Root a good ball.

I really like the way that Harry Brook batted.

Again, you touched on it there, but he played much more in a way

uh that people have been asking him to play yes he played a wonderful stroke over extra cover for six off one of the quicker bowlers but it but it wasn't the flailing mad swiping sort of a shot that we've seen him play up to now this is a beautiful controlled shot because he's a great player and he can bat you know he plays a shot like that that was

It was virtually chance-less, the way that he played it, but incredibly skilful.

More of that, please, Harry, going forwards, because you're giving yourself much more of a chance.

45 from 63 balls, that's a perfectly decent scoring rate.

There we talk about Snicko, of course, but I think that's largely...

largely irrelevant I think today's main story is that Australia's bowling was outstanding and England have just not been able to live up to that that constant probing and I said before yesterday I have no idea how many times I used the word cut and again this morning when England were bowling I don't think I said it once when Australia were bowling that's the difference in the length that the two teams have bowled well just to tidy up that Australia added 45 runs their overnight 326 and they did it with

And is it hard, David, to do that without actually playing a game to change it?

I mean, do you think that the batsmen should be batting more in games of cricket, not just test cricket, but in actual games?

You talk about a game plan there.

Hard to develop a game plan in the nets, isn't it?

But there are different ways of putting pressure on bowlers.

They're simply smacking them for four, aren't they?

I mean, you've got Cummins back after a huge long layoff.

Lyon still back and angry, having been dropped.

And obviously, he's two away from your record and all that sort of stuff.

So you don't give the wickets.

In Cummins' case, you keep running in, mate.
