    I love a bit of grace in victory in the morning. Or I would.

    Grace, eh. He wouldn't have got a look in against Starc and Boland.

    Nice one!
    On the other hand, perhaps W.G. would have been amazing.

    What was class though was the way several England players shook Head's hand when he got out. That innings changed the game.

    It was good to see.
    Who knows what happens next?

    Rooooooooooooooooot!

    Great innings, especially with all sorts going on at the other end. Can't imagine many more will be added tomorrow, but you never know...

    I love it when the crowd shout that. First of all I wonder why they are booing and then I realise.

    I said (to myself) that if Aus got a 130 run first innings lead, England are done for. With a couple of wickets in hand, it's (as I post) 131. Soz, poms. 🏏 🇦🇺 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

    OK, Starc has gone, just gives him more time to rest before he destroys the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 opening order.

    In theory you don’t know how the pitch might break and presumably want to be prepared for all eventualities.

    And once they are there anyway it’s a case of giving your pace bowlers a break.

    What I mean is - wouldn't it have been a good idea to bowl Jacks more? It's not like the seamers were less expensive - they were more expensive!

    At that point it probably became a case of 'but the ground isn't turning and if we overbowl him he'll be too tired to bat well and that's why we picked him'. The powers of going into a match with a somewhat vacilitating plan.

    There are only three things England need to improve. Their batting, their bowling and their fielding...
