Thirty-nine overs left in the day, but the Aussies will make sure we don't get anything like that. We should still be over 100 ahead by close, though.
I was told that Saturday looks to be a wash out but should be ok for Sunday as no rain forecast till 6pm. It’s written in the stars that there will be a day 4, ashes victory at The Oval. Those who are there will be talking about it for years to come
Say there's another 30 overs bowled by 6:30 stumps, at 15 overs an hour going at around 6 an over would have us in the 430 - 450 range, a lead of around 130....... not sure that's enough for the declaration, but Skip knows best.......... C'mon England.......
You never know if we continue to score at this rate……would possibly make sense to have a little nibble at their openers when they are tired from being all day in the field
The Aussie over rate is criminally slow. Once again they will be fined their match fee and it won’t make any difference. England are no angels in this regard but much faster than the Aussies. They are slightly hampered by having about 5 players trying to change the field positions after every ball.
Your forecast is dodgy unfortunately pal. Met office has some showers there tomorrow, Saturday very grim and Sunday persistent showers all day. I'm hoping the Met office forecast is very wrong !
Stark looks to have a leg injury of some sort but still bowling. Cummins looks shattered aswell. No Lyon for the remainder of the series. Aussies falling apart , oh dear lol
Been flat out at work since about 11 without a pause in meetings. We were looking good at 90 something for 1 then. Just checked the score. HELLO! Going rather nicely.
