the issue for me is the same old same old (but new batsmen) dont seem to get the basics of test cricket.

the past 3 days this ball has moved under lights so now you dig in and wait for the benign conditions in the morning.

none of them seem capable even if conditions are tough..

the difference.imo is day 1 end.failed to get into the Aussies under lights etc and the scored enough to declare. slaughter England under lights and then had enough that their own stupidity in not following on won't matter.

It would take a century from root and alli/Bairstow now to win this. it won't be drawn imo.

2 centuries? with one of them.exposed under the lights now? forget it.

Aussies have blown their reviews

England fans letting them know it every time too lol.

 

[Mr Beej]

Aussies have blown their reviews

They may also have blown the Test yesterday by not enforcing the follow on. Bowlers were probably tired but it was the perfect
time to bowl. To be fair England took advantage but it is still a big ask to win from here.

Interesting finale to this game. England need to stay 3 down by cop tonight. Time isn’t an issue, just need to take their time, not do anything silly, see off the 2nd new ball and make the Aussies tool in the field.

Theyll be feeling the presshre afe rbeing abead all game

 

[DirtyFrank]

Not bad....Root dug in.... halfway there for tomorrow.

 

[organic red]

Stumps........England 176-4......still need 178 tomorrow to take an unlikely victory......Aussies still favourites

Good days cricket, it goes to the 5th day. Huge in the context of the series

 

[InBiscanWeTrust]

Damn lost Malan.

Thrilling last day in store, were exactly half way there and 4 wickets down.

Need root to bat to the end really.

Easier said than done. I'd sooner 100+ from Root.

if they survive first 30 mins then they night be able to get runs before then lights come on.

It has to be done quick imo.
