It could be Tim Paine making the comment. The Australians have picked up on Burns’ sledging from slip but only when he has his fellow fielders for support. He obviously bats in his shell,ignoring sledges until he has a few runs on the board,hence the second comment.

Result: Burns edges Josh Hazlewood to slip for seven off 21 balls.

Jason Roy

Sledge: “Another bloke who likes a word when all his mates are around. Standing by himself down here? Very little.”

Roy is seen by the Australians as another Englishman who likes a chat with numbers around him.

Result: Bowled by Pat Cummins for eight. Roy walks off and we hear him swearing at himself.

Joe Denly

Sledge: “He looks straight at the screen to see if he’s on the screen.”

The Australians suggest he is a vain,pretty boy and not up for the fight. Denly batted bravely,taking blows to the body and almost seeing England to the close.

Result: Bounced out by Hazlewood and caught behind for 50.

Ben Stokes

Sledge: “No worries Stokesy,I reckon you and me make a good combination bro.”

Nathan Lyon to Stokes after he misses with a swing. Lyon suggests they are a good combo because he gets him out a lot.

Second sledge: “You OK Stokesy? Ah OK. Tough guy now eh?”

David Warner after Stokes is hit on the head,sending his side-clips flying.

Result: One of the greatest innings of all time. The sledging dies down as Stokes gets closer to victory.

Joe Root

Sledge: “Hey what was that? Another non-conversion by Rooty?”

It is Warner,making sure Root can hear him after he walks off. Warner had caught Root at slip off Lyon.

Result: Root out for 77,Warner picking up on the fact another 50 had not been converted to a century.

Jack Leach

Sledge: “He’s got too much on his mind.”

It was Warner,and Leach looks terrified as he walks out and wipes his glasses between balls.

Result: Probably the most famous one not out ever as he survives long enough for Stokes to seal victory.
