*****Official Ashes thread*****

Root showing again he's not quite yet there as an opening batsmen, too cheaply again.

I'd quite like to see us bring back Compton for Root, and drop Bairstow and bring in another bowler. Broad, Swann, Bresnan and Prior all do jobs with the bat. We don't need the extra batsman.

Edit: Not that our batsmen are exactly performing wonders. But given the number of good bowlers we have and the dearth of batting quality, we may as well play an additional bowler.
 
Cook! Awful drive, easily caught behind. Angle of the bat was completely wrong for that shot, I've rarely seen worse.
 
Trott! Caught short by a glove ball; terrible way to go but he always has trouble with the leg side. Another brilliant catch by Haddin!
 
Nice recovery from England. Bell's putting in some fine work now. Pietersen looks very awkward. The angle of his wrists seems quite odd.
 
KP never looks comfortable when he has to play the conservative long game, he wants to blast every ball.
