23rd over: England 107-3 (Root 11, Brook 4) <\/strong>Root steers Doggett through the slips for four, a deliberate, well-controlled stroke, and times a cut for two more. Doggett responds with an excellent delivery that keeps a bit low, beats Root and only just misses the off stump.<\/p>\n

If England can get a lead of 200 \u2013 I know, I know \u2013 they will fancy their chances of a pitch that looks increasingly uneven. Right now, with England still 70 runs behind, Australia hold every single ace.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn a positive note,\u201d writes Stef, \u201cat least this game lasted longer than the first Test. After that? I hear the weather\u2019s nice over there!\u201d<\/p>\n

And Swans have just released a great new pop song. It\u2019s the sound of summer!<\/p>\n

22nd over: England 101-3 (Root 5, Brook 4) <\/strong>Goodness me. Brook\u2019s first ball seams back dramatically to hit the pad and is smartly taken by Carey. At first I thought it had bowled him; in fact Australia were appealing unsuccessfully, for caught behind.<\/p>\n

Brook gets off the mark with a boundary to fine leg.<\/p>\n

We anticipated a gazillion scenarios ahead of this Ashes series. <\/strong>Michael Neser putting Australia 2-0 up via the medium of caught-and-bowleds wasn\u2019t on the list \u2013 but he has taken two in quick succession to put the Aussies in complete control. Crawley scuffed an ill-conceived drive back towards Neser, who reached to his right to take a brilliant two-handed catch.<\/p>\n

21st over: England 95-2 (Crawley 42, Root 5) <\/strong>A maiden from Doggett to Root. Pressure\u2019s building.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wonder if Ollie Pope is not well served by Bazball,\u201d writes Jonathan Wood. \u201cHe just doesn\u2019t seem suited to it, and has lost his way. When he was just playing for Surrey, he reminded me of Ian Bell; and now he reminds me of the Ian Bell who struggled in the England team like little boy lost. Bell eventually found confidence in his ability to do things his way, and became the best English batsman for a couple of years. Maybe Pope needs to find his own way too.<\/p>\n

\u201cMcCullum is all for players expressing themselves in their own way. If this is Pope\u2019s way, he\u2019s preparing like Spud prepared for job interviews.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our imaginary legal department would like to point out this is a metaphorical comparison, and that Pope doesn\u2019t enjoy a little dab o\u2019 speed before he goes out to bat. You might be right, though I still think the biggest problem is that he\u2019s just not a No3. When he batted down the order in New Zealand last year he counter-attacked beautifully, and though he still took risks he seemed to manage them a lot better. I would also argue he\u2019d lost his way before Bazball; remember that horror trot in 2021.<\/p>\n

20th over: England 95-2 (Crawley 42, Root 5) <\/strong>Carey is up to the stumps for both players with Neser bowling. An accurate over from him, just one from it.<\/p>\n

Crawley has gone down the gears: 39 from his first 41 balls, 3 from the last 16.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

19th over: England 94-2 (Crawley 42, Root 4) <\/strong>We haven\u2019t seen a pitch map but it feels like Australia are bowling straighter and fuller than England. That\u2019s partly because the pitch is more worn so there\u2019s a greater chance of uneven bounce; it\u2019s also a better approach at the Gabba full stop, especially the length.<\/p>\n

Root has started calmly, as if continuing his first innings rather than starting afresh, and pulls Doggett\u2019s last ball round the corner to keep the stirke.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

\u201cPope shouldn\u2019t have been facing that ball,\u201d <\/strong>says Phil Harrison. \u201cThe last ball of the previous over should have been given as four. Yes, these grapes are rather sour since you ask…\u201d<\/p>\n

Fire up the Ultra-Processed Beef Maker!<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

18th over: England 93-2 (Crawley 42, Root 3) <\/strong>Alex Carey comes straight up to the stumps to ensure Joe Root can\u2019t bat outside his crease against Neser. If Australia get Root tonight they will be in a great position to go 2-0 up; England aren\u2019t coming back from that, certainly not to win the series.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi Rob,\u201d says Patrick O\u2019Brien. \u201cCurrently enjoying that under appreciated Swans B-side: \u2018This is the least threatening Australian bowling attack in living memory and England should stop arguing about philosophical names for their approach and just get on with winning this Test because they\u2019re clearly good enough to do so.\u2019 <\/em>Clocked in at a breezy – for them – 7:54, if I recall correctly.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s 7hrs 54mins, right?<\/p>\n

That was Pope\u2019s eighth innings against Australia in the Bazball era.<\/strong> Five have ended between 26 and 46, and he still hasn\u2019t reached fifty. He\u2019s no Magnus Magnusson.<\/p>\n

