I think England missed a trick by not attacking Head’s stumps more. He looked vulnerable at the start, but then he just started swinging at everything and it worked.

Hoping England can bounce back, but right now Australia looks scary at home.

Honestly felt like England panicked once Australia got going. The body language was gone, and the slips started leaking runs and getting sloppy.

Two-day Test! Never thought I’d see this in the Ashes again. England totally lost the plot after Starc’s burst, then couldn’t handle Head’s aggression at all.

England’s batting looked lost, but credit to Starc for the new-ball spell.
