That over might help

He’s a very good player bound to be nervous though. Looked great first innings but was very unlucky, freak wicket.

Cummings also looking good though.

Yep brilliant over there, shut me right up.

Same with Duckett and Crawley though, if they can get over the initial wobblys they have and get to 25 or so runs they can settle in for 50s easily

Shame that, was a good partnership. At least it's been productive. Need these two to stay in till lunch and push the lead up towards 200.

But so were all the ramps etc, it’s why we’ve got 130 after 26 overs. Under Silverwood we’d have been grinding it out, Aussies would have fielders all round the bat and we’d probably be 65 for 5. It’s frustrating but got to take the rough with the smooth

ps that’s not to say we won’t have a shocking collapse at some stage, got to happen the way we play

Yeah, need us to bat until tea at least really. Not sure it’ll happen though

Luckily Smith looking amazed again there, I'd be very worried if we'd lost Bairstow just before lunch.

Also need a big one from Stokes. He’s played himself in today so fingers crossed

You could see the thought process behind it though. If we lose it will be down to the numerous drops and no ball wicket rather than the early declaration.

*I was saying to mates at the game that I’d have given Rooty one more slogging over myself but

Ideally we get to tea with a lead of 250 minimum but preferably nearer 300. Put them in for the last session or some of it at least, then it depends how much play we get tomorrow because the conditions will be in our favour.

If they get a 240 lead they have done well from this spot of bother.

Has to be a balance between Bazball and your last recognised batsman nursing the tail.

Didn't expect us to get near 280 ahead I'll be honest. If it's as rainy/cloudy as it says tomorrow we're very much in this.

Im the same. Would’ve been nice to eke out 300 but Robinson did well there to get us close ish. Need early wickets tho !

It’s only the speed we’ve played at that’s made a result possible, could end up biting us on the arse but can’t really complain about the entertainment

Is the Winviz just the in game state? Don’t see how it can be 1% draw with the weather forecasted

Could all revolve around how Moeen bowls - can't give away as many boundary balls as he did in the first innings. And can't waste as many chances as they did in 1st innings either.

Yeah, I was thinking that. All you need is a bit more rain to hang around and a massive chunk of tomorrow could be off. Knowing our luck it will be bright sun and plenty of play if Aussies are on top or pissing it down if we’ve got a them a few wickets down !

Just saying the same to mates. Very un Jimmy like ! Loads off hips and too short. Maybe one of reasons Bairstow didn’t react to nick was cos the previous 3-4 were going down leg (no excuse though)
