Overnight there has been light rain with a gentle breeze, it could be that showers may arrive around noon but there will be a fair amount of uninterrupted play, hopefully anyway.
The market has been pretty steady all week with England favourites @ 2.44, Australia 2.70 and the draw 4.50.
It would be a fitting finish, to me anyway, if England could level the series 2-2 and that's my punt.
Whatever does happen it has been a very entertaining Ashes Summer so far so let's hope for another enthralling match to round it off in style.

I was just thinking those slips were too close together. Shows how wrong one can be.
I've had a tidy day, too.
And this is the end this series warranted, however it rides in...

My dad's pacing the living room as he's on 2-2 whisp
He's literally doing his nut looking at the weather map and telling the tv to hurry up

I am greening out

Swept off middle there, risky cross-bat with a bit of dip
It's a very nice afternoon here Mo, lots of blue sky amongst the clouds.
yes some blue sky patches mixed with darker clouds coming your way too ha ha
all the best J I am out now.

Is bruv still perched on the hill and looking after the roses - super location
Bird commentary must have a vendetta against Crawley. Gave root and then duckett for catches taken by Crawley..hmmm
Right to get out of the draw after all although it is still possible.
Yes Mo, we had a lovely family get together yesterday in the pub garden.
The roast beef lunch was absolutely sublime mate.

If it was 2-2 coming intothis test it would have been for the ages!

Open top bus through the streets of London town.
Oh well, never mind. This is wonderful anyway and it has been an absolutely outstanding Ashes series. Unforgettable in fact.

Cmon broady..last ball six batting..last ball wicket..forever legend
If had been 2-2 this being the winner take all it would have been the best series for me personally, even topping 2005 as Ive appreciated it more this time
Its so frustrating it isnt a decider

No need to change the ball but if they are going to it might be as well do it now
Really though no point right now

difficult one..got this moving a bit still (probably as only 50 overs old) and Mo bowling quite well..new one might not do as much and probably means taking Mo off for at least a few overs...
and make sure the bowlers are very heavy footed in the right batting area hehe - I am wicked
Woakes, please. If he's not shot after eight on the spin.
Most threatening and most economical so far.

Well done again, JB. He's shown up there today.

Who knew...only need 1.4overs if you rotate the bails every time.
You know where you can stick 20/20.
This is proper cricket.

Even fiction writers would not suggest that you could change the bails and then take a wicket next ball-twice.

Probably couldn't write that a cricketer could hit his final delivery for six, and take a wicket with his final ball, either 
What a script
6 off his last ball of his last innings batting
2 wickets after changing the bails
Taking the last 2 wickets including his last ever ball of his career
Winning the Test Match, saving the series, stopping Aus winning their fist Ashes in England in 22 years!
What a finish!

incredible stuff...fitting end to a great series...well done Broady...
A drawn series probably fair I'd say
Weve been the better side 3rd and 4th tests but this one was pretty even first innings we had the weather 2nd innings
A fantastic series and they still haven't won here since Tony Blair was loved

Just an incredibly wonderful Ashes series, it had literally everything and it was compelling and enthralling viewing all Summer.
I absolutely loved it and it was excellent reading everyone's opinions and positions as well.

Well done Australia

This Australian attack was at the start of the series one of the finest and certainly the best in the World.
Lyon was undoubtably the turning point

This is the first Ashes test series I have ever watched and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Will certainly watch the next Ashes.
The next one is in Australia brigust and our record there since ive been a watcher is
4-1 5-0 1-3 (a very much a case of the exception to the rule) 5-0 4-0 4-0
The last two could have easily been 5 zip as well barring for weather and a lifeless wicket
Series down there are mainly one sided in the Australians favour

a reserve day in the 4th test would have brought a victory on the monday and probably a great comeback from 2-0 down to win the series 3-2.........
Over here we get belters, almost makes me feel sorry for the Aussies
Although they find satisfaction in giving us a good kicking so shouldnt feel to sorry for them

Thanks Son. The matches must be overnight then. Not sure about that, may have to wait the 4 years.
Yes starts around 12 midnight for four tests (Perth a bit later), so first session and bed
We usually just have to watch getting tonked and have to listen to crowing Aussies on the commentary

Sport is the best reality tv show there is and Cricket is our dirty little secret
Everybody who watched, listen or followed on the internet was enthralled yesterday.
Glad you enjoyed it brigust1!
Test Cricket has everything

Completely agree Whispering, it was an absolutely joyous series to behold.
Just a shame it's all over!
Anyway, Glorious Goodwood to occupy my mind this week instead.

im probably the only one in the world, but i thought the series was terrible, standard wise worse 2 teams ever to contest the ashes 
No Elis,
Standards were not at their highest this true but as a contest it was exciting. 2005 is still the high point and 1981 for me was my favourites but this series is up there. It was not a terrible series but I do agree standards have fallen.

The fact that there were mistakes made it all the more compelling .. it was a great series to watch and has left people wanting more which is surely the way to best help test cricket to survive
You probably are Elisjohn!
There's always one isn't there.
Tut tut.

This 100 thing is entertaining enough. My cricket knowledge is limited, but such are the swings in prices in this tourney that trading seems quite easy. Just wait until one team is about 1.2 or less and lay them. As soon as they start chucking wickets away the price balloons up again. A naive approach maybe, and might not work every time, but was successful yeterday and is working again tonight.
this for me was like watching all football matches played without a goalkeeper and defo no defence and games finishing 32 31 , but i probably hated the series after backing the 2-1 correct series score at around 28/1 before 4 test

joe root looks very out of sorts and is likely to give his wicket away here.
