Amazing what can happen when they put Bazball away and actually play test cricket.

Learning from Greaves and Roach?

Oz going with the same short pitched approach that didn't work for us.

Will be too little too late in this test for England unless a miracle happens.

Well done Neser. Nabbed a Michelle on his home turf.

I've been out since about 3.30 so missed the carnage. Just saw highlights and Smith's catch was spectacular. What a freak.

He’s no Glenn Phillips but it was a decent effort I guess. Hardly a freak

Well done on another Ashes hammering, I thought Stokes and Jack were doing ok before Neser struck !

Australia are going to knock these off in double quick time.

Great news for England. They will be able to get a full round of Golf in tomorrow.

[sparky]

Lord Botham not holding back on England's shambolic approach to these Tests.

[MN5]

Australia are making a bit of a meal of this

[sparky]

England get a couple of wickets. Too little, too late?

Aussie need 24 runs, England 8 more wickets.

[sparky]

70 more runs and England would have been right in this.

[sparky]

Smith is smashing them around the ground.

Aussie need 15 to win.

[sparky]

Smith hits Archer for six.

Australia are not without weaknesses but they’re lucky they’re playing the dumbest team in test history

Yep, Bazball, and the coach, have turned into a mindless cult of positivity.

[sparky]

Both sides need 8.

[sparky]

England's field placements are just bizarre.

That made me chortle.

Are Oz in a hurry cos there’s bad weather on the way ?

"Just take your pillow, get back to your mark, and bowl, fluffybunny"

That's what I would have said, were I Smith.

Love the niggle

Their captain is asking if he can have more on the fence on the off side.

Uh yeah bro. No laws against it

[NTA]

Another 8 wicket win

[NTA]

Weatherald looks like a good one.

But it's only England
