Utter collapse this morning - disgusting, it's like they think job been done again. Its the beginning of day 3, dig in, hang around, build a lead, dont get out .... but no
Think we have possibly blown it with that collapse this morning.
150 plus lead would have been what we needed.
150 plus for the Aussies and we could be in big trouble.
Any whiff of England winning this is long gone. I expect this to end in a tame draw....... unless England do what England are good at........ collapse.
Well to bat all day has already been done in this match - but to repeat that monumental feat would be nothing short of miraculous. The way some of the wickets were lost in the 1st innings was rather poor - for example Moeen offering no shot and absolutely no foot work [he is way better than that]. Sadly it seems the forecasted showery morning may not materialise. I think the mentality should be , treat it as day one of a 5 day test and just drop anchor and be happy with a goal of batting for way over a days overs. Burns & Roy dug in and they need to continue that mentality, this is attritional cricket, not white ball.If we bat all day we will be there or thereabouts.
