It's not the cross-batted swish that Zach Crawley got out to when he was in the 70s at Brisbane.

It was really good bowling from Pat Cummins, who's come back into the side.

He's not had any preparation.

He's not had any warm-up games, but he hit his straps immediately.

Got one to nibble.

It took Zach Crawley's outside edge.

But Oli Pope, I've got to ask you, Darren, Aggers has just alluded to it there.

Is this the day the Pope died?

Is that it?

I mean, what was so sad about it, it seemed to me, was that you could see his struggles.

It wasn't just that ball in isolation.

He played a very confused shot of a ball from Pat Cummins, where the bat was just in no way... It wasn't in the right place to play the ball.

Bottom hand had sort of scrunched his bat round at a weird angle, a bit like how he got out to start when he dragged on at Brisbane.

And after the first innings he played at Perth, when everything looked fine, he was still, his leaves were proper and controlled.

He then got out LBW and he seems to do this thing, David, where he fixates over the dismissal that he's had and then sort of tries to play the, if you like, the battle before, thinking too much about how he got out before.

I mean, how did you read it?

It was a skittish, back to the skittish Pope rather than the calm Pope.

The other part of this is, and I'm slightly baffled about the way England then batted afterwards, I say baffled, I want to ask you how easy it would be

the players to change their approach because stokes made it very clear didn't he in that second innings at brisbane that he wanted people to dig in he and jacks just put up some fight and he did it again today almost by setting by example and harry brooke i thought found that right tempo didn't he he got it just as agus said you know 40 45 or 63 it's that's

absolutely fine but at the same time he was rating himself in a touch he wasn't scoring boundaries in the way normally would do you think that it's quite difficult for a side
