Just booked flights for a holiday in Malta. I'm embarrassed to admit that I had no real idea where Malta is. I think I was confusing it with Cyprus. I'm 59

BT Sport showing the replay of Smith run out and thinking it was Stokes being the 2nd one of the over

In a high class field, that was the most stupid shot of the series

Brydon Carse has the chance to do the funniest thing. If he takes 3 more wickets, by my calculations he'll have 25 in the series, out of 74 possible.
In the last 90 years or so, only John Snow in 6 tests has done better. It'll be one of England's all-time great overseas Ashes series

Worried that Carse is going to be shifted from his rightful number 3 slot for someone with fewer first class centuries

Brook 33 off 23 out of 46-4 means I'm hopefully on #JessopWatch but more likely #BannermanWatch

Apparently Carey has moved up from 7 to 6 after his success at Adelaide. WHERE HE BATTED AT 6!

Watching England bat and giving me false hope, then flicking the channel to see one of my favourites, Ajaz Patel, bowling. Beautiful bowling action. He's denied a third wicket as nobody appeals for a caught behind!

Reminder - England's men haven't won an Ashes series without Ian Bell since 86/87. Their only hope is either to bring him back or get somebody to change their name
