    Wouldn't wish a serious injury on him, but if we can break his arm so he cant bat we might have a chance.
    Although the way we are batting he could beat us with one arm.

    If we can set them around 200 in 2 sessions it could be an interesting finish.

    You're right. I was far too downbeat with my prediction.

    I just watched the highlights on Channel 5, that was some day yesterday. The jousting between Smith and Archer was something else. The game is now evenly poised I think, it can go either way.

    Weather's taken a turn for the worse, unlikely to get a full day in as it looks now.

    What do you think of Smith's dismissal yesterday? Playing no shot it almost looked as though he'd had enough and wanted off.

    He was probably in shock. He shouldn't have been allowed to resume his innings.

    Rumours that Smith is out with concussion. Rules mean he might also have to miss the next Test.

    Strikes me as a bit anomalous where you can have a fully participating replacement for a concussion injury but not for any other?

    3 down and no Smith. Could be tight!

    Certainly game on with just over 30 overs left.

    Yes and they can use them, they take about 40 minutes to fully work so I would get them on early. Don't want to have them 7/8 down and going off for bad light.

    I would still back the draw personally, but great momentum to take with us even if we don't win.

    Labuschagne's playing like he wants another game. Very assured.

    Archer's back on. Hope he's not being overbowled with another test starting this week...

    Because you lazy ****ers don’t post enough detail I’m monitoring it on the Telegraph

    Good updates


    “Sun's out again now. Leach bowls to Labuschagne, a full toss first ball after the break, and swept for four. He uses his feet now to drive for one, and a fifty - and that's a really gutsy and impressive knock from the man into the match as a concussion sub. His side were wobbling, and so was he, when Jofra Archer felled him second ball.

    Here it is then. The last roll of the dice. Jofra Archer is on for a last spell.”

    Bloody hell...did he get him?
