    Shame he couldn't go on but I'd have taken 54 from Moeen at 3!
    Root coming in at 130-2 - he’s done his job
    More than. Excellent from Mo. Two more scores in the 20's or 30's in 3 innings and he has done his job in that role.

    If we win the Ashes I'm voting Zak Crawley as SPOTY

    When luck is with you then you have to ride it. Keep going Zak.

    I think the only way for england to win is a massive score from here, quickly.

    As long as we can keep scoring at a good run rate, I would agree. If we could get a three figure lead and have most of tomorrow at them, I think we’re in a very strong position.

    Would back us to chase anything sub 300 in a half day on day 5…

    The alternative is trying to get a lead of 50 ish tonight and have 10 overs at them. A lot will depend on how the bowling unit is feeling I suspect.

    Zak has batted better in other games, but got out to either a good ball or to one of those drives that he's got away with today.

    At risk of putting the mockers on him Roooot is looking in fine form.

    That 100 should be added on to Kent's score in their game, if they're allowed to have Lawrence back  :)

    Surprised it took them this long to bring Marsh into the attack.

    Hazlewood aside, the most Woakes-like bowler they have
