What a day....389 runs and Broad announcing his retirement..... just need him and Jimmy to get 5 fers tomorrow and I think we could file this series as one of the great series..... 2-2 still wouldn't feel right but would at least be a reflection of how well England have played and the fact that they played to win from the outset in contrast to the aussies approach...... <whistle>

Not sure how I feel about Broad announcing his retirement mid match. Makes the rest of the game about him a bit, and it isn’t.

****ing hell the weather forecast has just turned apocalyptic, from about the moment I get there. Bars will do good business.

We Aussies were only too happy to acknowledge his efforts. They don;t come along too often.
Same goes for James Anderson.

"As Broad walked down the steps of the Bedser Stand he was greeted with a guard of honour from Australian players with whom he has locked horns so often in a career that has been defined by his success in the heat of many an Ashes battle."

Big ask to get 10 wickets on a lifeless pitch.....

Aussies slight favourites..... but biggest run chase at the oval is only 260 odd.... so they have to go way beyond that....

C'mon lads one last effort....

Can Broad find 1 last great spell ? Ali and Wood are key but neither are fit, usually pace and spin do the rick on the last day at the Oval. Maybe Root could bowl a few blinders and surprise them. Come on England find something
 
Huge appeal for lbw against Khawaja from Woakes. Mr clueless gives it not out. Correctly this time as it pitched outside leg. Alot more for the bowlers this morning. We desperately need some early wickets
