It's The Ashes (again)

Smith thinks he’s never out, what you have to remember is that he gets reprieved no matter what he does. He just likes to be the centre of attention.

Can envisage you foaming at the mouth with every word you type. It really is quite hilarious.

Glad you find it funny, wish I could say the same.

Shocking drop from Bairstow on the Head flick down the leg side. A Test keeper of any standard should really be taking those.

Hopefully doesn't cost us too much. Very good morning session for England.

Any score above 250 from here and the Aussies will have been let off. Cloudy and a pacy pitch.

England's fielders with crisp packet hands

Catching has been abysmal all series

[SuperBob2002]

I know we're on top but England's catching, again, has been piss poor. Why has it been so bad? These aren't difficult chances for top players.

[wba13]

As the saying goes catches win matches and throughout this series we’ve been abysmal. Very few can be absolved of blame.

Listening on Five Live extra while working. Is there a more annoying accent than the Aussie accent. So whiney and nasal. Possibly the Souty African accent marginally worse.
