Brilliant delivery to Brook to be fair.

The only bit of poor batting came from Crawley. Everything else so far is down to quality bowling.

Root shouldn't be half playing a short ball like that. 

You have to play a leave. Mean it. Yet again we've got caught doing sod all with the bat and the indecision has cost us.

The boy wonder Brook’s was very badly advised going to the IPL international captains & world class bowlers took 3/4 games to work him out and we see a kid with confidence & game in tatters!!!..

Simply put we're going to lose this Ashes series. And we've no one to blame but the pig headed arrogance and stupidity of McCullum and Stokes. Australia haven't won these two Tests, we've thrown them away and beat ourselves. Unacceptable. Embarrassing. Disgraceful.

Why can't they just indicate that they are not sure? It used to be the norm.

That’s a catch for me. In hands, if it touches afterwards no different to chucking it in the air.

If you're still moving, you're not in control. Thems the rules.

If you're not sure it's not out. Simple as that.

Not so simple. Let the umpires decide.
