Only if Bancroft's hands were as big as his head. #Ashes

Every team needs a 'Barmy Army' for them in stands. :D #Ashes

Supporters of four-day Tests: can we play you every week? #Ashes

I am not sure what England need to survive this the #Ashes, I know I need a therapist and a cardiologist to get through.

Kuch bhi bolo, giving wickets to Lyon hurts more. Lot more when the other bowlers in the opposition are Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood.

Australia bowling Stoneman from round the wicket since the start. He has 35 off 48, safe to say it ain't working ?

Classic Australian ploy of giving England a sniff before beating them to the ground. English cricketers get mentally wrecked when they lose after getting a sniff. #Ashes

Are there seriously people out there who don’t rate James Anderson? What the hell is wrong with you people? #ashes

All well and good bowling Aussie out for 138, but your chances to score 354 runs?? Two night sessions?? #Grim

I could be wrong, but I think Australia's 138 is the all-time highest Test total in which all 11 batsmen scored 20 or less #Ashes

Smith could have enforced follow-on but with the bowlers as fragile as he got with 3 more tests to go it was not worth risking.

One of these days hope Australia loses a Test match where they thought not enforcing the follow-on was a good idea. Pakistan nearly did it in Brisbane last year... Unfortunately, don't think England really stand a chance here. #Ashes

if Handscomb keeps fiddling and meddling with his technique like this, he'll end up like Steve Smith.#Ashes
— Greg Baum (@GregBaum) December 5, 2017

Handscomb's technique is half Gary Ballance, half Steve Smith. If he's not your favourite batsman in the world then I just don't know what you want from this sport.

Good of Smith to not enforce the follow-on and allow an Anderson five-fer. That should put an end to all that bullying talk. #Ashes

James Anderson easily the worst bowler ever to take 514 Test wickets at 27 imo.
