Dear oh dear. Joel Wilson is copping it... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Wilson_(umpire)"Joel used to have limited access to opticians when he was younger and is the first ever legally blind person to be appointed by the ICC..."

Roy goes down the pitch to GOAT and is beaten with flight and bowled!
I can’t believe England are 2-70?
Aus have seemed right on top.

Paine has mishandled a few balls.
Having a bad day.

+x+xThis is hardly confidence building news. Statistically, the fourth innings of a match is Lyons weakest @34.12. Why does that not surprise me. Having said that, there are some footmarks for him to bowl into.. that will help. I expect Smith to have a trundle and Head. Who hates Nine. If you are unable to stay up and watch all the days plays.. tuff as Nine will not even give us 30 min hilight package.

Yet another review as Denly given out off Lyon caught Bancroft at silly mid on.
3-80.
Honestly, the score flatters England. They’ve had many reviews go their way that we’re close but NO.
They’ve swept Lyon a bit, but GOAT looks like taking a wicket every ball.
Moreover, Siddle is bowling a very accurate line and perfect length.

Not within cooee of the pitch of the ball. Good spell by Siddle. One small criticism. He bowls same line ball after ball.. wide of the crease angling in. Like to see him mixing his line.

Not going that far DC. Can he bowl us to victory or will the quicks do it. Best Cummins has bowled in the match. Pattinson a bit too leg side.

Lyon dismisses Root caught at short leg by Bancroft.
England in big trouble.
Lyon has 6 for the game I think.

ATM with Cummins, Siddle and Patto all firing in support of GOAT, this is the best collective attack we have had for a while.

I can believe that. Why the heck is he an umpire then. There has been more howlers from him than a pack of wolves.

English focus has been winning the World Cup.
White ball and red ball cricket are quite different.
In WC, Finch and Warner starred.
So did Starc.
Cummins was mediocre in WC.
Ditto Smith.
No Siddle.
England
Roy was good at WC - struggling in Tests.
Morgan - WC star and captain, not even selected for Edgbaston.
No Anderson and Broad in WC, good bowlers in this Test.
Tests
Starc not good enough for Test selection.
Finch not selected. Warner has struggled so far.
Cummins bowling far better in this Test than in WC.
GOAT starring in this Test after not being selected for most WC games.
Wade wasn't selected for WC, but has starred in this Test.
Siddle very effective in this Test - not selected for WC.
Smith better in Tests than WC.

As captain and VC, as the most senior players they set an appalling example to less experienced players under their leadership. Paine has made some handling mistakes, despite it being a tough pitch to keep on. Plenty to criticise.

cummins straight through him!
Surprised pattinson and Siddle haven't delivered as well as they normally could
I really rate them in English conditions. Worth persisting with the same attack for mine

I am over that. They have served their sentence.. was way too harsh. Ball tampering is a minor form of cheating in my view. Smithy showed weakness.. never actually cheated. Taking money to throw games.. now that is major cheating.

Worth persisting with the same attack for mine Good day, Grazor. Great bowling Patrick! Even though bowling many slower balls in the mid 130s. Siddle has bowled superbly so far in this innings. Patto did well with the new ball too.

From the overs I’ve watched, the Poms should be all out!
What a Test!
Poms killed us for three days. Have we ever won at Edgbaston? It looks inevitable today.
