Theat is disappointing. Hoped won't cost us too much .. Shame the Aussies reached 200 - puts more pressure on us now .
If I was Lyon I would want to play for a different team, it looks like someone has sandpapered his head
99 Runs and only lose 1 WKT that was great If we can only lose 1 more wkt before the end of play would put us in the box seat
Well done Rory Burns, a patient and controlled innings. He's proved me wrong, I doubted he could play test cricket
Ok so we lost 2 WKTS from Tea to the close but this partnership is worth 74 .If we can get 120-150 lead then that would almost force the Aussies to bat for 2 days
Seems like bad luck for England that...The replacement ball really started swinging.. But a good day for England and should be able to post a tidy lead tomorrow