WICKET! England 90-2 (Pope ct and b Neser 26)<\/h2>\n

We need to talk about Ollie. Another skittish cameo from Pope comes to an end when he punches a drive straight back at the new bowler Michael Neser, who leaps to take a smart two-handed catch. Pope goes for 26 from 32 balls.<\/p>\n

17th over: England 90-1 (Crawley 42, Pope 26) <\/strong>I thought Starc was into his work but he\u2019s been replaced by Doggett. Perhaps he\u2019ll change ends, or maybe he\u2019s being saved for the arrival of Joe Root.<\/p>\n

Pope hits two streaky boundaries \u2013 a drive that just clears cover and a flashing edge over the slips \u2013 before clipping three through square leg. Boland did really well to save the boundary.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to distract your audience from the unique experience which is watching Ollie Pope start an innings, but I feel duty bound to point out that the West Indies fourth innings in Christchurch is a joy for scorecard fans,\u201d writes Rob Knap. \u201cKemar Roach\u2019s 233-ball 58 is a personal highlight.\u201d<\/p>\n

16th over: England 78-1 (Crawley 42, Pope 15) <\/strong><\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

15th over: England 77-1 (Crawley 41, Pope 15) <\/strong>After an iffy first spell, Starc is getting into his work now. Pope is suckered into chasing a very wide ball that zips past the edge. England\u2019s batters are magnetised towards that delivery.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoes Ollie Pope has a spider in his undercrackers?\u201d says Paul Turp. \u201cHe\u2019s absolutely manic.\u201d<\/p>\n

I heard it was a marmot. But it may have gone now because he has looked calmer in the last 5-10 minutes. Calmer than you are.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

14th over: England 76-1 (Crawley 40, Pope 15)<\/strong> Pope drives Boland sweetly through mid-off for four. That\u2019s a beautiful stroke, his best yet, and he is starting to look a little calmer. His heart rate may even have dropped below 150.<\/p>\n

\u201cThing is,\u201d says James Kettle, \u201cBazball removes the old idea that the primary motive in Test match strategy is the desperate avoidance of defeat. And I liked those stakes, and thought they were worth setting aside five days at a time to follow! No shade on those that like the new stuff but it does feel like a different format and the tragedy is you can\u2019t have both.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a good point \u2013 although it was kind of dying anyway. Since the glorious rearguard in New Zealand in 2012-13, when Monty Panesar swam to safety, England have only once batted for more than 70 overs to save a game in the fourth innings. That was at Sydney on the last Ashes tour.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

13th over: England 71-1 (Crawley 39, Pope 11) <\/strong>Pope plays a more controlled stroke, push-driving Starc for three to move into double figures. Crawley borrows the cat-on-a-hot-tin-roof baton from Pope, eding a very loose drive over the slips for four. Careful now.<\/p>\n

Another exhilarating over ends with Pope digging out a gorgeous curving yorker from Starc. Well played.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuge thanks for your recognition of the presumably quite small but very real Venn diagram of cricket fans\/Swans fans,\u201d writes Xav from Cardiff. \u201cProof that there\u2019s at least two of every type of person.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just a great pop song!<\/p>\n

12th over: England 63-1 (Crawley 34, Pope 8) <\/strong>Boland\u2019s first poor delivery is dealt with efficiently by Pope, who flicks it to fine leg for four. He\u2019s getting some unpleasant bounce, though, and twice hits Pope high on the bat during that over.<\/p>\n

England, rightly or wrongly, won\u2019t accept being a punchbag for Boland. Crawley proves that point with a gorgeous drive through mid-on \u2013 then fresh-airs a wild slap well wide of off stump. Compelling stuff.<\/p>\n

\u201cInspired by your invocation of the mathematical Starc formula,\u201d begins Brian Withington, \u201cI am pleased to announce a comparison of first innings scores that has England way ahead of the opposition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe measure is of course standard deviation, the cognoscenti\u2019s only true arbiter of an innings, and the England batters have utterly dominated with an SD of 40.9 to Australia\u2019s rather shabby 23.0 \u2013 obviously I use N=11 rather than 10 in the divisor of the sum of squares about the mean, and will fight anyone who argues otherwise (although it does produce an even higher figure).<\/p>\n

\u201cEngland\u2019s magnificent distribution reflects Joe Root\u2019s 138* outlier alongside four ducks, whereas the conformist Australian batters were all confined to double figures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Does that make England\u2019s first innings at Trinidad in 1986 an unqualified triumph?<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

11th over: England 52-1 (Crawley 30, Pope 1) <\/strong>Oh, hi Starc! Yep, Mitchell is back to replace Doggett, a good move given the change in mood of both the match and the pink ball. Crawley suddenly looks nervous, wide-eyed, and is a bit fortunate when a thick inside-edge flies away for a couple of runs.<\/p>\n

