What's the weather forecast for tomorrow?

Bit of rain about but should be a decent amount of play

Hopefully clouds stay and we roll them cheaply.

morning looks a bit doubtful but after lunch should see a good two sessions

If there is play tomorrow, Usman Khawaja will become the 13th batsman in Test Cricket History to bat all 5 days of a Test Match . Just the third player to do it in an Ashes Test after Sir Geoffrey Boycott in 1977 at Trent Bridge , and Kim Hughes at Lords in 1980.
Unbelievable achievement

Now that is a fantastic stat post

If Australia don't win this Test, England are going to roll them over for the remainder of the series.

Khawaja the only batter in the Top 4 who didn't seem phased.

 

[CartyDurham]

Because he is the most unsuccessful Ashes captain

I raise you nasser and Athers

The weather forecast for tomorrow looks horrible.

If it's even close to being correct, it's hard to see there being enough time for Australia to score another 174 runs. And there shouldn't be time for England to claim another 7 wickets, but maybe one good session might do it if the balls moving about in between the showers,

 

[CartyDurham]

Still can’t believe how easy Smith went

It certainly would be, and fair play to him. If I may be pedantic, Lord's in 1980 wasn't an Ashes test, so Khawaja would be the first Australian to do that.

Boland played a good cameo there if they put 15-20 more runs tommorow morning up front it’ll go a long way

 

[CartyDurham]

Sky have England fan Ponting to discuss the day

shame no Aussie was available

 

[loterry1994]

If this Match rains out for a draw would be the biggest anti climax to one the greater test matches in recent years

 

[CartyDurham]

Sod it

Australia 107 for 3

still need another 174

sorry for this post

Those guys were losing to nearly every side in the 90's especially Athers.
