Australian bowlers are doing a great job of taking wickets at regular intervals. They might clinch victory over the English team if they continue to bowl well. While the openers gave a great start to the innings, the rest of the team couldn't continue the moment and hence, kept throwing away their wickets.

"We know at the other end it was going to get challenging, but look they got two out-and-out quicks, excellent skills, so had to put them under pressure. When Jofra bowled an off-cutter it jumped but it was when the ball was new, later on, a few kept low, and we got a good total.
