Jason Roy: Two batting failures, dropped a crucial sitter, but arrived on time each day. 1

Rory Burns: The surprise package of England’s top order, his batting improved from the first Test without the same result. 7

Joe Root: Showing signs of wear. 4

Joe Denly: An attractive cricketer, but his scores are blending into the background. Super catch late on Sunday. 6

Ben Stokes: Lucky early in his second innings but stuck around and smashed the highest score of the match, giving England their chance. 8

Jos Buttler: Still a query, but applied himself and regained some confidence in his second dig. 5

Jonny Bairstow: Back to his bubbly self with bat and gloves. 7

Chris Woakes: Seems not to have his captain’s backing and bowled without bite. 6

Jofra Archer: Five wickets won’t tell the story of his impact on the match and series. 8

Stuart Broad: England’s most accurate bowler again, but would have liked to cause more panic on Sunday. 7

Jack Leach: Worried the Australians on a wearing pitch. 6

Australia

David Warner: Bottomed out in this game. The only way from here is up, or out. 1

Cameron Bancroft: He fights so hard it hurts and there is no doubting his heart, but runs are proving hard to come by. 4

Usman Khawaja: Senior man, just not yet producing the score to go with the responsibility. 4

Steve Smith: They could only stop him by hitting him. 9

Marnus Labuschagne: Like-for-like replacement for Smith, as measured by match-saving determination. 7

Travis Head: Suddenly lost his Edgbaston form, then suddenly found it again. 6

Matthew Wade: Not much to report, did some good fielding for an unemployed keeper. 2

Tim Paine: Handy first innings, sound glovework, needs to do homework on his referrals. 5

Patrick Cummins: Lionhearted with ball and bat. 8

Peter Siddle: Always underestimated, usually overachieves. 6

Nathan Lyon: Couldn’t quite get it going when conditions favoured him in the second innings. 5

Josh Hazlewood: Welcome return, Australia’s best bowler during the game’s vital first stanza. 6
