    I'm on a call and have the cricket on mute, why was that not out?
    Baistow had made contact with the stumps before the ball was in his hands. So it was the 2nd bail coming out that was the decider and smiths bat was on ground by that point.

    Shocking from JB

    Another Bairstow mistake has cost us there.

    Surely if the wickets are "broken" you  should be out. Never mind the bails not being "in their grooves".

    I'm watching on my phone and can barely make out what's going on

    When you see 38 new comments…. Yes they must be all out now.

    FFS.

    The bail is out of the groove but still sitting on the top of the stumps… it might’ve been out after all

    Bairstow fucked up again.

    Having said that the side on angle showed the middle stump leaning backwards before Smith was in his ground. Which means that the bails are out the grooves and should have been out.

    Aussies slowing the game down knowing there is rain around for the next 3 days. 

    Another draw looming.

    Since 2013, Australia have won seven Test matches in England. In six of those seven Tests, Steve Smith has scored 100 or more.

    Hoping Smith runs out of partners quickly as he looks very set now.

    Thank fuck for that.

    Smith skies one and Bairstow grabs it running backwards

    239-8 - trail by 44.

    "Difficult catch" my arse!

    If he doesn't catch that he should give up the gloves for good.

    Smith had a bizarre over there. First to go aerial over extra cover and then trying another aggressive shot over the leg side a couple of balls later. Got it horribly wrong and the edge balloons high in the sky.

    He was on for 100+ if his partners had hung around long enough, which Cummins definitely looked like doing at least

    Not been watching - has Moeen been fielding ?
    Will he be allowed to bat at 3 ?

    Looks like it’s going to be a straight 1 innings shootout

    No he's not fielded at all.
