England 104/6 in their 2nd innings. Leading by 144 runs
A pair for Crawley in this test
200+ will be tough to chase here in the 4th innings
England all out for 164 in their 2nd innings
205 is the target for Australia
Boland with 4 wickets in the 2nd innings
It will be a tough target for the Aussies
Head is playing a T20 innings while opening for Australia
AUS 128/1
Australia need 69 more to win
69 ball hundred by Head
Amazing knock by Travis Head. All guns blazing
This was a huge opportunity for England and you feel they’ve really let themselves down at Perth
what a knock by Head
Scott Boland 4fer - I always found him very underrated
Root is englands main batter but he’s not got going
The other batters aren’t reliable, maybe besides stokes

Zabar10 catch by Starc
Head is a different beast. So much resemblance to Gilchrist's batting arc in his gameplay.
England were over the moon after Day 1, but this is why you never rule Australia out of the game
lulz englund
englund couldn't even beat an injured australian side
Match over inside 2 days but I’m not hearing anything about how poor the pitch was
Just read this:
"With no play on days three and four, the missed ticket revenue at Perth Stadium is expected to cost CA over $3 million."
CA bosses would defo be shooting some emails and making phone calls to the teams managing the pitches now lol
At this point CA should organise coaching for England to try and make it last longer. Either that or break Head and Starc’s legs lmao
England have announced their 11 for the next match at Gabba (Pink ball test)
Will Jacks will replace the injured Mark Woods
Will Jacks will replace the injured Mark Woods
England XI: 1 Zak Crawley, 2 Ben Duckett, 3 Ollie Pope, 4 Joe Root, 5 Harry Brook, 6 Ben Stokes (capt), 7 Jamie Smith (wk), 8 Will Jacks, 9 Gus Atkinson, 10 Brydon Carse, 11 Jofra Archer
Day Night Test can also finish in 2-3 days.
England with a very long batting lineup. Jacks will be batting at 8.
Very long gap between tests, mainly due to the first one ending in 2 days.
Another 10-days gap after the 2nd test too... not sure what they do during these long breaks other than rest and chilling around.
We get done with half of our LOI season in this much time lol
Australia dropped Lyon and playing Neser. Going with 4 pace bowlers for the pink ball test
Starc on fire again... Duckett and Pope gone without scoring
Will this test also finish by tomorrow? lol
Would be devastating for such a hyped series
Would be devastating for such a hyped series
Good partnership between Root & Zak
Apart from Starc the Aussie bowling looking toothless
Twilight period a bit later would test these batsmen but think England have done well to get these many runs so far
Stokes and Root together, this is a key partnership.
Looks like Root will get his first test ton down under
