*Official* Third Test (Headingley, Leeds) 6–10 July

[CartyDurham]

Don’t think the spells today took much out of wood . That Marsh innings was fantastic but it was so quick that it didn’t take the game away too much from England

 

[CartyDurham]

they have lost 2 in 10. will be all out in 50 if they keep this up

You are a bit fruity today .

 

[ripper868]

If England bat for 90 overs, they are looking to be over 200 lead at the current rate

Sure but lose wickets at the same rate and its bowled out for 250

 

[MW1304]

Why have we shortened our lineup on a surface like this? That lower-middle order is chancey as hell.

 

[CartyDurham]

Sure but lose wickets at the same rate and its bowled out for 250

I’m England and looking at the positive

 

[Coronis]

England have yet to bat for 90 overs in an innings this series.

 

[91Jmay]

Don't need to bat for 90, 70 should have us with a very useful lead.

 

[trundler]

English bowlers must've been shite in 1902

 

[Shri]

You are a bit fruity today .

"today"

 

[CartyDurham]

It’s only about 2 hours since Australia were 240 for 4 with marsh not out over a ton

can’t believe we are now in the position England are

Because our bowlers are made of paper.

 

[Coronis]

Don't need to bat for 90, 70 should have us with a very useful lead.

Going off their natural progression compared to Australian innings, 45 looks more likely.

 

[91Jmay]

Is this an abnormal about of no balls for a series? Can't work out whether it is recency bias but it seems a daft amount thus far.

 

[loterry1994]

Enjoy the win England

 

[CartyDurham]

Enjoy the win England

Not falling for this

 

[loterry1994]

Not falling for this

id be surprised if they throw this position this time
But didn’t think aus would make 260 after lunch as well

 

[CartyDurham]

Down hill run at marsh’s end but he shouldn’t be that far over really

Well we went through a few years where the only no balls called were those that took wickets.

 

[CartyDurham]

Will we see Murphy before close ?

im all for bespectacled bowlers

 

[91Jmay]

Dickie Bird looking well for 90.
