England fielded like a team possessed and stopped a lot of runs . Some of the captaincy was imaginative and inspired, drying smiths runs for ages at a time . But smith found a way . I think thats tge best innings ive ever seen from him .
Broad bowling cutters and varying pace was very intelligent bowling . Anderson was very good too . Woakes was poor but got better towards the end . Ball looked very poor indeed . If hes going to bowl like that then root may as well bowl more overs and get another bat in at 6 .
What about cummins huh ? Very good disipline and concentration .
I though 350 was par for 1st innings and eng really robbed themselves of the opportunity to reach 400. Australia though , we needed a lead of at least 50 to say we're in the lead as batting last will be tough . I'd say eng still have a slight edge , but it would be negated if australia get more than 1 wicket this evening.
