Only 4 hours play possible, if eng keep better Length this test 91% ends in Draw. Rain Around same time as yesterday but last 2 hours will be better weather

their coach said wood and Ali still a bit banged up. Not sure how much they’ll bowl but Aus will be more than happyif Root bowls 15 plus overs today

Still don’t see the draw happening unless Australia forces it early

tbf If I was a professional athlete at the highest level who go out and face Mark Wood etc and walking off the ground after a taxing days play only for a old fat slob to stand few feet away and yell boring at you over and over, I'd be tempted to punch the **** out of that prick

I mean yeah but he just stood behind security crying at him. Guess the bloke hadn't served in the crimean war though so he didn't fancy stepping up to him without a "hold me back, hold me back" routine

Big night for sport! Especially for a Monday.

In this series the only good guys are the 2 ex-spinners in the coaching teams

I think Starc has been pretty pleasant. Only took 23 wkts in 4 tests when he could have played 5 and taken 30 if he wanted

My subject was winning which is 263 after eng were 48/5 wow!

 

[slippy888]

Looks draw Australia wont attempt to chase target in 60 overs

 

[social]

their coach said wood and Ali still a bit banged up. Not sure how much they’ll bowl but Aus will be more than happyif Root bowls 15 plus overs today

Root is better than 23 Mo

 

[OverratedSanity]

Why can they just not start at like 9 am or something ffs this is going to get rained out again

 

[Gob]

Get the feeling Broad is going to bowl one of those clinical spells

 

[TheJediBrah]

Can't see too much reverse around with a wet outfield

England either going to have to bowl immaculate stump to stump and hope for some variable bounce, or go full Wagner-ball with a stacked leg-side field

 

[Andy19]

If Australia blocks out a session draw becomes very likely.

Australia only need Bat in defence to for session and half to save this test match.

Field would be wet as hell with the dew at 9. 10/10.30 probably fine though. Tests used to start here at 10.30 pre-Sky having the rights. Also I didn’t see any of it but didn’t the WTC final start at 10.30?
