It was very harsh mind. You could look at that a hundred times and not be certain. It's a blade of grass job.
But, like missed penalties...

This innings is massive. England have to dominate and get 100+ lead. We should get some play tomorrow, but Sat likely wiped out so we need to be in a position to skittle the Aussies early on Sunday and chase down whatever target they set. Of course they will play for the draw and hope the weather wins them the Ashes
They picked their team for the draw. Long batting line up to take time out of the game (imo anyway). Regardless of what they say. It looks like a team picked to bat for a long time rather than to score quickly.
Agree - reminds me of 2005 when we replaced the injured Simon Jones with the express pace of Paul Collingwood
Does anybody else think that we might be watching Jimmy's last test?
He's bowled tidily as ever without being overly threatening - I can see Tongue coming in for him in the last test and the next test after that is not until January and it is India away.
He still needs 19 more wickets to reach Shane Warne's total and 11 to get to 700 so he may think to himself where better to finish than on his home ground in an Ashes test.

Simon Jones was superb when fit. So he wasn’t superb very often! Loved watching him bowlAgree - reminds me of 2005 when we replaced the injured Simon Jones with the express pace of Paul Collingwood
Hopefully we’ll have Archer fit as he’s the future for pace. He’s silly fast much like wood. Admit I’m guilty of not watching enough cricket to know any different
A foot further towards mid on and it’s four!! Just one of those things
Great innings. Let’s get a lead of 70-100 then put them back in.
Just seen a guy with his Sunderland shirt on in the crowd

Great afternoon to watch Australia not knowing how to curtail the English batters...brilliant.
Yep. Just hasn't got the zip now. Only human.
But I'd like him to be remembered for all the years of greatness rather than struggling at the end.
It looks like Saturday and Sunday could be a washout. I’d be happy declaring with a 50 run lead. We need as much time to bowl at them as possible, they’ll be pulling the shutters up when batting. I’d rather lose giving us every chance than watch the game play out to a bore draw.
Drawing and losing is the same end result. We don’t regain the Ashes.
