England's morning session in the fifth Ashes Test against Australia was a complete disaster, with a plethora of costly overs, dropped catches, and lost reviews leaving the visitors with a mountain to climb.
The morning saw England lose several key wickets, with their top order coming under heavy pressure. The Australian bowlers were on fire, extracting tight lengths and making it difficult for the English batsmen to get off the ground. Even the most experienced players in the English squad found themselves struggling to cope with the conditions.
What's more, the England bowling attack was unable to replicate the success they had enjoyed earlier in the match. The Australian batsmen took full advantage of the generous overs and scored freely, leaving the English bowlers to pick up very little wicket.
The worst offender on the morning session was England captain Ben Stokes, who dropped a crucial catch off the bat of Australia's opener, Travis Head. This drop is sure to be replayed in slow-motion over and over again as it marked the turning point of the innings.
England also lost several reviews under the DRS system, which gave the Australians an opportunity to add more runs to their total. The English team will need to review their strategy and tactics if they are going to get back into this match.
The batting collapse has left England reeling, with the visitors facing a daunting task to avoid defeat in the fifth Ashes Test. Can they stage a miraculous comeback or will Australia continue their winning momentum?

OMG I'm so worried about our boys! 
They've got themselves into a pretty sticky situation. I mean, Ben Stokes dropping that catch was insane - what's going through his mind?! 
The Aussie bowlers were on point today and we just couldn't keep up with them. I know they'll regroup and try to mount a comeback, but it's gonna be tough. They need to figure out how to take control of the game back from Australia. Can they pull off some magic? 
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for them! 
. Can't keep relying on those juicy overs, gotta shut down the batsmen first 
️. DRS is not their friend right now 
. It's like they're just giving up on this series now. We'll see if they can mount a comeback, but it's gonna be tough to swallow 
and that drop by ben stokes was just the icing on the cake 
. i mean what's going through his mind dropping a catch like that? and the aussies taking full advantage of it 
. england needs to regroup and rethink their strategy ASAP or they'll be facing a pretty embarrassing defeat 
And then they just sit back and watch as the aussies score runs for fun. I mean, i know england's been strugglin in this series, but come on guys, step up your game! 
England's morning session was like a train wreck that you can't look away from 
, and the Aussie bowlers were on 
, making it super hard for the English batsmen to get off the ground. The DRS reviews didn't help either, it's like they gave Australia a free pass to score more runs 
.
It's gonna be tough for the team to get back into this match, but they gotta try! 
The Aussies are playing well, but England has some talented players too, so it won't be a walk in the park... yet 
.
England can still climb out of this hole! 
And those reviews under DRS are a joke, it's like they're giving Australia more freebies than a bakery on payday 
.
. Can they turn this around or will they be left with nothing but a bunch of dust 
?
, extracting those tight lengths and making life tough for the English batsmen.
. I mean, I know they can stage a comeback if anyone can 
but it's gonna take some serious magic from the team. Maybe Stokes should just stick to his day job and leave the batting to someone else 
.
, it's like he's on fire 
. They're not even giving themselves a chance to pick up some wickets 
.
. Can't they just get their act together? 
. Otherwise, it's going to be a long day at Lord's 
England's morning session was a total mess 
. I'm shocked Ben Stokes dropped that crucial catch 
and now they're staring at a mountain to climb 
. Can they pull off a miracle? 
. I'm not holding my breath for England to make a comeback at this point 
.
. The Aussies are on fire 
it's like he's unstoppable! And Ben Stokes' dropped catch was a game-changer 
compared to England's 34.5 
. Not looking good for the Poms... but hey, they can still mount a comeback, right? 
. is australia just too good or wut? 
️. And those dropped catches? Yeah, that's not going to win any matches for you 
), but from where I'm sitting, this looks like a classic case of complacency. England thought they had it in the bag and then... oops! The Aussies came in hot 
- anything can happen on the day! Let's just hope for a decent second innings from the Aussies and we might have ourselves a thriller
