Im quite shocked we havent gone at them very much in this session. With the forecast if we want to win we need to race ahead as much as possible and start bowling at them from Lunch tomorrow

end the day 60 ahead. Go for it before lunch. Wear the pitch down further. That Root dismissal will have sent a shudder through a few batsmen. Don't lose silly wickets now and have 2 established batsmen from the off tomorrow. Wet weather going to increase the possibility of some swing for the likes of Anderson & Woakes.

Cummins really is having a poor series as a skipper though.

Agreed. Variable bounce and ball wasn’t coming on as quick. Aussies protecting boundaries as well.

Had a fair amount of rain overnight but currently not raining less than a mile from the ground, sun is trying to break through the clouds.

I think this beautiful English summer will thwart the England fight back.

Negative approach. Take time out the game. Playing to not lose.
But that new ball move should encourage Stokes to declare now.

Yep but also they've gone in really with only 3 bowlers. Green, Marsh really aren't much. No real spin option. Cummins has just sat back and let England get themselves out throughout most of this series

Australia need to get Bairstow out, he's making a mockery of test cricket.

AHH Jimmy. Still a great knock though.
Bowlers have got to step up now. Make the most of the new ball.

Disappointing as we will go into the last test 2-1 down when we should be 3-1 up

Figured it was worth the risk, can get from my sofa to my seat in half hour if they decide they can fit some in. If not I'll take the refund.

Tuned into the Sky coverage to see how it's looking and they're playing golf. Would rather they were just talking about rain.
