England are 8 for 213. There are 158 runs behind. Stokes is at the crease. So is Joffra Archer. It could have been a lot worse, but you know what? This is Australia's day. This is a day that Australia have played really, really well. And we have given England a whole heap of shit. And I've got to say for the right reasons because the chat's been garbage.

This is, it's a day of quality defeating supposed talent.

I want to talk about that later, but it, you know, that the cartel was back.

It was rounded, it was sophisticated, it was disciplined, it was patient, and its quality

And most of the dismissals today, frustratingly for this show, were just good deliveries getting guys out.

A couple of dumb things, all good.

That'll happen in innings of cricket.

But today it was about the return of familiar shapes
