Cricket
Former captain Michael Vaughan had his say on England’s Ashes performance.
13 out of the last 24 wickets the Aussie seamers have taken have fallen to Englands pull shots .. I will give them a clue .. it’s not working .. #Ashes

Gary Lineker knows his cricket.
Broad gets Warner for the 500th time. A new record. I’m exaggerating…a bit.

KP was optimistic.
Scores get close to level, ENGLAND can win this Test. Not seen an Australian team blown away so easily by an England fast bowler(Wood). He is the difference! #Ashes

but also made a point about the standard of cricket in the series.
This test match and a lot of the series has been really poor cricket all round. Perhaps the tension the fact it’s The Ashes? I feel a lot of wickets thrown away in this series from both teams♂ #Ashes
