What is Woakes doing?

Yeah Foakes must be fuming
Taking silly risks which isn't helpful
Bairstow has to go
Squeaky bum time. Why do England team do this?
What’s the win percentage now??
Foakes not being a ginger has cost him
Yeah needed to go strawberry blonde
Boland generating some decent pace. Up around 90.
think England win this
Yep, good chance we would have been 2-1 up by now.
Yeah England should win from here on. Good innings by Brooks
Think Boland is The first fast bowler I’ve seen that looks good in Australia but shit in England.
England have got this in the bag. Two set batsman and Starc is knackered. No other threatening bowlers.
Don't do that
No we didn't
Woakes looks jittery as feck to anything short.
50 runs with 4 wickets remaining.
Only one score above 250 has been made on this wicket. I can see us missing out by 20 runs

This sweet sweet luck. Loving it
Watch rain stop this and have to come back tomorrow.
Feel more confident now. Australia have let Woakes get going and cut into the deficit while Brooks still is standing firm.
Bairstow reminds you of that slightly chubby mate who everyone really likes, but who’s a bit rubbish, so you just stick him in as keeper so he can play.
Think the rain is due at 5ish. I can’t see us losing less wickets than four in two hours.
He was in the form of his life before his injury, easily England's best batter. The wicket keeping may be adding pressure on him.
Hopefully the ECB change the rules that allows Tawanda Muyeye to play the next test, like they done to allow Archer to play for England early. Then him and Foakes for Robbo and Bairstow, then bat Crawley at 3.
The worst idea ive ever heard.
Australia have let this drift away from them too easily
Nothing has drifted away yet
Which means they'll get a wicket shortly
I know Bairstow will desperately want to keep the gloves, but for his own sake I'd take them off or him or drop him completely. He's obviously not in the right mindset to perform at his best in this series now, given how numerous and public his mistakes have been. I wanted to give him more chances, but would definitely bring in Foakes now.
Rangnick into the attack.
Cummings left it far too late to bring on the off spinner, poor captaincy
Double Nelson
“Shit Harry Potter” 
How is Hogwarts overstepping from 2 yards run up.
Who are you going to drop as Stokes can't bowl and bowling Root for extended periods will impact his back?
Well Bairstow I think. In the last test I wondered about either keeping Ali out or dropping Brook. But with what we’ve seen since then I’d just do a straight swap.
Just when you think it might be...
Shambles of a high five that.
Urghhh
