Australia can smell blood now….

All goes back to Root dropping Marsh on 12 in the Aussies first innings

This target is very gettable on this surface. They just haven't shown composure.

 

[Tommy Chong]

4! A few more of those Woaky lad...

England dragging defeat from the jaws of victory here

England should still win this tbf

70 is loads to get 6 down.

Australia favourites

Not sure treating woakes like a tailender is a good plan for Australia.

Offering him singles and tempting him into shots he can play.

He is batting like a tailender the way he is backing to leg

If it was a T20 or even an ODI I would say yes.

But a test match is a whole different kettle of fish. 70 runs is still a lifetime away.

One of these two needs to get the bulk of them

 

[NathDogg]

Same issue all series - playing poor shots at every delivery. Just leave some or defend for gods sake.

We can’t play proper test match cricket anymore.

England are pretty big favourites with the bookies still, which baffles me.

 

[RomanReigns]

all on brook now really

 

[maccavennie]

Don't be wafting at them Woakes.

Possibly a lot of money came in at very short prices on England and those people are holding firm as there’s very little else they can do
