That was a bit odd. It was the 4th day tho? Super close test and England rode their luck and some of their runs came from batsmen who would ordinarily have scratched around for 2 or 3. Toss of a coin really, but it keeps the series alive. One of the best Ashes series I can remember.

The curious English relationship with blind hope continues. After all the distractions of this series it’s quite obvious that Australia are the better team. They’re batting, bowling and fielding better & are good value for 2-0. Stokes going mental on one leg with the tail is hardly a reliable team ethic on which to build…

I need Bairstow to do a Carey during this test, England to go nuts celebrating but then decline the wicket citing The Spirit of Cricket. That would be amusing.
