England winning last 2 matches will keep bazball alive and that's all I want.

Brook is true bazball agent. Doesn't change his approach no matter how badly he fails. Others are pretenders.

Pretty sure he will bowl quicker as spell goes on.

England need to bazball now, nothing to loose as well so no pressure

England needs to restrict Australia under 250 and they have decent chance to chase around 330 to 350 here.

In tests, it's 24, all format 23 from what i have read. You can find it out on cricinfo too i guess. Edit: These are his test stats h2h. Cummins not only gets him early more often than not, but keeps it tight, strike rate of 32 tells us story.

Pat Cummins has got Joe Root 12 times in test cricket, 15 times overall in international cricket, at an average of 23. For the form root has been in for the last couple of years, he has to score big against him going forward.

Starc bowling 147kph in his 9th over at this age.

England back into game. Good for series.

Gautam inspired by kl rahul?

Mark Wood & Hazlewood out of the ashes. They are frequently injured these days, and considering both are around 35-36, they may also retire.

We won twice in Australia our way. Sure, bazball is entertaining when it works, but what have they won against top teams home & away? Bazball had to evolve with time, and they haven't done it yet. You have to respect the conditions and situations of the game, but most of their batsman play in the same fashion all the time.

I have seen other keepers do it for few overs but carey did it for really long in this test match.

Archer vs Smith battle, I think Archer was at his best in the 2019 Ashes series. Root overbowled him. Now his pace is back, but the impact isn't the same.

Stokes in the bazball era is a guy who always takes his time (and still fails badly more often than not) but expects his teammates to play attacking cricket from ball one.

And smith said to him too "bowl faster when there is nothing going on champion"

Why archer is trying so hard? He had to do it in first innings, or he is doing cause he knows this is only spell he has to bowl for a match?

Smith catch turned the game, that partnership looked really good for england.

That's done by indian broadcaster and yes it looks bad

Smith wow what a catch that

150 looks quite possible and declare with 20-25 overs left today in the last session, you get Australia 5 down today and a good chance to win. Under lights with a new ball, i can see a collapse for Australia and pitch has started to deteriorate. But i am not sure if england bowlers are fit enough to run through australia as well.

England can draw this test match because of weather tomorrow, do they have any chance to win it?

Dumb shots by green and smith, momentum with england now

England might get wicket with this tactics but they might fall behind quickly too
