The pace of Wood has got the Aussie's tail scared. They're pretty much giving their wickets away here.
i vote we declare without facing a ball and go at the scared cricket ruiners again.
i reckon boland is still trying to hit the ball before each time.
Imagine where they’d be if they hadn’t dropped marsh on 12!!
Root owes us a ton.
bairstow owes us lara’s record.
In a session!
not happy with destroying the spirit of cricket at lords, they’ve now decided to play their accountant as spinner. when does it end?
I'm not even going to what Bairstow owes us but Head only made 30 odd after he was dropped.
Wood in this spell - 2.4-1-5-4 
Superb from wood. Great comeback from england there. Got themselves right back into the ashes
You were saying?
I’ve never been happier to be wrong
What a difference Wood and Woakes have made.
Wood gets his 5. Excellent turn around from England after Marsh
Superb from Wood. Thought Woakes was class also.
I'll add a bit of doom though. This will be a really tough 25 overs for England, it's doing a bit.
I'd take 90-3. Hope for 100-2.

Australia have lost 6 for 23. That's an England level collapse.
Fiver for Woods, brilliant bowling.
First 4 wickets went for 85
Last 6 went for 23.
On the one hand, if you said we'd be bowling the Aussies out for 263, you'd have taken that.
On the other hand, it should have been all out for about 150!

England with a high innings now can put massive daylight between the teams.
They've collapsed more often than we have.
Starc is going to be an absolute menace here.
We’d have walked the first two tests with Woods playing, huge shame he’s missed out
I’m just about to fly now, be interesting to see what the score is when I land. I except it’ll either be a lot of runs or a lot of wickets, nothing in the middle for England
This is Ducketts worst nightmare. Quick, bouncy pitch with it swinging. Hope his form holds. He'll need some luck.
Good bowling from England and a hell of a collapse from Australia
honestly, I respect Crawley's mentality. There isn't a fan who doesn't criticize his selection, but every game he comes out his stroke play is superb whether he is getting 10 or 50
Just appears a hugely naturally talented guy prone to some head loss moments/stupid decisions.
I think it was his debut series v SA where England needed to do some declaration batting, and he made just 14, but he just came down the ground and pulled a swinging short ball, it was so impressive I thought he'd be a great player
I think it's the same thing that makes Mccullum and Stokes give him so many chances
He's the world's most in form looking out of form player
And gone
Yes had no faith at all. His technique is completely flawed on quick decks.
Feck. That was not good.
Decent catch too
This is a Scott Boland pitch
That was a fantastic catch. The behind the wk angle shows how good it was.
Nice to get the opening partnership out early so our actual innings can start.
Feck sake.
Infuriating
Oh dear oh dear
Good bowling. Not sure anyone bar England thought Brook at 3 made sense.
The trick is to put your money on Australia in the windows when England are briefly on top…
