Let's try and look at positively - it can't quite much worse for England from here.
Oh. What's that? It could? We best buckle in then.
Admittedly I've only seen the final over from that session, but it sounds like England's bowling stacked up for at least 60% of the session, but the last 45 minutes show a major problem of playing in Australia.
If you're not taking wickets it's hard to control the scoring rate. The hosts will have a decent chunk of a lead by tea unless England can strike, and strike multiple times.
