    You’re probably right. Can see their batting collapse now and Archer taking the final wicket towards the end of the fourth after enforcing the follow-on.

    It's 14/1 against the first Test being a draw, which would suggest a 5th day is unlikely.

    Who'll be watching?

    I'm planning to get up around 6am.

    Yes will do similar I think. Had considered staying up to watch the start but this is probably the more sensible option.

    What will be at 6 am? Last session?

    I reckon I’ll have a sense of how it’s going around 5:30. My son is back home for a bit but has to get up at that time for work. There’ll be a loud FFS if it’s not going well and a whoop if it is.

    I think we have a decent chance this series, and especially this match with Cummins and the other one out and Cry Baby as captain.

    Wow, just seen what a TNT sports subscription costs. Pretty sure this will be available on Fawanews, which is where I watched England v All Blacks last weekend.

    We have a Virgin package, which used to include BT Sports, but since TNT took over we don't get that. Virgin blocks Fawanews too, so I have reluctantly had to resort to an 'alternative' source. I can't be without the cricket.

    Perth is only 8 hours ahead of us, the other venues will be 10 hours ahead which will be better for watching the start...

    How do you watch it? Laptop or TV? What browser do you use? I use Opera, which has a free VPN, or go via browser on Firestick. I'm on Virgin and don't have issues with FAWaa

    I feel like I'm speaking in a second language, but I use Chrome on my laptop. I hate Virgin anyway and won't use them after my contract ends in the new year.

    Just saw a pic of Nathan Lyon now. Could easily be 50. We’ll batter these.

    Yeah, the games on the east coast start at midnight our time. I would watch the first session, then crash out and try to rouse myself for the last knockings.

    Snap, Virgin WiFi, no blocks whether or not I use VPN. Usually watch on iPad rather than TV though.

    I fancy England strongly. Their batters have been poor recently and their bowlers are old.

    I was hoping it was on Sky but bloody TNT got it & I won’t pay to have it either, so BBC or Sky up dates or radio, need to win 1st test
