Almost respectable in the end, the second innings was pretty decent but makes Brook giving up his wicket even more annoying. Head and Lyon probably making the crucial difference.

Archer out injured now. May as well bring the rest of them home. Very sadly the tour has been an unmitigated disaster.

Yes it has and it has unravelled very quickly. Without Wood and Archer the bowling looks totally unsuited to Australian conditions. Carse has done ok and I like Atkinson but probably not in Australia. Tongue, Potts and Fisher look like good English seamers, nothing more. The lack of a spinner is another major problem. But, the bowlers never really have had a chance with the batting fragility.

England will win the Sydney test!
