Fuck, Starc clean bowls Bairstow. 228/6.

 

[Pureblood]

Bairstow has gone, lads.  It's 228/6.  Just in case you're not capable of following the action and score yourselves.

[Captain Howdy]

It’s a shame to be so negative but it just feels like we’ve been swimming against the tide this whole series

[Pureblood]

Hazlewood to Stokes.  Dot ball. 

[Pureblood]

Hazlewood to Stokes.  The England man picks up a single with a flick to the leg side from a straight delivery, which brings Buttler on strike. 

[Captain Howdy]

Much as I dislike him Hazlewood is so dangerous, you feel like something is going to happen with every ball

[Pureblood]

Score has moved on to 229/6.  I just need to go for a piss, will probably miss a wicket.

Cummins does a lot of good work too, Hazelwood and him are handy in a bowling partnership. 

[Pureblood]

229/6. 

[Pureblood]

Cummins and Hazlewood are good bowlers. 

[Captain Howdy]

Yeah, they have a very good attack n fairness even if Lyon hasn’t really done much

[Scooby Dudek]

They are cheating cunts, in case people are unsure.

Lyon has been OK, the wickets haven't exactly been spin friendly on the whole.

230/6.  The players are taking the opportunity to consume a refreshing libation.  

[Chocoholic]

Stokes gone, caught by Smith in the slips. 243/7

[Scooby Dudek]

Perfect timing, off out for the day.

[Pureblood]

I'd say Australia are in the ascendency here.  Long way to go, though - that's the beauty of test match cricket.

You’ll be back behind the sofa with the first bouncer. 

[Captain Howdy]

What was he doing there?

Haha, yeah.  Tru dat. 

 

248/7.  Australia need three wickets, England need some runs to avoid the follow through.  

[Brownie]

Fucking hell Jofra lad wake up.

[Captain Howdy]

Another pearlier from Starc there

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Archer is renowned for being pretty good with the bat, shows the vast difference between ist class and Test cricket.

Have they mentioned what the follow on score is? I'm guessing we are still about 90-100 runs short.

Always seems to be one of them stepping up to the plate. They all seem to be on board with the rotation as well.
