Ex-Australia bowler on BBC Test Match Special
My question about Bazball is are they trying to take pressure off the players or are they trying to take away fear.
We probably saw England throw away five or six wickets yesterday, did they learn from that?
We're under 10 minutes from the start of play, with the England set to bowl their first over at Nathan Lyon and Brendan Doggett at 2:20 GMT.
Alex Hartley has described today's weather as a "Manchester day" on Test Match Special - having just enjoyed a chilly bike ride into our office in Salford I'd guess it's still a fair bit warmer in Western Australia.
But after perfect conditions on day one there is a forecast of light rain today. It's currently overcast but dry.

I would like to see Mitchell Starc get some swing on the ball. He did really well yesterday but didn't really get any movement. If there's anytime to do it, it's in the morning.
Welcome back - it's day two of the Ashes and we're due another blockbuster morning session after yesterday's chaos.
England were bowled out for 172 after choosing to bat, with Mitchell Starc taking career-best figures of 7-58.
No matter, England's all pace attack bowled superbly to leave Australia 123-9 at the close, with Ben Stokes taking five successive wickets to blow away the tail.
England go hunting for the final Australian wicket this morning, and will be hoping to build on a small lead.
Day one. 19 wickets. Express pace.
Plenty more people setting their alarms this morning, I think.
