That was one of the best innings I have witnessed. Serious concentration early on and his bat looked like it was missing a middle! He battled so hard and then took the responsibility with the tail with some glorious hitting.
I thought Bairstow's knock made a huge difference to the game. Came out with positive intent and put the pressure back onto the bowlers by trying to hit the ball and run hard. Their line during that partnership was poor and it allowed Stokes time to find some rhythm.
After running Buttler out, I thought his head might go but absolutely not. If anything, it fired him up.
Sensational stuff, can't wait for the next test!

So Aussies I know are having a proper whinge at the LBW that wasn’t given late in the game

One thing I have noticed in this series is the Aussies have gone back to their ridiculously excessive appealing, almost justice that Stokes was given not out, aside from the fact that they wasted a review on a bullshit call.

There's a video knocking round social media of the TMS commentary box with Aggers, Cook and Glenn McGrath commentating. McGrath genuinely looked like he was going to vomit after Leach scampered the single.
Glorious.

Joel Wilson seems to have had more decisions reversed on review than any umpire since Shakir Rama.
Will he be standing in any more tests this series?

A very pleasant 10 minutes spent with a coffee, cake and Aggers wind up. Thanks for sharing.

What has Woakes done to deserve this? He has been steady enough with the bat and ball this summer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/49566327Has he been struggling with an injury or similar?

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

I think Woakes has been a bit under the admittedly pretty high standards he plays at these days - isn't this just more a horses for courses type thing, as happens a bit more often with bowlers

Added roughing up for Smith?
