Ha! Sad but true.
Full credit to Archer, but that hit on Smith’s neck was sickening. I can’t believe his arm wasn’t broken, or at least fractured.
But only 2 possible results left, either AUS chase a total of 150 and win, or a total over that and there’s a draw.
All three. Australia’s woeful batting lineup can be knocked over for sub 150, no trouble. Especially now Smith is scared of Archer.
Smith’s likely absence from the Headingley test throws it wide open…in theory anyway.
Declaration with a lead of 266. Surely the pitch is too flat to bowl them out, even without Smith.
This batting lineup is flimsy, it’s absolutely doable under pressure. Some assistance for Leach too.
Oh well :) At least England didn’t roll over and die after the first test drubbing.
Jofra picks up where he left off.
So did the weather.
Marnus Labuschagne got hit in the noggin when he came in to replace Steve Smith in the second test and while he’ll be happy with his sixty runs so far today, he’s take a full one from Stuart Broad… slightly lower.
I hope box technology is as good as the helmet’s they’re wearing.
Jofra Archer, fine bowler and premium piss boiler. Wonderful stuff.
Another 140 runs on that score would be a good total.
The standard of batting in this series is embarrassing.
Both teams have great bowlers. Not many getting out to dumb shots (other than Stokes just then lol)
3 of England’s wickets today were dumb shots.
Yeah Denly you dumbass
Joffra’s going to be King by the end of the week.
That’s wonderful.
Solid Chris Tavare impression from Stokes this evening.
