Batting looks to be easy now.

They've racked up about 25 runs in the last 15 minutes!

Oz's odds are drifting...
Draw 1.38, Oz 3.15, England 40.00.

The sledge that made Bairstow and Stokes see red

It wasn't me... :shock:


"A fuming Bairstow then returned fire at his abuser." :shock:

Must've touched a raw nerve...


When you're paid as much as pro cricketers are, it's not good enough letting yourself be in that shape. Bairstow, Smith, and others rock up obese... It's so unprofessional. They can afford to hire personal trainers, dietitians, etc. Why don't they?

Harris caught behind off Leach for 27. God knows what he was thinking. Awful ball, disgusting shot. He’d been looking very good until that.

And to emphasise how strange Harris’ end was, the TV shows that Leach’s average bowling to right handers is a creditable 25 but 65 against left handers.

In that little cameo leading into Lunch, Smith brought up his 3000th Test run against England.
