The result is updated from the second day of the first test in Brisbane

Stokes, as I said before without training, is out for a long time and should turn up at 11-3. It’s exactly what you don’t need. New ball, players on top of the game, high confidence. Telling his lack of match practice, he just got a square ball, his chest is in bad shape because you didn’t have a cricket.

Hamid and Joss Butler did very well, and they are fully appreciated. Brave, resolute, he stayed in place. Butler came and attacked. But there’s nothing you can do if you get a good ball, and they both get a good ball, you have to raise your hand and say ‘At least you made the kidnappers shoot me, I didn’t give the wickets, full credit to them’. They did a good job but by then It was about to end.

Young Bob was batting beautifully, beautifully, and seemed confident, relaxed, as I thought – and thought for a long time – he could bat, he’s a quality batsman. But then he tied the throat of his thin leg. We all did it, it’s a big mistake, especially when you’re in trouble, and in Australia the ball accelerates, it gets a little big sometimes, it’s not smart but we all made mistakes.

After that, the tail will never get you out of prison. Chris Walks has scored a few runs, looks good, and we know he can hit a bit, but England need him to take a share. By the time he hits, England was in too much trouble to get us out of it.

Bowlers will once again play cricket. They will have to perform exceptionally to keep Ashes alive. If England lose this Test match, they will have to win two of the next four because Australia is the title holder. Is it possible? Yes, but realistically very unlikely. England need great bowling, great grip and then exceptional hitting in the second innings. All we can do is pray for that miracle.
