    Unfortunately we have literally no other players with a safe enough spot to give the captaincy to.

    I wouldn't be against guaranteeing somebody a place in the side, as a specialist captain at the moment. Shamefully bad show this morning.

    That didn’t work. Jimmy’s turn.

    I hope we at least open with Bairstow and Buttler if we ever get them out. Have a go.

    Only 2 results possible now - such a shame as 45 mins ago I thought we could still win

    Root adding awful fielding to go with his captaincy. He was in no position to take a catch as that ball was bowled.

    Probably better off not bowling them out now

    This is not going well, can't see us getting a win now.

    I've come to the conclusion that any England playing trying to bowl a yorker is instantly banned from future England selection.

    No chance now we’ve blown it. We may well come under severe pressure to bat out for the draw now.

    Or even anybody trying to aim for the top of off against a tail ender.

    Root's inability to keep his players focused when Bumrah came in has cost us this test.

    Well, their bowlers are making batting look easy so our batsmen will do the same after lunch. 100 each for the openers and a comfortable win by 5.30.

    Or…..maybe not!

    Root has to take some blame for this morning’s shambles. Leadership skills zero.

    You have to say, it's quite an impressive effort from us to make two of the worst batsmen in the world look immovable, yet dangerous.

    Shocking bowling shocking captaincy. Shami 50 saya it all. We have to accept that previous world class england team has gone. We are so far off it its unreal. Aussies will beat us 5-0 easily
