You're right, but good jinx
Wow that was a bit soft
I was ready to take Moeen off so shows what I know
It felt a lot slower for long periods….might slow down again now
Big wicket
Same here.
Wow
Australia have lost their Head.
If only we had foakes behind the stumps
Bairstow needs to do better there
Getting rid of Head has slowed Australia right down now and pressure will build.
Cameron Green is a behemoth of a man and he comes in to dead bat everything
Yeah that mistake is so unnecessary
Yeah he took a more difficult one earlier to get rid of Labuschagne but drops easy one
Aussies have done well to stabilise after losing Smith/Labuschagne
Think they'll end up with something similar to our score, maybe a bit more.

My god what a beauty from Ali
Both teams taking wickets when the other seems to be getting on top of things
That’s a beauty
Wow, that turned big!
That got me dead hard
Absolutely. It’s been fascinating cricket.
Lyons will be huge for Australia in the next innings. Obviously expensive but he’ll take wickets with turn like that.
Over celebrated initially thinking it was Khawaja before his century (listening rather than watching)
Good job no one on here is in the selection committee 
Ali wouldn't have been out there.

Lot to like about Khawaja

I would have picked him but only due to an absence of alternative options
He's on fire out there,
But yeah you are right, with Leach injured England didn't really have many alternatives.
Yeah, we are going to miss Jack Leach in their second innings with how dry this pitch is.
Looked like another drop there…
Bairstow is not good enough to keep the wicket to spinners. Doesn't have the technique. He's fine with pacers due to having that extra second to adjust.
No ball
that is potentially 2 huge moments
Let-off.
That's just stupid. He's had enough warnings today.
Yep. Cummins v the new ball and a long tail. Horrible five minutes for us
Shouldn't be bowling no balls
Alex Carey reminds me of Matt Prior in temperament while batting.
Just turns up, makes 40-60 regardless of how tough the conditions are. Bit of a clutch player

Would seriously move Stokes/Pope to open and bring Foakes in to keep
It’s all gone very flat after that.
Australia ahead now for me
That no ball was a total gut punch. Momentum going away from England now, need 1 or 2 tonight to get back on top.
