*Official* Fourth Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) 19-23 July

[Gnske]

Shocking over rate

Usman won't be the only one begging the ICC for their money soon.

 

[Qlder]

Halfway through the day and only 37 overs, so on target for 74 overs before the extra half hour

 

[Carlos]

think england should have picked Josh Tongue and not Anderson

Shocking over rate

Not helped by all the stoppages when Aussies decide to head the ball

 

[Carlos]

50 50 game so far. A partnership here could swing things the Aussies way similarly a couple of sticks and England right in it.

 

[CartyDurham]

There’s a horse called Bazball running at Bath 230 today

@ashley bach

it’s just won at 11/10, won by 2 lengths Money for nothing and your chicks for free

I remain convinced that Head survives on luck for the first 30 odd balls of his innings. He clearly had no luck during his County Cricket stint, but he's been getting plenty since.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Anderson's currently taking a wicket every 176 deliveries this series.

 

[CartyDurham]

Need one of those Aussie collapses or this score will go over 350

That’s just how he plays. He gets through like 25-30 balls looking dog**** then sometimes turns into a white garry sobers. It’s bizarre

This spell here is typical - tight, consistent, probing, doesn't really look like getting a wicket unless the batsman makes a huge error.

He's been unlucky today. Broad has a wicket and has bowled utter ****e.

 

[Silver Silva]

For someone that has 600 + wickets. Being starved of wickets like this must be really frustrating..

 

[CartyDurham]

Shot straight by head is my favourite to see

 

[social]

Feels like Australia has dominated for most of the day but still only 163/3

 

[Burgey]

Only bowled 44 overs tbf

England aren't very good at bowling quick over rates ..So the game can drag .

 

[CartyDurham]

Said early if Australia bat through today. , at worst they will draw this match

England going to need someone to produce a magic spell of three or four wickets to stay in this game

 

[Molehill]

Head doesn't seem to have an edge to his bat, uncanny ability to either find the middle or miss it entirely.

 

[CartyDurham]

Ah Ponting back on comms. After 2 balls he declared Warner looked in good form.

please do the same with this two Ricky
