If oz can make 180 ish total /lead of 400ish by half way through 2nd session I'd be feeling very confident .

Don't worry yourself manno it causes grey hairs  :)

Be interested to see what is behind Matt priors comments regarding sledging, as he says normally it does not bother top pro's

There some bad blood between the teams and clearly England are upset with something , normally the England players don't moan about it at all

It will all come out in the wash I expect

Hope Malan is dropped ASAP.
A sitting duck with his technique should not be near anywhere near an international side.

He’s basically looked clueless every innings so far and prior to this test series.

Can neither attack nor defend.

Warner has lost his effortless ability to hit boundaries even from defensive shots ever since the new bat regulations is a food for thought ;)

Anything over 350 is going to be a big ask.

Im sure I sprouted a few greys watching all those lbw reviews last night...

So whats prior had to say? I thought he'd already spoken about Goats "scared eyes" comment.

Anderson and Broad are keeping the line pretty tight. They are not giving Warner a chance to take off. DW is scoring more freely against Woakes & Ali.

Good to see some fight though and a bit of control. Shows what can be done when Smith goes cheaply

350 is almost certainly too much but hopefully the bowlers learn a few lessons from this innings.

For all the talk of the bowlers though, it's the batsmen that have let England down in this series. Too many people getting starts and throwing it away, they need to watch what Smith and Marsh did by grinding out the runs rather than trying to be 'aggressive' or any of that rubbish.

If nothing else they’ve continued to put pressure on the likes of Laine, Handscomb, Khawaja and Bancroft. Now they just need to keep it up.

Does the Woakes wicket above move a lot? The batsman (marsh?) missed it by a mile and looks like he’s been done a little for pace as well? Oh how I wish at least the ashes were free to air  :(
