What a catch! Incredible by Jack's and it's crucial wicket of Smith.

Christ, Hatch as bad at cricket commentary as cycling. At least he hasn't got foreign language to ridiculously over pronounce.
He's clearly floundering on the technical side as well.

He's fine, he's not there for the technical side that's what Cook, Finn, Ebony etc. are there for.

But he's rubbish and irritating.

Lowest score of the Aussie top 5 is 33 whereas England had two ducks, that what could end up being critical and seems like a regular story.

5 down now.

Although I feel like this is the point where we lose the plot and the Aussies dig in.

Having the presence of mind to somehow keep the ball off the ground when landing too.

Stokes has been a bit unlucky, three have carried to the slip cordon but all found gaps. I suppose you could argue he needs to rethink his field position as they all seem to have gone through where 3rd slip would be.

Not sure why they're bowling so much short stuff to Inglis when pitching the ball up seems to be creating the best chances. He doesn't seem to be struggling with it at all.

Stokes bowls him a full length delivery and gets the wicket. Who'd have thought?

Yeah agreed. A stat just up that only 20 balls so far would have hit wicket. Finn said that was because playing at Gabba but it seems obvious a few more on target might bring dividends.

Certainly more chance than slow bouncers going over the head. I've lost count of the number called wide.

England suffering from dropsy

You don't get many easier than that, it went straight to him at chest height.

The old cliché of catches win matches is definitely true
