Has there ever been a more boring test than this, and has there ever been a worse test spin bowler them Leach ? Not counting Bess obviously. Wood has beaten the bat fir the 400th time this series and Root is getting thicker by each test, very generously bringing back Leach for 1 over before tea so Khawaja could get his ton in his first innings for 2 years ! The wicket is pathetic, more up and down bounce after 80 overs than what you usually get on a day 5 wicket. Australia to get bear 400, England to be booked out for 150. Rain to wash out day 4 then England bowled out for 110 on day 5. Thank god I don't have to watch any more of this dross, it's like watching a boxset of Casualty ffs

Going into day three without having lost a wicket! Outstanding!

I like to thank the Australian bowlers for their kindness in not taking 3 wickets last night and also donating us a few extras. Very sporting.

It's the Pink Test and virtual seats are sold for charity. If there isn't a match the seats are harder to sell so it needs to keep going for the 5 days. Over $2,000,000 raised so far.

I heard there is a legal challenge to the validity of their visas. Several members of the squad have been accused of making false statements on their visa applications, they claimed to be cricketers.

I do beg your pardon and wish to convey my humble apologise to you all if I have caused offence.



Shame they managed to drop Usi twice from one ball, before he went on to make 137

What a crazy incident. Stokes gets a ball from Green around off stump and lifts his bat to let it go. The ball passes by, inches from his pad, and through to the keeper. But there'd been a loud noise. The Aussies appeal and umpire Reiffel raises his finger, but what's he been given out for? On appeal by Stokes, the replay shows the ball clattering into off stump, but the bails staying on. Not out of course, but what on earth were the Aussies appealing for and how could Reiffel give it out?

England now 88-4 with an unbeaten 50 partnership between Stokes and Bairstow.

We can still win this.
 
135-4 at Tea, with the partnership between Stokes and Bairstow standing at 99.

Only another 300 to get to match their record partnership against South Africa.
