Intent has been muuuuuch better this innings

 

[MD Jazz]

Not much in wicket for the quicks. The blokes in the sheds will have had their spirits lifted with the play so far. Be nice if these 2 get through to lunch.

Poms bowling a little to straight

Doing well.

It was

How long until the second new ball

 

[tigerman]

Don't get sucked in Khawaja, leave those wide balls alone, grind them down.

Now this is interesting.

 

[tigertim]

0/132, great start but batting collapses have killed us all series so I’ll hold off for now.

Yeah, winning odds still slightly in favour of England. But getting close to evens.

Hold off what? You've already gone.

 

[tigertim]

Hold off what? You've already gone.

Gone where?

 

[Baloo]

250 runs to win. 10 wickets in hand. This is doable.

Actually, win it from here and it would be very tough for the Whine Merchants to call it a morale victory for them.

Gone where?

Gone that the Aussies are travelling beautifully.

Rain saves England.

Please don’t tell me that rain will deny us certain victory now

 

[Carter]

Rain is fine

We get the 2-1 win and a moral victory to match the Pommy one

It’ll be legit, beautiful and delicious

AUS 0/135

Day to go.

249 to win.

Rain or our complete collapse of our top order!

Looking forward to what is installed.

 

[spook]

The rain hurt us big time last night. Two set batsmen well on top, flagging attack with an unfit spinner. We could have had 100 to get tonight with 7-10 wickets in hand.

 

[tigerman]

A shame the rain saved England's bowlers from having to bowl an extra 40/50 odd overs, that would've took the edge off them for day 5.

The Aussies have got 98 overs to get the runs, but showers are forecast for the morning and third session.

Be great to see the Aussie bats get themselves in again and then take their bowlers down town. A 3-1 result would have The Fleet Street journos turn on on the English players like rabid dogs.
