Control's absolutely gone here, proper head-off cricket. Can't let Warner get away from us!

Sloppy fielding, wasteful bowling and our strike bowler significantly down on pace.
Not a good way to take advantage of the favourable conditions.

Trouble is we are likely to do the same again, the way Woakes and Stokes have been bowling.

He bowled 8 or 9 straight off today, roots utterly clueless. Give Woakes the new nut (he prob shouldnt be in the side if he doesnt get it) and then use Archer as a strike bowler in short bursts as and when and ensure hes got some in the tank to clean up the tail

They weren't 8 or 9 straight off though, he bowled no more than 3 at a time as they kept going off for the rain.
He shouldn't have bowled as many as he has, but when Stokes and Woakes are bowling as they have today, Root doesn't have much choice. Does look quite obviously down on pace today though, which is a little worrying.

Nasser is great. Happy to laugh at himself which I don’t remember Boycott ever doing.

5fer for Archer, think we'll be seeing plenty more of these in the coming years! If we time this perfectly we'll bowl them out before the close then get to bat in glorious sunshine tomorrow morning

136-2 to 179 all out. That's an Englandesque collapse from the Aussies. If only we hadn't bowled so poorly for a while we could've had them out for close to 120.

Why didn’t people slate the bowling a little earlier 😉
Thought Archer bowled with a lot of great control and used the right line and length instead of his pace. Great spell

Hope so.... may still struggle for runs... not stuck on our top order atm.... Get through the new ball and it could be good!

Top spell that! Great piece by Holding on the third man about his front arm and head position...

Good sign that he can drop his pace, and still take wickets with movement off the pitch. Bowled especially well to left handers around the wicket.
Good effort but a new day tomorrow so need to see what conditions are like and if our top three can get some runs on the board
