Got a decent ball in the first innings. Not excusing his poor run of form and its good to see Australia are bowling him back into form

[Alvaro]

Problem with Bell is he always does this. Bats well in the 2nd innings when the pressure isn't on him. Lead of 150+ before he bats. He knows he can go and bat freely with little pressure.

really, the daggers were really out. this is a really good knock under pressure.

The lead was best part of 200 before he came in. That's about a little pressure as you get in a big test match.

I agree when has England been 2 or 3 down for not many for then Bell to score big and get them out of trouble like Root has done in the past year.

Bell falls, Stokes in.
Time to tell the batsman its a T20 situation? 

[Buzz]

2 days and a session to go? erm no need. bat until lunch tomorrow.
Key is to ensure that Starc can't play at Lords and for Johnson Hazlewood to be shattered too.

long series this over a short period.

50 for Roooooooooooooooooooooooot

2 days and a session to go is why I was thinking go in for a good time.
Big lead, demoralised Aussies having to keep retrieving the ball, declare after 5 overs tomorrow just for the sake of getting them out in the field again!

Benji got lucky with the LBW shout. This is day 3 and England has a 300+ lead. Test cricket baby, love it!!!!!

400+ lead would be good for declaration. AUS have an incredibly talented side and their batters can chase down a 300+ score.

5-0 still on

[smilley792]

England making a hash of this now

[edge]

England looking supremely casual at the moment, good lead but not yet safe with so much time left in the game.

[smilley792]

Broad perishes.

Aussies could be batting again tonight at this rate!

[Johnny]

England batting is brainless and blase, as if they think they've won the game already. Plenty of time left in the game though and only needs a big partnership from the Aussie top 3-4 and it will be twitchy bum time
