100 runs from the top 3 on this pitch isn't great to be honest. No matter how quickly they come.
England should be disappointed with anything under 440 first up here.

Is there any more annoying phrase than “BazBall”?
Annoying just before lunch. On this pitch we need at least one batter going really big. You know it’s what the Australians will do.
Turns it into a solid session for Australia. If Crawley is going to be a long-term success he has to go on and make big scores when he gets in with conditions like this.
The thought of Labuschagne and Smith on this is already nauseating
Forward defence and shouts of ‘no run’ for 3 days
Happy now?
it was expected. crawley in a nutshell:
0.5% get a century
45% get in, look good, and get out.
54.4% get out early

Yeah typical we can't fully make hay isn't it,that's the trouble with this England side you know there is a mistake in them. Unfortunately we aren't able to say the same about those two
These two at the crease are key now. Never know what you’re getting with stokes and Bairstows been out for ages.
Still something there for the bowlers if hitting the right lengths but can see Smith, Labuchange or Head making a score here.
No, it’s really bad. I hope the Aussies fully barrack it for all they’re worth
Is this game big in other cricketing nations like India, Pakistan, New Zealand and South Africa?
What’s a good score from here then? 400+?
I'd like 700.
All in one’s?
That would be lovely. I mean I wouldn't watch but I would have a great time looking at the scorecard.
England need above 450 I reckon on this pitch
England still probably 30 runs behind par for 3 wickets. If these two can stay together until tea we should be well ahead of things.
Oh. My. God.
Jammy Aussie twats.
You'd really be hoping these two can reach at least 250/4 ... ideally 300.

Would you believe it
That is so harsh on him
Freak dismissal
Always get luck when they need it,would never bloody happen for us at all
That’s totally on the batsman. It’s his job to protect the stumps.
The guy survived an absolute sitter literally 5 mins before.
Yeah why didn't he show awareness
That was crazy
Back to the Joe Root carry job gameplan then.
Fecks sake, collapse incoming.
This is embarrassing on a pitch like this. Get the rain dances ready.
Bairstow to bazball us to 4hundy
Next hour is key, need to keep these two in and have one / both of them hit a huge score.
Piss poor decision making from Stokes
Dumb-ball, rather than Bazball... Just lost a wicket and you throw your bat at a wide one like that?
There's playing an aggressive/attacking style, but not when you're all out under 300 on here... Need biggies from these two.

Yeah one day mentality again
His batting has seemed to have taken a nose dive since becoming captain, his natural game was aggressive enough but he has tried to turn it up to 100 and hasn't worked.
Joe root is different gravy.
