    This is far from over, anything could happen in the next half hour.

    The weather may possibly have played into Australia's hands here.

    If the England batsman weren't expecting there to be any play today and if they're still expecting rain at some point then they may be slightly complacent and not quite in the right mindset.

    Alternatively, the sooner KP gets in the better our chances are of chasing these runs down! :emoticon-0110-tongu

    Think it depends which forecast you listen to.

    Root on 3 off 30 balls. Either get on with it or get out so KP can get on with it. Would rather have a thrilling run chase than a bore draw.

    Can't see England risking it. Not in Cooks nature.

    That was close. Do we bring in a lunchwatchman if we lose another wicket!

    I actually want Root out now. His innings is going nowhere.

    They selected a safe team to avoid getting bowled out twice and therefore avoid defeat, I can't see them suddenly going gung ho and risk losing now.

    I think that's right.

    If we got to tea at something like 150 for 1 or 2 then I could see us trying to push on a bit in the last session. If it comes off then we go for the win, if a couple of wickets go down then we go back to playing out time.

    KP won't be defensive. He doesn't know the meaning of the word.

    And KP whacks a 4 off his 4th ball. That's more like it!
