    That’s a shame, but what a fantastic innings from Crawley.

    Crawley drags on for 189. Great innings son. Do not collapse now, get a nice lead of at keast 150 before thinking about declaring

    Pitch looks dead and a belter to bat on now, however there are a couple that are staying low.

    I'm actually feeling a bit sorry for Cummins. He's a good man and an excellent bowler, but the captaincy seems to have become a bit much for him.

    Tough for a fast bowler to be captain.

    He’s should be helped by the experience in the team but Smith and Warner don’t seem to be helping, odious characters that they are.

    Said there were a few keeping low ! Unlucky for Root, great innings again. Brilliant for us going forward if those balls keep staying low as long as we get far enough ahead. Ridiculous how low that kept

    Stokes looking deeply uncomfortable for a change. Suddenly the bounce has gone unpredictable.

    Get a decent lead and this wicket may start to offer some unpredictability.
    Just back from having my hip replaced.
    Been watching on my laptop for two days.
    I think we'll try to battill just before lunch tomorrow, although we seem to have slowed a bit.

    Fantastic day for Engkand, Aussies on their knees. Hopefully we blast it for 2 hours till lunch and then stick em back in. Hopefully there's cloud cover and the lights are on but no rain. Not much to ask lol. Come on England

    What a cracking day for England.... everything executed to a tee.... bowled them out quickly and then scored a terrific rate to set up the declaration mid morning tomorrow after pummelling say 100 runs in a dozen overs....

    Welcome to bazball Aussies.....

    This is where the current fashion for short, intense tours can backfire. Warner is hugely out of form but his potential replacements in the squad have no form at all because there are no other games for them to shine in.

    Caravanning is a marvellous thing.

    All jokes aside, you gents are playing extremely well and deserve all credit.

    We just need to hold on and hope for poor weather….. and or a miracle.

    Does it snow In Manchester?

    Well that's not what you hope to wake up to.
    Great innings from Crawley.
    3 days of rain is not too much to ask for in Manchester, seems to rain much more than that every time I'm there.

    Some rain around Manchester this morning..... keep everything crossed that it buggers off and we get to start on time..... an hour of mayhem to add another 100 then get them in on a surface that is already showing signs of uneven bounce.....