No real swing in that over from Starc, but he was very accurate and Crawley had to defend, I think, four of the six deliveries.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s funny\/ironic that the anti-Bazball folk often seem guilty of the same flaws that they accuse the Bazzers of having,\u201d writes Alanis Morr- Niall Mullen. \u201cA one-eyed refusal to believe that things could be done a different way vs a one-eyed view that things must only be done a different way. Who is going to care for all those babies getting thrown out with the bath water?\u201d<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

10th over: England 50-1 (Crawley 28, Pope 1) <\/strong>They said it changes when the sun goes down around here. That\u2019s exactly what\u2019s happening, with Boland and Doggett making the ball nibble just enough to threaten both edges of the bat.<\/p>\n

A beauty from Boland nips back to hit Crawley on the pad and deflect through to Carey. Australia go up for everything, just in case there\u2019s an inside edge, but it missed the bat and was too high for the LBW. Even so, these are excellent signs for Australia.<\/p>\n

Boland has a better LBW shout<\/strong> against Pope turned down later in the over. Outside the line, I reckon, but it was close and Pope\u2019s beans are going like a pinball machine.<\/p>\n

This is outstanding, aggressive (in the sense of making the batters play) bowling from Doggett and Boland. England were 45 for 0 from six overs at tea; since the break they\u2019re 5 for 1 from four.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

9th over: England 49-1 (Crawley 27, Pope 1) <\/strong>Another leading edge from Pope falls safely on the off side. After a strikingly serene performance at Perth, he\u2019s like a cat on a hot tin roof again. <\/strong>An accurate, make’-em-play maiden from Doggett, who has started superbly.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike most people I do wish sometimes England would in key moments bat a little more carefully,\u201d says Steve Hudson. \u201cBut the howls of hostility from many England fans towards the aggressive approach under McCullum is very depressing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has its faults but Bazball has given us so many wonderful moments, and wonderful victories. Do they forget the absolute state of our team at the point Stokes was made captain? Here\u2019s hoping Crawley scores a ton here batting left handed, just to bloody show them.\u201d<\/p>\n

They\u2019re the most life-affirming England team I\u2019ve watched, in any sport. But I understand the opprobrium because I\u2019m fairly sure my 30-year-old self would have been howling with hostility. This team often make me think of a great quote in Christian Ryan\u2019s wonderful book about Kim Hughes: \u201cI have most admired him,\u201d said Des Hoare, his captain at Subiaco, \u201cbecause he had the courage and the ability not to become ordinary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

8th over: England 49-1 (Crawley 27, Pope 1) <\/strong>Ollie Pope, on a pair, almost goes first ball when a hard-handed leading edge drops just short of Boland in his follow-through. He gets off the mark next ball.<\/p>\n

That ball to Duckett definitely kept low, grotesquely so in fact, so Australia will be targeting the stumps from now on.<\/p>\n

WICKET! England 48-1 (Duckett b Boland 15)<\/h2>\n

Scott Boland has struck in his first over! Duckett played a defensive stroke into the ground and was mortified to see, or rather hear, the ball bounce under his bat and onto the stumps. It must have kept a bit low.<\/p>\n

Duckett\u2019s poor series continues: he has 64 runs in four innings.<\/p>\n

7th over: England 46-0 (Crawley 26, Duckett 14) <\/strong>Brendan Doggett replaces Mitchell Starc and makes a superb start. He beats both batters (Duckett\u2019s was a half-leave) and has an LBW appeal turned down when Crawley pushes around a nipbacker. Too high but beautifully bowled.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnglish fatalism is my favourite meal, Rob,\u201d says Eamonn Maloney, \u201cbut it\u2019s a little early to declare Bazball Fawlty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tea\/Dinner: England trail by 132 runs<\/h2>\n

6th over: England 45-0 (Crawley 26, Duckett 13) <\/strong>Too straight from Neser to Crawley, who puts him away through midwicket for three. Duckett mistimes a push at Neser that teases mid-off before bouncing short and scuttling under the fielder for three more.<\/p>\n

Thus ends a good mini-session for England, who have shaved off a quarter of the deficit in only six overs. Zak Crawley played some brilliant strokes en route to 26 from 23 balls; Ben Duckett was busy but less fluent and was dropped by Michael Neser.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgree – McCullum will resign if we lose this series heavily,\u201d says Joshua Keeling (see 4th over). \u201cBut you know what, there\u2019s always a chance. This Test isn\u2019t over, and there are three more after this. Now, if Crawley could just for once leave the bloody ball on the rise outside off stump, it would really help my blood pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n

