Hope I'm wrong and often am but it looks like innings defeat territory (not that the Aussies would enforce the follow-on). I'll be surprised if we get past 150 tbh. Root's mentally shattered, Stokes is physically battered and the rest hardly inspire confidence.
Oh my goodness, Just gone in the kitchen to make a cup of coffee and Root goes. Before you know it we will be 120 odd for 7. It's pathetic, it really is
Ouch, marginal decision and unlucky with the low bounce given where the previous ball had hit him but 81-4 so it looks like we're on the usual slippery slope. Time for a kip!
aussie last 5 wkts = 99 runs eng first 5 wkts = 85 runs! aussie comm team yesterday were talking about langer getting sacked soon too
