No Anderson and Ali seemingly having lost all confidence. Smith's one false shot bisected two fielders.
We need a bit of luck quite soon or we'll be batted or this. |  |

Aussies big favourites now. Chasing more than 150 is going to be tricky and more than 220 unlikely. Maybe Root needs to have a whirl are Head if Ali is not going to manage a breakthrough. |  | | |

Laxatives injected into Smith's lunch is the only way we are getting out of this one. To say he is a fine batsman is a ridiculous understatement. We are badly missing Anderson and why has Woakes only bowled 6 overs? Ali has served up some utter tripe and Stokes is finding getting his line difficult. |  |

We've been poor this morning, too many loose deliveries and very little threat. I think it's in the bag for the Aussies now. |  |

We’ve been poor.
Need something to happen soon otherwise we’re well out of this. |  |

That missed stumping from Bairstow is going to be crucial. | |

I heard that wicket from the bathroom. As happy as I was, I was hoping it was Smith I was seeing taking the long walk back. | |

I can only think Woakes must have an injury of some kind to not bowl? It’s the strangest decision of all considering how much we’ve struggled to make a breakthrough. |  |

Smith is basically impossible for our team to get out - they literally have no idea how to get him out. He's just playing them too well.
Fingers crossed that's jinxed him.

Seems a bit odd, yeah, also Ali surely ought to be bowling with a left-hander on? Unless Ali imporves, looks like Jack Leach back in for the next game. |  | | |

Pointed out on TMS that he's weakest against left-arm spin, in terms of his career stats. Although weakest is obviously a relative term. | | | |

Exactly, weak for him is bloody brilliant for everyone else:
"Don Bradman holds the record for the most runs in a Test series, with 974 in the 1930 Ashes.
Steve Smith has 241 runs before lunch on day four of this Ashes."

Need Archer in to offer a bit of pace.
This is what I feared with our attack when we named the 11 on Wednesday, when it goes flat (much like when we play away in Australia) Woakes, Anderson, Broad and Stokes are all too similar. We need someone who can bowl 3-4 overs of sort 95mph to unsettle the batsmen.
We also need a proper spinner. Ali is hopelessly out of form and should be dropped for rest of the summer. |  | | |

Time to drop Ali and bring in Jack Leach. Also, I'm inclined to drop Bairstow for Ben Foakes for the next test match. Archer or Stone for Anderson? | |
