got to admire Root, taking a hammering from Johnson both with mouth and ball, but just producing a big smile in return

What a stupid appeal. You could see with the naked eye from a mile away it was in all day.

All of a sudden it's game on. These two aren't folding like Cook did.

Picture this at stumps. Root 150*. KP 150*. And they're favourites to win. This game is not over ladies and gentlemen. Until we get two of KP/Root/Bell this game is not over.

Uh oh. KP goes from the 30s to 50s in one over. He is starting to get his swagger back. Danger signs. We need to get him soon or he could cause a lot of trouble.

It's situations like this where we would fold in the past and let in a draw, lets see if things really have changed.

You're geniused, BM.

If you seriously think England have even a 0.1% chance of winning this match then you have issues.

These two are showing some fight, about f**king time from an England perspective as the only two to do so have been Bell and Monty. But still, no way can we win this.

Two more wickets for Australia and it's all over. From Stokes onwards Johnson will have our batsmen needing to change their undies.

Goodness this pitch is honestly a disgrace. What a snoozer. If England had shown any courage in the first dig it would be heading towards a bore draw.

I agree with this. Like I said we need to get two of KP/Root/Bell. But that is not a certainty. Englands absolute rubbish batting till now does not mean they can't turn it around. They are due some runs.

If you have lost 0 or 1 wicket by stumps it is anyones game IMO.

Root and KP are Test batsmen. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that they can last to the end of the day.
