Yeah I was WRONG calling for Jonny to attack with gusto, Woakes has been solid enough, worthy but dull .

Think I have layed Aus after every Eng wicket both innings, done it again at 1.35 Moeen.

14s to bat 42 more overs isn't a bad bet by any means.

When I bought the draw at 14 it was for a trade and I thought a bad bet. Now it's hardly moved despite 13 very obdurate overs of resistance I think buying it at 11.5 or so is a great bet. Some large lumps of money have kept it artificially high, I think. Of course, even if England bat all day, the draw is hardly a certainty as they aren't scoring quickly and even if they set 280 in 80 overs, they could bowl Aus out. I think it's a very generous price though, which is actually irritating as I had a massive draw green already and this just means I can't easily sell what I have off, because the prices feel wrong.

It had just started to go too! I had lays at 9.2 and 9 it missed. Can't see it recovering now.

Johnny will need to get a ton to give us a chance, big ask with Broad et al

I don't get all the dislike of Broad's batting. He's clearly got a good enough eye and technique to do better than he does but he does contribute sometimes and his test average is over 20. You'd not be wild about him at 8 but he's a plausible enough 9 and certainly better than Ball and Anderson.

huge ask but stranger things have happened

That's terrible batting, I'm afraid. They had a fielder for exactly that shot.

Well, very small win this test, could easily have been a decent one with a touch more luck. Didn't look like a wicket would fall for any money only two overs ago but that's the game, of course and why so few tests are drawn.

Hope Broad takes a few with him with the bat, then might just do something amazing with the ball.

I know he was with the tail but he guided it to the man! I wouldn't mind if he'd had a huge heave trying to square cut it for 6 and got a top edge but that was horrific.

2 wickets in the last over before tea, wank

10/1 on to chase 170, looks a tad short

This is problem of trading on day 5, you become completely stranded when getting on the draw for some tick trading under 20's

Always likely to be a quick finish once Woakes out but I had some vague hopes of Bairstow and Broad thrashing the bowling everywhere.

Which is why I tell myself not to do it but I usually do anyway! It's day 4, by the way but the point still holds.

Lost their final 4 wickets for 10 runs and final 5 for 40 runs, final 6 contributed about 70. Not going to win tests with constant collapses like that. Got to hope the bowlers can get early wickets to pressurise them a little.
