Buttler treading on his on Stumps was the icing on the cake.

How does the football chant go, three two we're going to win three two :lol:

The other chant is " we are **** and we know we are" repeat ad infinitum

I think it comes from the Chelsea fanzine!

Think you need to replace the "we" with "you" for the chant.

Somehow I don't think calling the Aussies **** is all that convincing when you are 0-2 down!

Oh dear yet another abysmal performance. And Joe Root thinks he will score a century in the series, maybe if you add several innings together. The team is a national embarrassment :whistle:

Solid start by England, Australia 84 for 3. The danger man Labuschagne gone for 1. Small glimmer of hope for England

England 31-4 at the close

51 behind with 6 wickets remaining

Root and Stokes at the crease so a faint glimmer of hope

So far I think I have only heard one session so I am determined to set the alarm for 4am tomorrow morning , hopefully Root will still be batting with a ton in the book or will it be Leach and Anderson hanging on for dear life!
