Do we want to get them out tonight? Don't fancy batting in this

Try bowling at the stumps instead of trying to bounce them out they are getting valuable runs.

Bowl at the stumps you get wickets.we have given them about 30 odd runs.

Are we batting tonight? If so can we at least keep it to 2 wickets

Be very disappointed if England didn’t win this test from here if I’m honest

Doable this chase. Hopefully Root anchors and lets others play the aggressor. Needs one good innings - each innings so far has had only the one 50+ score. Is that Root drop of Marsh going to haunt them???

Would’ve taken chasing 220 odd with ten wickets remaining at start and snapped your hand off when it was just stokes left in our first innings. Having said that, we’ve found numerous ways to let good positions slip in the ashes so far though so can’t get too excited !

Need openers to put a few on to take the sting out the Aussies

Brook clearly isn't happy at 3, could of moved root there but he is better at 4.

Ali at 3 worked well then. Just see off Cummins & Starc.

Ali at 3 was fine, it didn't work but Brook wasn't the answer there and we've not wasted a frontline batter

Agree, got to see off these pair. They must be getting tired soon. Only had a three day turnaround from last test

Time (weather) is against us. We need to get a shake on. Haven't got time to wear the bowlers down.

Weather not looking great for Finals day next week either, don't think the entire weekend has ever been a washout but that could be on the cards this year

This should be relatively straightforward from here but there's always that feeling that if one goes two or three could go very quickly and you've suddenly gone from 125-3 to 140-6
