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

[Gob]

Hahaha just as they walk off, it goes overcast

3 chances that could've very easily gone to slips there so I don't think the openers did anything brilliant there, Nas. Just lucky though you do need that to survive in these conditions.

This test is cooked unless weather makes it a draw tbh.

It's going to take some terrible batting (and a Stokes mankad) for Aus to win this from here.

No chance of draw still 2 days left and not more than 2 sessions game is left..

 

[Calm_profit]

that's reality

Yeah but it depends on the weather as well

Tomorrow is going to be one interesting day.

God helps eng

Just watching Crawley and Duckett walking off - have to concede that I'd much rather see them than Burns and Sibley - perhaps I've been too harsh on them, Crawley in particular

 

[Gob]

250 is a decent score tbh. Certainly won't be as easy as it's being mentioned here

 

[loterry1994]

Australia can only pray for the rain now

 

[subshakerz]

It is weird because 30 years ago, an attack like Australia would almost certainly be favorites in this situation.

I don’t believe win viz personally. My winviz has this 45-55 to England as it stands

the weather looks spot on up to 5pm

blue skies sunshine has been programmed into the Leeds matrix

224 needed and that if England are to win, should be enough time before the rain comes

Northish England - Rain can set in for weeks sometimes. especially in summer.

But yep, this has result tomorrow all over it, will be a miracle for Aus, should be a cakewalk for England

 

[Socerer 01]

Cummins should be rested for 4th test and Neser should play

lol winvizs seems like it’s drawn from a hat. The only accurate thing to look at is betting odds lol

Not a cakewalk but yeah Eng have more chance to get this and make this series more interesting.

England 2/7

draw 40/1

Australia 11/4

at my bookie. I’m nearly tempted to put a little more on Australia as I cannot see this being a stroll to a win , the way this series is playing out

 

[Saket1209]

No he should play the 4th test, win the ashes and then can rest for the final test.

How can captain will rest unless they are winning?

 

[CartyDurham]

I was watching a game at Old Trafford last night and the outfield and square surroundings looked rock hard

there is a little break post this game for any minor injuries to clear up

can’t see Cummins not play personally

It's as if the bookies haven't seen England bat this series. I can see Australia winning this.
