Mark Wood - wow.
And what a superb, fast pitch at Headingley. Regularly this venue holds excellent, gripping tests.

What a difference Mark Wood has made. I reckon Jofra would have had a similar impact if available. Meanwhile, Ollie Robinson limps off and we may well not see him again in this series. Of course we need to see England bat before we get too excited by the bowling display. Australia won’t drop as many catches. I’ve always rated Wood

Wood and Marsh were good changes.

The fat lady isn’t singing yet. We’ll need some batting heroics though. Will Bairstow finally come good in this series?

Hope is a wonderful thing.
Perhaps, the strongest Australian side to tour England since the pre-2005 days. Couple that with an England who look out-of-form, in all areas (especially fielding), and yet there is the injured Stokes who continues to give us miracles, is pretty much batting for the rest of his team, and keeps us in the game... just. The word enthralling does not offer this series justice. There must be a stronger term.
In that respect, it is a very uneven Ashes and yet somehow we still believe England can win this third test.

Excellent to see LGBTQWERTY colours/emblems, painted on the base of the stumps. I thought so-called Pride Month was last month but good to see still we have this excellent propaganda continuing in to July. These days we dont just want to play and watch our sports free from politics but to embrace the bigger picture. I dont know which aspect of Pride we're meant to be celebrating as gays have got their demands met and if you're not an on-message gay the Pride parade isn't for you. But whether its drag queens, gender neutral toilets, blokes in dresses masquerading as women or homosexuality I'm sure these alternative, non dysfunctional aberrations are worth celebrating.

I am sure this sexual propaganda will keep going until a law is passed that unless an "it" swears allegiance to LGBTQIA+, then a prison sentence occurs.

Many a true word spoken in jest www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-12276511/GUY-ADAMS-investigates-building-society-nine-different-types-Pride-flags.htmlEach has their own banner. And Yorkshire Building Society now reckons no fewer than nine — yes, nine! — should be flown at varying times of the year. A page on its website therefore explains how 'the whole LGBTQ+ spectrum' is today covered by different, multi-coloured designs. Aside from the old-fashioned rainbow flag, it informs customers that there's a red, purple and blue one for 'bisexual awareness', which is celebrated during a 'health-awareness month' in March, along with an 'awareness week' and 'visibility day' in September. Then there's a blue, pink and white banner for 'transgender awareness' and red, orange, pink and white one for lesbians. The 'asexual community', who aren't attracted to anyone, fly a purple, white grey and black flag in November and April, the building society says, while 'agender pride', for those who don't believe they have any gender, is celebrated in May, via a purple, white and grey flag. 'Pansexual and panromantic' folk, attracted to people of every gender, have a pink, yellow and blue banner for their December 'pride day', while 'intersex' people, born with both male and female characteristics, fly a yellow design with a purple circle in it. Finally, Yorkshire Building Society's online guide says 'non-binary' people, whom it describes as those who reject the 'gender binary which relates to the social construct of defining gender at birth', fly yellow, white, purple and black colours for a week every July. I wonder how many people of varying genders they employ to think up these loony, crackpot ideas that would have been too ludicrous for a Monty Python parody.

There are off topic pages to put your homophobic, misogynistic bigotry.

Obviously not the sharpest tool and someone who is easy fodder for idiotic pc indoctrination.

All the time these bigoted people are on this messageboard I won’t be posting.
As with most things it’s the few bad apples which spoil the crop.

I note you make ad hominem attacks rather than tackling the fact of why we need the Pride emblem varnished on the stumps when cricket has managed to function the best part of 2 centuries without this irritating virtue signalling. No way will you be able to stay away.

A squeaky bum day and nothing to do with LGBT... let us, please, just focus on the most pivotal day of the Ashes to date. Already we are up to 39-0, requiring another 212 runs to win the third Test and keep England in the series. Fingers crossed. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/cricket/64959137
