Can we really bowl them out for less than 300 and lose by an innings?

I thought it couldn't get worse ..... it seems it might!

best to fake covid in the squad and return home to save us further humiliation.

I feel sorry for our bowlers. Generally speaking they perform well and give us a chance in most games, but even as they're taking wickets, they must know that the other half of their team will waste the opportunities they create.

50 each from Root, Stokes, Bairstow and Buttler and 50 from the tail and we set them a reasonable target.

2 -1 and the ashes are on again.

But then again I didn’t get much sleep last night so I am a bit too optimistic!

Their last 4 wickets, 'tailenders', put on 87 runs
Our first 4 wickets, 'openers', put on 22 runs... there is the series sealed in that session alone

lets scrap the ashes and play a team like Holland or Namibia all the time

I can see calls for a 3 match Ashes series in future, if it’s going to continue to be a non competitive farce for the most part.
