That along with Warner and Smith seemingly unable to contribute even a half meaningful score. Warner should be on the first plane home after this test, he is embarrassing.
England cant expect a banged up Stokes to carry the team and I wouldnt be surprised if he doesnt play the next test if the Ashes are lost. He cant keep playing these whirlwind innings and is due for a low score soon, he played a tired sore shot to get out and even when he was dropped I didnt put it down to great bowling more him being forced to play big shots to try and get England some runs as the rest of his batsmen were contributing nothing and getting out.
We should win this test comfortably imo and we have the potential for a clean sweep if Stokes doesnt play again this series...
