I think the new ball will be more critical. Realistic we need another 300 runs as the pitch is still good. We certainly need to bat time. If they are batting by tea tomorrow it will be game over.
Possible deterioration in the pitch and cloud by mid afternoon Sunday and England have a winning chance to move things quickly. Another 300 seems an awful long way away but staying at the crease is the task in the morning the runs can wait |

By:
Well played England. Took guts and a great performance from the two lads. What a cracker of a first test.
|
|
By:
you see it a lot a big partnership and then all change next morning especially with the new ball due after 45 mins. india were like 300 for 2 at headingley (?) then bowled out before lunch next day
they're all big sessions but if england could somehow get to lunch 320 for 3 then the pressure would switch somewhat and this australia side not exactly unknown for giving away strong positions |
|
By:
will only be a cracker TMB if Eng can carry on in the same vein for a lengthy period
o/wise will turn into a damp squib and a facile win for your boys but it has defo lit a torch under the match which was on cue for a slaughtering bit colder here than in frigging Brisbane esp in the wee hours ![]() |

I want the aussies to win but appreciate guts, stickability and bottle. England have kept themselves in a game they could easily have downed tools on.
|
|
By:
I expected them to down tools
If these two are still in at lunch ill believe they dig themselves a draw out of it |
|
By:
I don't think it will be a draw Sont's. Depends on the weather I guess oh and a little matter of us being 58 runs behind and still needing to score perhaps another 300 runs

By:
We’ll succumb with the new ball but make them bat again will be good
|
|
By:
Aussies will not be as strong without Hazlewood
Hes the best bowler in the series |

How good was the little english kid singing the songs of the barmy army. Brilliant and I hope he is an avid cricket fan for many years to come.

By:
Obviously saving him and Starc for the new ball

Great stuff Gary. Great figures. Above DK unbelievable.

By:
Lyon does well for a rat
Hell be off up the drain pipe now |
|
By:
Show some respect
|
|
By:
On the plus Stokes has a chance to okay himself in before the new ball. Big ask now for England
|
|
By:
If Lyon was a movie character hed be peter pettigrew/scabbers
|

By:
You have let yourself down there.

not on a flat pitch against a 2nd rate SL side and the lairy syrup kiwi needs to produce |

By:
Hes a nuisance thats all try my best
Nothing personal |

Hes bowling petrol bombs lyon

By:
Sonts the figures are superb. If it was an english bowler I would be praising him. This is the greatest game on earth. I know you want your team to win and so do I.

Game set and match

By:
Hard cheese on both overnight batsmen. Both missed out on deserved centuries. England still well short of setting Aus even a 150 target. Another 200 from here? These 2 need to see off the new ball. Day 4 wicket.

I think I would have Bstard in the side ahead of Pope at 6. He might become a hood player but clearly not there yet

Collapsed in a heap as expected just made everyone “believe” first
