“It’s a key wicket because Trott played in such a controlled fashion and now Jonny Bairstow comes to the crease, who hasn’t had much time in the middle, in his first Ashes Test.”
“You have to say England have played three loose shots on the front foot but it’s terrific from Australia, they’ve had a plan to build up pressure and they’re now right in this game.”

Mitchell Starc and debutant Ashton Agar have both been tidy as well, and Joe Root‘s knock was handy as he played foil to Trott’s aggression.

The Telegraph:
Batting hasn’t been easy, with the ball swinging, but most of the England batsmen have given their wickets away. A bye and a no-ball in Pattinson’s over. Bell and Bairstow are playing at as little as possible, which is sensible early on against the moving ball.
