England bowling very short as far as i can see. Also i think they lacked a bit of energy early

I'd like to see both teams bat on this before making a judgement but looks like the pitch is two paced and has a bit of swing and seem particularly with the old ball but you have to be brave enough to pitch it up

I reckon a par score is 300-350 so I think englands negative bowling has got them in trouble but you never know until both teams have batted on the same surface

Khawaja has failed to deliver and must be close to being dropped



Usman is a real worry. His Test reputation to date has been forged on Aussie pitches. He was probably our third ranked batter outside Smith and Warner before this series.
