fair play archer. The flip side being it’s obviously not impossible to bat on. So outside Root and Crawley, the top order haven’t done us any favours

Old ball helped. If the over rate was anything near what it should have been Archer would have had a new pink cherry flying at him.

If’s, buts, maybes. He was batting against a ball only 10 overs older than the one that took the last 5 wickets and the same one that took the previous 3.

And conversely if they’d bowled the 15+ overs the should have done we might all out long before!

Rubbish by smith you can’t be dropping those.
Archer aside England have bowled some dross so far.

Yep. That first Duckett one was tough, but he's got to catch the second one (that dropped infront of him). After his duck yesterday, not a great start for him.

You'd imagine the Aussies will slap another 100+ runs on their total putting them the best part of 200 runs ahead. They've had solid figures throughout their top order where as we'v struggled. All shaping up towards a comfortable Aussie win, unfortunately.
