Nice win by England to wrap up the series
Yes, they look good. Nice to see local lad Rashid in among things.
Looking a fair start for England in the Ashes.
Spoke too soon. The cheat has knocked a ton👎
Yes, a glorious century in tricky conditions under immense pressure. You have to hand it to him - unless you're English that is. Let's see how our batsmen do against their attack now. It's finely balanced. Also a test for the Aussie bowlers to exploit English conditions. I see they dropped Starc and Hazelwood - a bold move.
The loss of Jimmy Anderson to injury was probably crucial as England ran out of ideas. With him likely out of the attack for the second innings and Australia now with a reasonable total on the board, it will be difficult to win from here.
Big day in the series today
Seemed a strange decision to select him when he was not 100% and was lacking match practice.Quote:

So 2-0 down with 3 to play. (Always lose at lords)
The selectors will be wishing they'd gone for Jofra Archer now. At least he is a ready made replacement for the next test.Quote:
