Root and Bairstow have both got 100s. When they did you blamed Stokes for us losing due to poor decisions. Flip-flop, flip- flop.

Pretty unlucky not to get another wicket in that session. Bowled well and beat the bat, but the wicket is not that bad either. You can make runs on this and it won't be a day 5 wicket.
Labuschagne could have been out so many times...
Australia doing exactly what England should have been doing, spending plenty of time in the middle.
The England bowlers are asked to bowl long spells every day of the series, because they can't bat any length of time. It's just easier to bat when the bowlers aren't getting any rest.
They need to seriously reconsider the way they are batting, because it's impossible to keep bowling at your best with no rest.

This should be the end of the bazzball experiment in this form of cricket at least. this isnt t20 where you can just mess about and get results, this is cricket for serious operators and Aus are showing us how it is done.
An utter humiliation of an Ashes series.

Going to need someone to step up here and grab a couple of wickets because this game is slipping away.
The experiment isn't over but it needs quite a bit of refinement, and they need to accept they are not valuing their wickets enough. You can't win tests if you never bat a full day and leave your bowlers knackered. They can't say this is how we play, because it won't win test matches.
The batting has been abysmal bar the opening day of the series. No one has put their hand up and said I'm going to bat here for 4 or 5 hours.
I think the preparation was not good enough, and I think there was a bit of complacency too for some reason. You need to put in a lot of hard work to compete in the ashes, you just can't throw the bat.
Foakes...
Bairstow wouldn't catch covid while eating a rat in Beijing
Absolutely dreadful Bairstow, criminal that he's even playing this test.
Aussies are just better in all rhe big moments. Another chance goes down. Proper everton this