If England save this Test, a Brobdingnagian \u2018if\u2019 despite this fine start, they will be on par with the 2010-11 team: draw in Brisbane, defeat at Perth. They\u2019re coming home!<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

5th over: England 39-0 (Crawley 23, Duckett 10) <\/strong>Crawley drives two majestic boundaries off Starc, the first through mid-off and the second through extra cover. This pitch is one flat mother.<\/p>\n

Crawley, full of fizz after those two boundaries, tries for a third and is beaten. It was clever bowling from Starc, who pulled his length back in the assumption\/knowledge that Crawley would want to go for the drive again.<\/p>\n

A fine over for England though, 13 from it. Starc has figures of 3-0-25-0.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Duckett dropped by Neser!<\/h2>\n

4th over: England 26-0 (Crawley 12, Duckett 10) <\/strong>Duckett haddocks the ball straight back at Neser, who puts down a seriously tough chance above his left shoulder. Careful now, Benjamin.<\/p>\n

The next ball curves down the leg side for four byes. Not sure why it wasn\u2019t called wide, and we\u2019ll surely reflect on that when this match ends in a tie on the final day. Duckett hits his first boundary to end the over.<\/p>\n

\u201cBazball has been brilliant to watch over the last few years,\u201d writes Joshua Keeling. \u201cIt has revitalised Test cricket in this country, and been incredibly entertaining. But the stated aim has always been to build towards winning an Ashes series. And if they lose this series heavily, Bazball will have failed on its own terms.<\/p>\n

\u201dAll that said, come on England\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

If England are hammered here, do you think they will move the goalposts and begin Project 2027 Ashes? Normally that\u2019s what would happen but I\u2019m not sure Key, Stokes and McCullum will be able to lie to themselves and each other. Certainly not all three.<\/p>\n

3rd over: England 18-0 (Crawley 12, Duckett 6) <\/strong>Thanks to Lee Henderson for directing us to the weather forecast for the last two days of this game: small chance of thunderstorms, 0.001 per cent chance of an apocalypse.<\/p>\n

Starc beats Duckett with a beautiful outswinger, just full of a good length. Duckett clips confidently for three, then Crawley fizzes a clip to the square leg boundary. Give or take, the first three overs have gone perfectly for England.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s clear after four and a half days of the series that Emperor Baz has no new clothing,\u201d says Darryl Accone. \u201cThe Baz haute couture, \u2018We trust in the process\u2019, has been exposed for the sham and hauteur that it is. Baz sold Robert Key an empty wardrobe and the sooner England cricket divests itself of all three the better.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond process, Baz has selected a squad of batters who, with one exception, can\u2019t or don\u2019t bat; of bowlers who can\u2019t keep line and length and are knackered after managing only 73 overs in a day; of a wickie who might flash the odd quick 20 or 30 but can\u2019t catch. It\u2019s genius, Baznosis, perhaps the most egregious act of mass hypnosis ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting (and suspecting!) public.<\/p>\n

\u201cBaznosis, Bazball: when it\u2019s all over perhaps another urn, with the ashes of burnt Baz artefacts like that baseball cap, will be in order.\u201d<\/p>\n

Politely, meekly but firmly, I could not disagree more. This isn\u2019t the time for that discussion, though. If the series plays out as most expect, there will be plenty of time for a Baztopsy. And for dreamers like me to defend a team that has just been plugged 4-0.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

2nd over: England 9-0 (Crawley 6, Duckett 3) <\/strong>Crawley offers no stroke to Neser\u2019s first ball, which swings seductively but from well wide of off stump. A straight delivery is clipped confidently for the first boundary by Crawley; this is now England\u2019s highest opening partnership of the series.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a terrifyingly long way to go but England will be pleased with how they\u2019ve started, and how little the new pink ball has swung. Yet. (NB: Clip contains adult language, probably, there isn\u2019t time to check the whole thing.)<\/em><\/p>\n

\ufeff\u201cEngland are f**ked, Rob,\u201d says Simon McMahon. \u201cUnless something very strange happens. Desperate times call for desperate measures…\u201d<\/p>\n

Breaking news: Mitchell Starc hasn’t taken a wicket in his first over<\/h2>\n

1st over: England 5-0 (Crawley 2, Duckett 3) <\/strong>Starc has three slips and a gully for Crawley, who pushes the second ball towards mid-off for a single. Duckett gets off a king pair with a slightly awkward defensive stroke \u2013 and then off a pair with a crisp flick through square leg for three. Not much swing for Starc, who goes wicketless in the first over for the first time in the series.<\/p>\n

\u201cI agree, the pitch does look good for batting,\u201d says Andrew Goudie. \u201cI\u2019ll stick my neck out and say England will make Australia bat again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tonight, presumably.<\/p>\n
