England have blown this since they were 60-1. They look a ragged rabble.
All the momentum now with Australia.

That ball to Marnus was the first one that looks to have done much all innings.
I was thinking the pitch had settled down - as per Atkinson and Carse doing well out there - but, maybe there's still a bit out there.
Will the English media claim the moral victory?
England need to get one of these two quickly.
House of cards later with the likes of Usman, but Bus Change looks like he's finally remembered what the purpose is of the bat in his hands.
Stokes being treated like the Tim Southee paced bowler that he is when he bowls a half tracker.

Travis Head must have a game of golf booked for tomorrow
A master class in aggressive, but controlled batting.
Travis Head on course for the second-fastest ever Century in Ashes history. 92 off 62 balls.
That perennial reminder that you never give an Australian cricket team even a hint of a second chance.
Travis Head 100* (69).

They used to say exactly that about the All Blacks.
Sigh!

Only 53 runs needed for the win. Australia look intent on seeing this out inside two days.
23 overs left. They could damn well do it.
I thought they’d conserve wickets and cruise, turns out they’re Bazballing more than the original Bazballers !
