Read More

The sequence continues to observe the pattern of his Test profession. Looked one million {dollars} in second innings particularly, surviving difficult night spell and getting again in on day 4, solely to fall to Marsh for second time in match when beginning to motor.

Ben Duckett 4

2 & 23

Huge contribution at Lord’s however much less so right here. Tucked up and performed a shot that wasn’t on when serving to via to Carey. Important that he and Crawley obtained via to shut on day three, and gave chase early impetus, however then trapped by Starc and burnt a assessment.

Harry Brook 8

3 & 75

Experiment at No3 didn’t get off the bottom however performed an excellent innings to information England’s chase earlier than falling in sight of the road. Took a screaming catch on third day that ought to have been Bairstow’s working again from short-leg.

Joe Root 3

19 & 21, 0-4

Hasn’t seemed himself within the final two Tests and vulnerability in opposition to Cummins is turning into a priority. Fell to Australia’s captain in each innings right here, together with simply earlier than lunch on day 4 in what would possibly’ve been a key blow to chase.

Jonny Bairstow 2

12 & 5

Came into this Test on his dwelling floor searching for retribution after feeling wronged at Lord’s however had a little bit of a shocker. Continues to wrestle behind the stumps, with eight missed possibilities of various difficulties throughout three Tests, together with a horrible drop of Head in first innings. No affect with the bat.

Ben Stokes 8

80 & 13

Yet one other match-saving innings batting with the tail, taking England near first innings parity when Australia might need been left in command. Strangled down the leg-side within the chase - a reminder he can’t do all of it each time. Selections proved masterstrokes.

Moeen Ali 6

21 & 5, 0-40 & 2-34

Reached 200 Test wickets with absolute items from Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith on a pitch providing no flip. Bowled an excellent, miserly spell of 17 overs on day two that stored a depleted assault from folding. Promoted to No3 in second innings however bowled for 5.

Chris Woakes 8

10 & 32, 3-73 & 3-68

An excellent return. Took 5 wickets, all of specialist batters and people of Carey and Marsh after rain delay on day three had been very important in cracking recreation open. Then carried England dwelling in chase at the same time as final specialist batter fell, hanging profitable runs.

Mark Wood 9

24 & 16, 5-34 & 2-66

Where have you ever been? Spell on the primary morning was merely sensational, touching 96.5mph. Claimed greatest dwelling figures of 5-34, then three extra wickets in second innings. Cameo of 24 off eight balls shifted momentum after lunch on day two, earlier than boshing Australian hopes of late twist with one other blast on day 4. Man of the match.

Stuart Broad 7

7, 2-58 & 3-45

Playing his fourth Test of the summer time however continues to ship. Started England’s sensible first morning with Warner’s wicket and had his bunny once more within the second. Finished Australia off with high-class seam on day three.

Ollie Robinson N/A

5*, 0-38

Wicketless in 11 overs earlier than struggling a again spasm throughout his twelfth and unable to bowl once more. Not fairly clear why England endured with him within the area.

Australia

David Warner 2

4 & 1

Followed an encouraging Test at Lord’s along with his poorest of the tour and for the primary time within the sequence, questions over his place are lingering. No shock to see opener wrestle with extra motion on provide, nor fall twice to Broad. Good within the slips.

Usman Khawaja 5

13 & 43

Done for tempo by Wood within the first innings having by no means seemed snug however once more pissed off England within the second. Has now confronted greater than 900 balls within the sequence, although this was his least productive Test.

Marnus Labuschagne 5

21 & 33

Actually seemed in higher contact at the beginning of his innings however remains to be struggling badly to make any actual affect on the sequence. Threw away his wicket on day two when Australia might need had foot on English throat, out slog sweeping Moeen. Largely excellent within the area.

Steve Smith 4

22 & 2

Could not imagine it when DRS confirmed a feather behind to Broad in first innings, then obtained out in essentially the most uncharacteristic style possible within the second. A magnet within the area, took 5 catches within the first innings.

39 & 77

Played the unfamiliar position of anchor within the partnership of 155 with Marsh that rescued Australia on day one, then smashed England throughout the park in 77 that noticed vacationers put up a aggressive whole.

Mitchell Marsh 8

118 & 28, 1-9 & 1-23

Loves taking part in in opposition to England. Four years on from his final Test outing, scored his third hundred, the earlier two coming in opposition to the identical opponents. Striking in run-a-ball 118 was extraordinary. Got Crawley in each innings. Will absolutely preserve his place.

Alex Carey 5

8 & 5

Again stalked by controversy, this time in a bizarre row over haircut payment. Had a poor Test with the bat however continues to be nigh-on flawless with the gloves, although he did put down robust Wood probability late on.

Mitchell Starc 8

2 & 16, 2-59 & 5-78

Australia’s strike bowler delivered in a giant method on the ultimate day, taking five-for to virtually single-handedly preserve England in verify. Batted effectively alongside Head in second innings, too.

Pat Cummins 7

0 & 1, 6-91 & 1-77

Skipper was excellent within the first innings to depart England reeling and appears to have Root’s quantity, which is a boon for his aspect. Expensive within the second innings, although, and a few unusual selections with fields late within the chase. Struggled in opposition to Wood’s tempo.

Todd Murphy 4

13 & 11, 1-36 & 0-13

Took inevitable remedy from a charging Stokes earlier than ending with the comfort of his wicket. Largely ignored by his captain within the chase. One sensational bit of labor on the boundary and confirmed he can deal with himself with the bat.

Scott Boland 3

0* & 0*, 0-35 & 0-49

Brought into the group right here however may effectively be straight again out of it in Manchester having gone wicketless, though was not fairly as expensive as at Edgbaston.
