njosmith Dec 2021 1:40am, 16 Dec 2021 773 posts	0 njosmith Cummins definitely out. Steve Smith now captain. I'd love to see how much the odds of England Winning changed through the morning as it was increasingly clear that Cummins wouldn't be able to play.

Ocelot Spleens Dec 2021 7:36am, 16 Dec 2021 32,668 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens England, well Root, seems to have had the idea that the way not get beaten is to drag the game out for as long as possible from the first ball. Obviously this means Australia will score at least 350+ by tea on the second day and the game will be over by the end of the third.
