I'm an Aussie. Crawley has looked your best batter since he smashed the first ball of the series for 4. Hoping he would not catch fire but did yesterday. Tough position for the Aussies to win. Hope tomorrow is another day of surprises and Oz works their way back in, but England well on top at end of day 2.

[@mattd2275]

I agree. Credit to Stokes and Mcullum for keeping him in the team despite calls to drop him. Amazing knock from him today. Australia seem to be playing for the draw which is not like you at all. Carey protecting Stark from the strike yesterday is evidence of this and was very strange imo. I didn’t understand that at all. Cummins has not been the same since the Bairstow incident as well imo. Micheal Vaughn mentioned this today as well. Stokes really doesn’t care about losing and I’m intrigued how Australia are going to deal with the constant pressure you are going to get in the next couple of days. If it goes to 2-2 it’s all over for you imo. What a great series this is.

What a knock by Crawly👏👏

What a day for England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👏🏻

[@daredemontriple6]

When I checked my phone on my way home from work, I thought there had been some sort of glitch. England were 205 for 2! I got home and put it on the tele and was amazed to find Crawley still at his post, slogging the Aussies for whichever boundary he felt like. Then I watched him and root put another hundred runs in. An absolutely sensational first innings to lift the spirits and a glimmer of hope for the ashes dream. Let's just hope that rain stay away long enough...

Joe root stunned by Hazlewoods unplayable delivery .

[@zafarhussain4848]

Hazelwood delivery kept very low go and watch the replay. It was not an unplayable delivery if it kept it's normal bounce Root would have played it without a doubt. Not Root deserved,but good signs for team England if the pitch stats behaving badly with uneven bounce,esp if they have a 150 to 200 run lead. Big trouble for team Australia.

[@mmmyeah7]

He was stunned because it was a grubber that never bounced it wasn't a great delivery just the pitch did him here and it's good signs for England get a decent lead and the pitch starts playing like this.

[@mudassir__07]

@@zafarhussain4848 it didn't bounce. Root wasn't expecting that much low because it was pitched there from where normal dilveries just end up as a shot ball or bouncer . It was unplayable due that very situation .

Watching this highlight is a nice way of catching up with what we missed yesterday! Thanks a lot all concerned with this one!!

Their will be great treat to watch final test if this will win by ENG 🔥

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

The weather is going to spoil this test. I believe Saturday will be a washout so England will need to score quickly tomorrow and put Aussies back in at tea or maybe earlier, they may get some play on Sunday though.

[@TheDiamond2009]

@Eleventhearlofmars Middle of the afternoon session, I’d say, around 2.30pm. And then pray for something special.

[@sagnikbhattacharya666]

@@Eleventhearlofmars why bro why..England has to win this test otherwise those Aussies will retain The Ashes🙁

[@TheDiamond2009]

@sagnikbhattacharya666 The weather forecast in Manchester is poor for Saturday and Sunday.

[@TheDiamond2009]

@sagnikbhattacharya666 But they have to get a decent lead to have any hope. Maybe another 180 to take the lead to 240?

Promoting Moin Ali to no.3 spot is the trump card England played well. It's gonna haunt many teams in future. Moin Ali one of the most underrated all rounder of world cricket. Great respect for him from Syria 🇸🇾

Unpopular opinion and only people who understand cricket would maybe agree that its over now for Anderson he was never a bowler who used to be difficult to play without conditions in his favor and now he's not performing in England in overcast conditions as well a legend of the game
