I agree 100%.

I missed the wicket on the way to the fridge for another cold one, but didn't he leave it before it decimated his stumps?

How many times do our batsmen do this?

standing on 6th stump

Bairstow - pathetic

67 for 3 when I take a break from baby sitting our new arrival...a duck that hatched last night. More enjoyable than watching the cricket!

If England fail again the that's me finished with watching them for the summer.

I'm listening to this while at work... have another two hours of my shift left.

Wondering if it'll be all over by the time I finish.

So far only Pope has an excuse, the other three are just giving their wickets away. They have over 2 days and have all the time in the world to let boult and Jameson knacker themselves out.

Ahem.

playing a T20 shot on the 6th ball of Jameson's 6th over after taking 6 on the over as Capt, wtf does he think he's doing

as bad as Eng have been in the last 4 years, imagine if we didn't have Root. Still, this should have been easier if Stokes hadn't decided to go T20.

62 to get in 15 overs before the new ball and 4 rabbits to follow

I think I shall go to the pub to watch it.

So it's a 1/2 pint then?

^Quit the shit stirring you, England will be hungary enough to really want this win.

Ye of little faith.

You'd be a bit fucked off if you had bought a ticket for today, wouldn't you?

Mind you, you'll be in the pub for 1 (make that 11 if we lose Root).

What is going on?!??!?!?

Michael Atherton has just described it as "plain sailing so far."

When will the real England turn up?

be great for root to get a ton and his 10,000 runs on his birthday and see Eng home.

There we go.

Rooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooootttttttttttttttttttt tttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!

Weirdly, he's equalled Chefs record as the joint youngst to reach 10,000 runs for Eng.

Easy! Easy! Easy! Easy! Easy!

Get a refund with balls to spare.

^ would have been great to be there, not many matches you get to see Eng win, let alone Root getting 10,000

Bring on the Aussies! Bring on India! Bring on anyone for the mighty England!

We'll do em all now the new era is underway!

Thank goodness for Root, where would England be without him.

I'm not sure I'm looking forward to the next test though...

they can't bat as badly two games in a row.............

Let's not forget a sterling performance from Foakes - a crucial knock given the circumstances.
