    I love the way TMS commentators are going quiet and allowing the Mitchell Johnson song to come right through to the listener.

    They're actually a bit stuck for commentary....things have got slow, but we're nearly there TG!

    All done. Good partnership there with Bell and Root.

    Some series this!

    That'll give the selectors something to ponder. They got it right this time. I wonder what they'll do about replacing Anderson.....Wood?

    Yeah certainly Wood. I don't think he was completely "dropped" as he may have needed a break. He looked out of sorts towards the end of the second test and I just think he needs to strengthen up mentally and physically.

    I'd be surprised if he wasnt included. Aussies have to bounce back again, should be a cracking test, hopefully the weather doesn't play havoc.

    That's a relief. I never underestimate England's ability to have a complete batting disaster. That was quite comfortable in the end though. Nice sensible batting from Cook and Root.

    Joe Root really impresses me, he is really good at adapting his batting style to suit the requirements of the innings. He is just as comfortable scoring a fifty of 40 balls as he is of grinding out runs and doing it in 120.

    MOTM goes to Finn - 8 wickets. Well he can't be left out of the next test! Ian Bell must have been in with a shout.

    We're only three matches into a five match series, but this prediction, made more than three weeks ago, is looking remarkably accurate.

    only two things that can stop a whitewash imo, Lords or the rain.

    Singling out Lord's for an Australian win was quite reasonable, as England's record against Australia there isn't great.

    Surely Lyth is going to have to be dropped now? Even if there isn't much competition for the place Lyth is so bad so far England might as well play with 9 wickets

    Who do you go with at the top of the order then? Would you take a chance on Hales??

    Broad's taken 5 wickets for 6 runs in 19 balls. Yikes.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.
