This far into the game and that decision seems rather odd. Maybe they know something we do not.

ENG 169/3

Day 1: Tea Break

If I’m not mistaken, Australia have now won 4 of the 5 coin tosses this ashes.

Cummins ... no ball.

Pat Cummins to Sam Curran, no ball, wicket off a no-ball!

ENG 186/5

 

[Creag]

So it ends on 271/8 in 82 overs ... a miserable 12.3 overs per hour

 

[Whright]

Potato potatoe. He was captain and aware and participating de facto.

He is a cheater.

He is also the best batsman of our generation.

Agree, as long as he makes sure that it’s only his cricket bat that makes “contact” with the ball.

There is not a lot more to be said about Warner. He will probably do anything to get ahead. Breaking the rules are fair game provided that you do not get caught.

England 294/10

Marsh with a 5/46 wraps things up.

 

[Creag]

How many balls Warner survives Broad before getting out = 3

...and he gets out at the other end. Dreadful, dreadful series!!!

Jofra Archer to Warner, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

"Why have they stopped using hotspot as part of DRS?" It's not mandatory and the broadcasters opt not to pay for it

yet another low score for Warner - his eighth single-digit score in nine innings.

This is a record, I think any bowler will do better than that.


Jofra Archer to Marcus Harris, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

AUS 14/2

Probably worried about Cook's book.

What is happening to the world, Steve Smith has just failed to make a century, although he was very close and has still saved Aus from a low total once again.
