This is ridiculous the amount of wickets Australia are gifting England. They should have had the ashes done and dusted, and they keep imploding.

Just the cheat to go and we're in amongst the tail proper!

England have dropped a dozen catches and missed 2 easy stumpings. Those fine margins have seen them take a 2-0 lead.

Unbelievable how England keep getting these wickets with average bowling.

Although the Aussie batting has been so poor.

Australia's day. Batted all day which is good, nearly at the 300 I predicted. Lost a couple's more wickets than they should have. But surely they will bat big in the 2nd Innings of this probably shortened Test. So I reckon Ashes is done now.

Awful batting from Australia. Poor bowling getting wickets to poor shots.

A beaut delivery from Woakes. Pomms back dominating the Aussies, just like through history !

Funny how Austtralia have won the Ashes more times than England. You obviously don't know a lot about cricket Devonshire.

Everyone assumes England are going to cruise past Australia score with swashbuckling cricket. They are a poor Test match batting side, and are filled up with one day batters. Sometimes it comes off, but most time it doesn't.

Would not be surprised if Australia don't bowl England out for 200 or less, giving them a sizable lead.

This is total joke cricket. What an awful shot.

Test cricket on its knees.

Australia have been awful so far.

Anderson will now be back to the best bowler in the world.

Not many about this morning.

Must all be watching that awful women's football.

Poor batting from Australia. Should easily have scored another 100. But still good enough for a decent lead.

Is there anything more annoying than hearing fifer. It's five wickets, and that is how it should be addressed. Not the nonsense of a fifer.

England are not a good side. But they are a lucky side.

Moen won't last long.

Who takes a trumpet to cricket? There are some serious oddballs out there.

As I said England are so lucky. Crawley got away with it big time.

Your not telling me Crawley is a Test batsman. He is awful.

As I said England are the luckiest team in world cricket. Poor batsmen.

Ali is such a lucky player.

Australia could easily have had four wickets already.

Australia's session. Restricted England, and another two hours out of the game and still lead by 250. Even if Englsnd get close to Australia by stumps, never going to be able to force a win with just probably a day left.

Australia win the Ashes sometime over the weekend.

300 runs and 200 wickets for Moeen Ali

The flukiest 50 you will ever see.

How lucky has this Crawley innings been? Average player that has made the most of his luck.
