4 for 85 down, be lucky to make 150 at this rate.

Might be better off bazballing ...the wicket is quicker and England have picked a better attack and defending won't end well.
Head and Marsh should see Wood off then attack the others imo..

Just come off shift....WTF is Marsh playing !?!  Surely that's a break glass in case of extreme emergency only option?

118 at a run a ball, made their quicks and our top order look stupid.

What is wrong with Head? He plays a cheap rubbish stroke to be dropped by Root in the slips. Then plays a crapty attempt to play a ball that looked like it would always be an edge to Root in the slips to be caught. WTF was he thinking? If the poms had held their catches we would be lucky to score 200. As it is we won’t get past 350 by the look of things. Things were looking great while Marsh was there. It looks like turning to crap from here on.

OMG. We might not get much more than 250. What a complete batting collapse. This test result will be going the way England needs.

Yea, didn't even know he was in the squad, took me back to Covid days.

Alarming trends emerging....Warner out cheaply to Broad, the overall fragility of the batting unit, brainless shot selection from the usual suspects, nothing from the tail and Wood getting amongst us due to express pace.  None of this augers well.

Actually, replacing Green it reminds me a bit of our bringing in Cunningham and Fogarty to replace Motlop and Durdin.

Is this the cricket version of the old head replacing the beginner?

He's played a ton of cricket in the UK over the years and made all the England bowlers look like gooses, but even worse for the UK, he has a knack of cleaning up in the bowling as well.

My reservation, Marsh breaks down too often, he might have a good game or two but then often misses a month with a hammy or some other silly injury.

Marsh got dropped on 12.. a real dolly to Root. Same old England...not good enough, their batting was dreadful again, fielding worse, although Bairstow will probably make runs on his home deck given he has been shocking as a keeper and Foakes should be playing but the old boys club has got Bairstow his spot,  but he is over due to do something.
Marsh played well but got lucky and is unreliable technique wise imho.
Did feel for Carey who got booed, then smashed in the head by Wood and looked glad to get off the ground.
