A great ton by Labuschagne, he finally converts a start. It’s raining at the golf but not at the cricket. The light is bad though, Stokes got told if he bowled Wood the Umpires would over Australia the light.

They don't "offer the light" to the batting team any more ... the umpires are the sole judge.
Looks like a draw is the most likely outcome now. Seriously bad weather predicted across the whole area on Sunday
If rain forces a draw in this test it's like a win for us. England deserve to win this game. We seem a shell of the team we were, not sure we can turn it around for the fifth test.
Probably right but retaining the Ashes this way is actually good for the pommies because it will give them something to legitimately whinge about.
Yes that's correct, it was a figure of speech. I had one screen on the cricket and another on the golf.
I reckon if rain allows Australia to get out of this test with a draw, Stokes will be questioned why he batted so long on day 3 with a dodgy weather forecast.

Exactly Tigerman.
I would, personally have declared either 50 behind or 50 in front.
Forced the hand. AUS looked shaky earlier on.
Manus might have swung it our way for a draw.
But never trust in weather to save and salvage a draw.
Still last day approaching. Talk was we would get No cricket yesterday, but go some.
Marsh & Green looking ok.
Loved it when one of the umpires was wearing sunnies while talking to Stokes about the light.
2nd innings runs are always more valuable. Well done Marnus for fighting through a tough patch.
Sure but it happens. Actually unusual not to have a test wrecked by weather in England.
The weather was the reason we didn’t win the 21/22 Ashes 5-0 if you recall. But of course that series doesn’t count, at least according to Stuart Broad.
England have probably edged this series so far but if they go into the 5th test 1-2 it’s because they fluffed the first test in reality.
I really lay the blame at the poor tactics the Aussies have used in the last 2 tests.
Frankly I think we've been diabolical.
As for Cummins Captaincy!!!!!! I truly think he's the worst since, well actually, I think he's the worst I can remember.
