Well, this is something English batsman have to learn sooner or later. If there is an opening, Starc & Cummins will use it to full extent.

Overton is gone. 9 down .... this is officially a collapse! 367/4 to 393/9 => 5 wickets for 32 runs!

Six from Broad! Got it right in the middle of the bat. Nice shot. Both the tailenders are dancing in the crease and trying to whack every single ball. Interesting tactics from Broad & Anderson.

They managed to see off the first 25 overs of the new ball and then precede to give their wickets away when they should be cashing in; it would be frustrating had I not seen it multiple times before from this England team.

Can’t realky blame Malan 140 to his name and looking to be positive, Ali just looks as much of a walking wicket of not more so than Cook at the moment and we know our tail has no chance realky against the pace of Aussie quicks espically not on the bounciest track in world cricket.
Bowl well and we have a chance of getting into a winning position

6/35....let's oz back in the game , starc bowled crap for the most part and still got 4for.....he just gets wickets !

Bairstows gloves might be blue kippax,  but with that colour scheme remind me more of ss dhoni 7 /mrf kholis /bas players . If they are kippax the blue should be lighter to differentiate  ( maybe they will be if a sponsorship eventuates ) , otherwise just go the stoneman reds .

Pathetic effort from England losing those 6 wickets so cheaply

What the management were thinking batting Bairstow below Ali 'because he's good with the tail' I don't know, he's just having a slog and getting bowled as soon as we're into the tail at the moment. Disappointing from the lower order who can all hold a bat except Jimmy.

Decent chance from 403 at least, more Overton wickets please.

Poor miss from Root in the slips.... Looks like he was thinking about which pub they were going to after the match

Hmmm, we look a bit harmless when the wicket flattens out or batters get in. Doesn't seem to be much threat here.

Some of our bowling this series leaves a little to be desired:

Woakes - 6 wkts @ 44.33
Broad -   5 wkts @ 41.80
Ali -        2 wkts @ 106.5

Broad in particular worries me. as a strike bowler he seems rather blunted - I wonder if he has lost 'it'?

This just reverts back to the first test. English bowlers are neither pitching up nor the nasty bouncers. Smith & Khawaja are having an easy time at the crease right now.

Overton has walked away rubbing his rib cage. If he is not going to come back to bowl then it is going to be a long two days for England!
