I'm loving how Aussies are finally looking like the stronger team, their bowlers have been on fire! But let me tell you, 154 runs from Bethell? That's still way too many for my taste, I mean, England should've wrapped that up ages ago 
. And don't even get me started on Starc, he's been a game-changer in this series 
️. Will England be able to pull off an epic comeback or will they just get swept under the rug? Only time (and probably some drama) will tell 
, and Bethell's innings was literally insane! 
I mean, 154 off what felt like an eternity, he just kept going and going like a rockstar 
! Starc totally outperformed him too - that guy's skills are on another level. Australia's in such a good spot now, but you know England can still mount a comeback 
, they always do. The suspense is killing me, will they pull it off or not? 
i mean, starc was on fire today! 154 is a huge score for england but they just couldn't handle starc's pace 
anyway, australia's lead is looking big now and it's gonna be super tough for england to catch up 
still hoping for an epic comeback tho 
.
. Bring on the drama, I say!
, i mean they're already behind australia by like 146 runs. and jacob bethell's innings was insane, i'm not surprised he took his time and tried to make it count 
. but starc just got the job done and now aussie's in a great position 
. still gotta root for england tho, they always manage to come back strong 
.
. Australia was already on top, but then you saw Bethell go off like a shot 
. It felt like the whole team just checked out for a bit 
. The Aussies sensed blood in the water and pounced 
, which is why their lead is now looking so big 
. Can't say I'm surprised, though - the Poms have been struggling all series 
. Still, England's got to keep fighting 
. I mean, 154 runs isn't bad, but you'd think he could've held on a bit longer. And now Starc has gotten in and started picking up wickets left and right 
. Australia's got this Ashes win in the bag if they keep playing like that 
. The English team is toast... I just can't see 'em pulling off a miraculous comeback at this point 
. It's gonna be a long road to recovery for them, especially if Starc keeps racking up those wickets 
️
This final test is going to be a nail-biter for sure!
but seriously england is so close to losing the ashes series 
their batsmen are like what happened 2 jacob bethell
