Thrown away too many wickets when we didn't have to push it that hard.

Broad got away with that there. Daft shot

 

I am all for the attacking way we play, but there has to be a bit of balance. Brilliant watch though

 

This woman commentating!! “Just short of…” it was rolling by the time it got there ffs!

 

Not looking good atm, need 350, cannot see it!

 

Anywhere around 300 and the Aussies won't chase it down in my opinion.

It would be one of their biggest run chases in ashes history

 

Only one team ever made more than 285 4th inning at edgebaston. And only 2 have won needing more than we have now

 

Woah Jimmy Jimmy…..

 

Dunno why Stokes doesn't like watching Jimmy Anderson bat - I think he's batting great!

 

When Moeen got out I thought it was game over but Robinson, Broad and Jimmy have kept us in the game. 280+ won't be easy, especially with an overcast day tomorrow

 

Just having fun. They both are! And that’s what you want. No point telling a tail ender to try to survive and tire them. Just go out and “Devon Malcolm” it

 

281 to win then. I'd consider Australia favourites, but it won't be easy

 

It wont be enough mind....but it will set the series up!

 

Good to hear. Let's see how we manage the game

 

I wouldn't be that emphatic. Aussies won't have had many higher chases

 

1 run short of the 2005 Edgbaston total......

 

They'll chase it down...it's what they do.
Move on to Lords...sort out where Bairstow plays and go from there.

 

If we can keep them to say 130 for 2 or 3. I'd fancy us to clean up tomorrow when the conditions really go in our favour.

 

Couple of Aussies out tonight and it really is game on.

Be curious what the Aussies do, cloud and humid conditions meant to be around tomorrow suits our bowlers

 

Well down to the bowlers now, hope Ali's fit enough to bowl

 

Not convinced it will be that straight forward. Naturally we need to get through that middle order as Smith and Mini-Smith could take the game away
