I was being optimistic

Maybe 2 left after this one then. At a push 3

Hate this strategy against Marsh the lesser. Pitch up ffs he's a nick off merchant and he isn't dumb enough to hook one

 

[CartyDurham]

For a second I thought that was a c and b

getting too excited

Some may grumble about the non declaration, but what an incredible 3 days of cricket by this England side.

One more then into 2 seriously out of nick players and a fairly meh tail to follow. Marnus the key prize. He's randomly got himself out this series so maybe a quick Mo over isn't worst shout ever

Tbf the later declaration means they can't possible get close to us and give us an annoying chase where they just waste time

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

I bet they fixed the hover cover btw

We were completely right to post the score we did. Arguments we could have put our foot down a bit earlier this morning (Brook) but really very little to moan about. Scoreboard pressure is real as long as we get a session and a half in the next 2 days we'll win this.

Forecast looks super grim now though.

Very cool from Anderson. More times than he’s got wickets this series.

Always felt 275 would be a hell of a job for Australia to get much ahead or level

this pitch is going up and down and I’m convinced would spin

two dodgy weather days but if there is around 60 overs available I feel that could be enough

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Better from Mo

 

[CartyDurham]

Great watch today obviously as an England fan but this is classic test match cricket

love it

Even 45 overs with break would be enough.

This will go down to the wire I think

 

[91Jmay]

Got to wait for Met Office to narrow the forecast sometime tomorrow to see what Sunday brings. The Google ones are imprecise as ****, Met office narrows it to individual hours later in piece

 

[GIMH]

Forecast getting worse and worse, but surely 40-50 overs will be possible. That should be enough, especially under grey skies

Duckett's face is like as if a bus ran over it.

 

[Saket1209]

Worst test match for Cummins

 

[loterry1994]

Marsh funny enough is the only guy I’m confident that can play wood well.
