England chucking this away, again

Stupid run out and then Smith goes next ball

Run out was absolutely infuriating

Harry Brook's shot earlier was also in the category of '****ing dumb'

That is the way he plays. It's a ****ing poor shot but that is him. Frustrating because it is unnecessary and he is better than that.

Thought Crawley's dismissal was soft but again, that is him.

We shouldn't be seeing idiotic run outs with stokes and root at the crease.

Jacks, you arse! Literally just missed it the ball before with exactly the same dumb shot.

And the same way Brook got out. They just don't ****ing learn. Are they even watching??

Roooooooooooooooooooooooooooot!!!!

Brilliant innings from a brilliant player.

Plenty more work to do, though....

Unsurprisingly the Frenchies don't show cricket

Is 300 a decent score on this wicket?

300 puts us in the game. 280 is probably more realistic.

Either way, we'll certainly lose the test.

Good to see your unbridled optimism extends to cricket as well Peter

Optimism on an Ashes tour is the ultimate triumph of hope over experience.

We haven't won a test here in almost 15 years.

Another wicket, as I type

As usual, every time we get a foothold in the game we chuck it.

Although he's probably correct

I'd say only Duckett and Smth got decent deliveries. Everybody else got themselves out with poor shots to nothing deliveries.

Suggests conditions aren't too difficult and 270 odd is not enough.

Should declare now and get the Aussies in under the lights
