Their attack was just head and shoulders above England's yesterday.
Archer apart, who obviously was outstanding.
And then, come tea, just as Harry Brooks kind of got himself in, he played pretty well, I thought.
He played that one expansive cover drive for six.
But that was, you know, he'd got himself in 30-odd balls before he played.
And that's his shot.
But then, just before tea...
Not only have the rest of the bowlers bowled really well together, Cummins can then call upon Cameron Green, who's fresh.
And I thought that was a good ball that Harry Brook got.
Yeah, I mean, that's a kind of tricky question to answer definitively because you have to know what's inside their heads as they're out in the middle.
But I do think the principal consequence was just the pressure that Australia put on them.
Top class bowlers giving you nothing to hit.
You know, pitch is a goodish, pretty flat pitch, the kind of pitch where England have been very aggressive in the past.
But who was giving them anything to hit?
Unlike yesterday, where England were bowling, you know, a bad ball every over from the other seamers apart from Archer.
So I just think it's pressure, pressure, pressure.
And in the end, that pressure told them.
Well, I think you do need to bowl.
I spoke to quite a lot of the bowlers from previous successful test matches here in Australia.
And even somebody like Tim Bresnan, who's thought to be a kind of classic English-style seamer.
