After losing two wickets for just 12 runs yesterday, now England's collection is 92 runs. England have not lost any wickets. As long as Root and Malan are at the crease, I will have confidence in England. If the pair break up before 150 runs, then England will not be able to collect 400 runs. Today is the third day. Most likely this match is more likely to be a draw.

This session clearly belongs to England.
Both Root and Malan need to bat 1.5 more session to pull their team out of this mess. Wicket is not doing much atm so they are good to go for now at least but if by any chance Australia gets a breakthrough, their tail would be up and Aussie bowlers will lick their chops with shaky english middle order.

Still trailing by 309 runs. Both Root and Malan are out and this match is slowly slipping away from the English side. Not much batting left in the side now considering the previous performance of the English batters. As soon as you start feeling that the English side is back in the game the Australian bowlers will reverse that feel.

England's players are not back in the form. They maintain their weak performance as usual. I did not understand why suddenly the England team's degeneration. All players lost the form together. There is no regular performance in the team without root. However, if Australia gives more than 420 targets, they will also win the second Test match. The match is in the control of Australia.

England finished their first innings with 236 runs. After Malan and Root's partnership broke, no other player was able to form a pair. With such a performance, at least it is not possible to win against a team like Australia. England will lose this match as usual. Australia is now leading by 277 runs. Today is the third day of the game.Australia will play a maximum of two sessions tomorrow.

Looks like Malan and Root are the only decent batsmen in the England team currently since the rest continue performing like crap. Stokes isn't able to convert good starts into big scores. Starc and Lyon bowled really well in this innings.

Boring Ashes tournament so far. Australia are systematically decimating England in every match and it looks like they might whitewash them at this rate.

Australia leading by close to 300 runs at this point, with 10 wickets to spare. It is going to be 2-0. I agree that this series have been boring so far. Two days remain and it looks almost certain that England is going to lose by a big margin. As usual, England is overdependent on Joe Root. This time Malan gave him some support, but the other batsmen looked out of sorts. Rory Burns is almost becoming meme material nowadays, after repeated failures. Ollie Pope and
Jos Buttler are not doing any better either.

Whitewash is very much expected if England continues to play like that. Australia once again proved that they are too strong at home. England are too much dependent on ben stokes and this happens when your key player fails. Aus.are 277 runs ahead and still 10 wickets in hand.

England will surely going to face defeat in second test as well. There batting n bowling line up totally collapsed in this Ashes so far. Malan n Root are the only one who scored some runs, when you are chasing 473 then top order needs to perform. Nothing going in England favour.

At least in Ashes the both are not clicking that's why England should try some other combination. I think with same mind set England dropped both of them in first Test and that proved to be a disaster because of there flop batting lineup. Anderson is already 39 years, I dont think he can go for 5 to 6 more years from here on.

Anderson may not be the perfect guy, but he has done well enough to guarantee a spot within the playing XI. Honestly I was shocked when he was dropped from the playing XI for the first test. He always maintains very good fitness levels and therefore I think that if he want, then he can go for another 5 years quite easily. And look at the younger generation bowlers like Woakes, Wood, Robinson, Mahmood and Archer. None of them are consistent. Unless they perform consistently, I guess the selectors should show adequate respect towards Anderson.

With his performance and quality I have no doubt that he can play some more years, he is really super fit athlete at the moment and having some very good courage for this game of cricket. But, sadly his team position is not good due to very poor selection in batting line-up and having no better and quality back up bowlers those can give some good replacement on the crucial time of game.

In last few years they are facing serious batting issue which is not resolved with strange circumstance's, and they have few very unprofessional batsmen in their current batting line-up which are creating problems for them just like Burns who is completely failure in this series with many meme's and joke having fit on him around the cricket world.

Why do they need to replace Broad and Anderson? Anderson in particular can go on for another 5-6 years at least and can easily target 1,000 test wickets. Just because someone is young, that doesn't mean that they should replace more skilled players. In case of Woakes however, I think that the selectors need to rethink. Mark Wood maybe a better choice? I would still support going with 4 pacers, because Jack Leach looked out of sorts during the first test. Anyway, they have a part-time spin bowler in Joe Root.

I do agree that woakes is just an over rated players. His performance in 2019 WC is the only remarkable I remember. England most of times in Ashes is down and out, as far as this test is concerned I am sure Aus will easily win it. England should look for some new talent that can replace Jimmy/Broad pair.

Problem is not with bowling side because combo of Anderson and Broad doing very good for last one decade, but they have not good supportive bowlers with worst batting which is creating more problems for them recently we have watched them against India and now in Australia just Root is having consistency and Malan and Stokes giving some support, but all others are just waste of energy and time because they have no talent which is question mark on their domestic system which is one of best but now no producing quality batsmen.

In Australia, we have too many options available for them like Warner, Labuschagne, Smith and Head these all are quality and have good performance in every match.

Lol this is funny stat. All these 4D chess tactics and strategy of saving Broad-Jimmy for pink ball test, their team ended up bowling 150 overs in the first inning and i should add that Aussie declared the inning, not bowled out.

Chris Woakes should play at home only, if not then let him open lol. He would do better job than Burns at the top order. Their batting averages are almost same.

I don't understand why England's players suddenly lost their form so badly. Australia scored 473 runs. England went down to bat but lost two wickets. Hameed and Burns returned to the dressing room with 6 and 4 runs respectively. We don't want to see such poor performance from an experienced team opener like England. Test matches between Australia and England have always been competitive. But the series is completely dominating Australia. Hopefully England will be able to get back to form quickly and the match will be competitive.

Bhai this is not suddenly they are not quality players just Root and Stokes are some better all others are just useless in test cricket it's now time for England management to change their tactics and bring some better shape in county cricket for having quality cricketers otherwise they are also going down like West Indies because In England now they have some good number of Asian players those are doing better, but they are not bringing them due to some own reasons and local English peoples losing their interest into cricket which is also the biggest threat for them.

Today I was checking in Social Media too many memes and jokes about their batting specially Burns is currently main culprit for this all, hopefully we will have some better changes after lose of these Ashes.

England played very well in T20 World Cup. So I thought maybe now the England team has been able to solve their internal problems. But now looking at their performance, it seems that they have become more weak than before. Such a poor performance cannot be expected from the England team. Players need to be experienced and patient while performing in Test matches. The openers have to play well. When two openers get out so fast, the other players go after more pressure.

Obviously it is a coincidence, but there are a lot of similarity between these two ashes series. That was also the second test of the series and the venue is same as well. Maybe the history is going to repeat in the same way too. Australia got a 4-0 victory in 2017. England is performing so badly now. Probably Australia will win the second test as well as the upcoming matches of this series.
