Timber!!!!!! 5fer for Mark Wood

Bye Bye Andu 

 

Woakes should have gotten fifer. Very unlucky. Two simple drops.

[rollingstoned]

Wood shows the value of express pace in blowing away the tail. 

Andu can rue what might have been under clouds here. 

[Kothili]

Macdonald needs to get fired. 

[vvvslaxman]

Last time he took a fifer was for Lucknow super giants. Then he went missing.

They were playing Andu instead of these 2 lol

Atleast they dropped him for the 3rd test we would have continued... Eggsperience >>>

And Warner needs to go. Too much rope given.

[vvvslaxman]

Head an unconvincing 39. Marsh was the only one that looked in control. Rest meekly folded

[nitinbwj]

From 240-5 to 263 a.o. This is like a BCCI team level collapse. 

 

Aus Total - Mitch Marsh = 145

There is no way even Bangladesh will take Anderson at this age lol

The pitch looks as green as the outfield.  I would be surprised if Aussie bowlers struggle on this surface.

Still a fast scoring ground. Every single bowler in England could move the ball. That is not exactly the forte of Austarlian bowlers. They don't even swing like Shardul Thakur. They hit the deck and seam away. Cummins has to have an incredible rhythm

[vvvslaxman]

If England has this bowling attack they can play bazball. Not the attack they had in the first 2 tests. 3 or 4 80 mph trundlers.

Imagine Duckula batting on this pitch and facing the likes of M Wood.  Would hv taken blows after blows everywhere before eventually landing up in the hospital.

Pujara is okay to take blows on to his body as he knows ball will miss stumps. But when you bowl full and fast he is going to be exposed

[Lone Wolf]

This was easily the fastest spell ever bowled in England surpassing Brett Lee...  May goodness  it was thunderbolts one after another.  Never seen something like this tbh.  WTF was that PACE

Hahaha hahaha...  Indian pans would be cursing him though..  Their beloved saint Gujara battered by a Englishman.  Meltdown would have been epic

[Kothili]

Peter Dinklage now.

[Kothili]

Come on now Cummins.
