Was said he had a back issue and wouldnt bowl in the first innings.

Stokes counter attack comes to an end... lead down to 26

Rollicking play.

Stokes is a breed apart.

Duckett's wicket will haunt my nightmares for eternity. A ball rising up to near shoulder height, miles wide of the stumps, and he tries to back foot drive it into the offside infront of square by opening his stance slightly. I mean, what was the objective there? Even in the unlikely event he somehow middled the ball and got a good contact on it, you are hitting into 3 defensive fielders.

Can blame drop catches, but its the manufactured strokes with low percentage yields that are killing us.

Calypso cricket.

Well, a token lead for the Aussies. I guess they are going to feel a little vulnerable, with England's knack for chasing totals. But Aussies still ahead at half time.

Broad gets Warner. Even Wee Davie must be seeing the humour in this by now.

Two for Mo. Didn't see that coming. Smith and Labuschagne too.

Congrats to him on his 200th Test wicket.

Wood missed out on Labuschagne a bit earlier with a Bairstow drop.

No he has a couple at the end. No joy though. Tight game, but Aussies slightly ahead. Given there have been only two stands above 50 in the game.

Stokes isn't fit. And Pope is out. Could be looking for a captain.
