Rollercoaster of emotions today.

Woke up early and was incredibly concerned at the start, then absolutely ecstatic with Root's batting and in love with the batting from Archer. Took me by surprise, after I'd completely resigned myself to the continuation of an expected batting collapse!

How wrong I was. Fair play to England, they ended superbly today.

You can’t give them chances Jamie Smith, great delivery by Archer.

Aussies now playing real Test Cricket! On the way to a big lead I imagine.

We have had good moments but compared to them we are amateurs.

No dabbling at balls outside the off stump while the feet are stuck to the turf.

Aussies are always only a wicket away from a collapse too, plenty of life left in this game yet, but it’s not looking great at the moment

That dropped catch from Smith as opposed to the ripper of a catch from Labuschagne sums up the difference between the 2 teams. The Aussies are ruthless.
