308 all out! Fantastic catch by Joe Root, and that is a truly brilliant performance by England. Rickie Ponting was saying yesterday he expected Australia to get 600+ on that pitch. Maybe not Rickie...
I think it depends whether or not Johnson and Starc can get it to swing as much as Jimmy did.
I'm expecting a much lower score in our 2nd innings (hence the value of those 122 runs), but then we have a real go at the Aussies again.
I expected some early wickets (just didn't like to predict it)...will come down to how well we do further down the order. Would have been nice to have got a few more runs before the first wicket though. 
Hoping that I** B*** gets some runs today....didn't spell it out in case Fate was watching.
Right....200 ahead, 3 wickets down. What do you think is enough? My view: 350 (Aussies will be pleased they kept us that low), 400 should be enough, but you never know....typical Saints fan view), 450 home and hosed.
Made the right decision and stuck with the cricket...entertaining stuff. 411 Lead. Nothing impossible with 2 days left to play, but should be okay on this pitch. Mustn't counts chickens.
My prediction for tomorrow....Australia will score slowly but surely without losing any wickets initially (or perhaps just one to torment us), then will lose 3-4 in the early afternoon. However, England will take more wickets later so we can stop hiding behind the sofa, but the game will still stretch into Sunday. England will ultimately win by about 100 runs.
No need to play it really.
