"Absolute scenes" as the youngsters say
Huge momentum shift in the series. Aussies will be on the floor mentally now. Good

We're in the pub having a meal, cricket on the big TV, the place went bananas when they scored the last runs.

We'd better not have to go to the Stokes Well a third time - he's amazing but he can't do it on his own.

My hands are sweating, my pulse is racing. F*ck knows how Stokes must have been feeling. Or Leach.

The cricbuzz take on it is spot on!
It was lost when England crumbled out for 67. It was lost when they had to chase down a 359-run never-done-before mountain. It was lost when Roy and Rory did nothing to strengthen the chase. It was lost when Root fell early this morning. It was lost when Stokes sold Buttler down the river. It was lost when Archer thought it to be wise to slog them around for fun. It was lost when Broad couldn't keep out a yorker. It was lost when Leach brain-exploded a single-that-wasn't. It was lost when Stokes swept himself plumb. Alas, it wasn't. It was won.

Amazing game and result. We rode our luck at the end with the missed run-out and lbw shout but deserved to get there. The most valuable single Jack Leach will ever score and it can't be easy batting in glasses when it is so hot. When you look at the game overall Australia only got where they were through one player's batting, some good bowling and poor English batting in the first innings. Everything to play for now!

Hope is what you cling onto when you're up against it. Hope is what keeps you going. Hope is what gets you over the line
