Root drops one...then catches one the next ball.

[Gav]

Drop one, catch one, we'll be batting before the days out!

[jim mk2]

Either the sight lines are bad for fielders at Headingley or England are just playing poor cricket

We'll see when England bat. Will the other lot drop 4 catches too? Unlikely

[den]

Superb from Wood. Starc clean bowled

[den]

It's taken them hours to warm up

[JohnD]

Brilliant from Woods!

An hour and half to bat, can we bat through? Doubtful.

Well bowled Mark Wood - good to see him fully fit and pitching the ball up instead of banging it in short - he deserved that 5-fer. That afternoon session however involving the slogger Marsh and the dropped catches was poor cricket and hurt us - the total should have been around the 170-180 mark.

If England can make 350 - 400 we'll be in with a chance.........

Cheer up Jim FFS 😂😂😉

[oldjamfan1]

Despite the dropped catches another enthralling day’s cricket so far and still most of a session to go yet 

[den]

Now for the difficult bit.

hard pitch, bounce, swing. Ideal for our Australian friends.

We’ll win this one I think. We needed something like Wood’s introduction to freshen things up. Jimmy’s finished now.

[simongarnerisgod]

ffs out to a nothing ball,none of our top order bar root have the patience to build an innings

[JohnD]

No chance of winning any! 😂

Terrible shot from Duckett 😲

[jim mk2]

Phukett, there goes Duckett - and Crawley looks about as solid as a leaf in the wind

Carey not following the Bairstow script by taking a good catch. 

60-4 at stumps?

What did Duckett expect to happen playing that sort of shot to that ball.

Simply stupid.

[jim mk2]

Root has to get his head down and make a big hundred here. He owes it to England for his dropped catches and giving his wicket away several times in the first 2 Tests.

I don’t think anybody can argue with that Jim.
