:thinking about:I have tickets for Saturday so hoping it lasts that long

Lyon gets wickets in the same way Giles did, good pace attack behind him
Oppo target him try and whack him out the attack will sometimes work will sometimes mean he picks up the easiest wickets you will ever see!

I think you'll see the end not sure if it will be more than half a day at the minute though.

If England get a lead of 150 then I think this game is over. If the Aussies can bowl England out really cheaply, say a lead of 80-100 then they might just still be in the game.

Would expect a lead of 150 though by close of play today, if not more.

lifeskyblue · Jul 30, 2015

Certainly if England get a lead of 150+ they will put tremendous pressure on aussies

Damn & blast, this ain't no dream, normal service has been resumed
England 163 - for 5 wickets (37.4 overs)

Monners · Jul 30, 2015

Johnson is always likely to bounce a couple out. No need to panic - a 150 lead after 1st innings will put the pressure on the Aussies. They are cocky when they are on top, fragile when the pressure is on

Also, I think Bell should have little think to himself about playing for the team and not exposing the less experienced players this morning

Edit: Ditto Joe Root - without wishing to sound like Boycott: Brainless

Edit: Can't wait for the footie season to start!

Captain Dart · Jul 30, 2015

Start panicking - 182 - for 6 wickets (42.0 overs)

wingy · Jul 30, 2015

Good bowling conditions this morning.

I_Saw_Shaw_Score · Jul 30, 2015

Somehow bat til an hour after lunch and scrape a 120 lead

Down to this pair with Broad next and 2 11's in Finn & Anderson

lifeskyblue · Jul 30, 2015

So unpredictable. This game finely balanced. Another 50 for England might just be good enough

Creeping forward thanks to Moheen
221 - for 7 wickets (56.0 overs)
England are leading by 85 runs at lunch.

lifeskyblue · Jul 30, 2015

140 ahead. Shame broad out. He and Ali were doing fantastic

145 lead. Should have been more though, but next session til tea will see if it's enough

lifeskyblue · Jul 30, 2015

Yes you are right. Another 50-70 and I would have been happy. I hope we can take couple wickets before tea

Any updates, stuck at work.

chiefdave · Jul 30, 2015

Aus 69-2 at the moment

Monners · Jul 30, 2015

Aus 73-2 at tea from 15 overs. Warner on 56 from 37 balls, Clarke on 2 but struggling. Aus 72 behind

lifeskyblue · Jul 30, 2015

Another 2 wickets final session and we should be ok

Agreed - Clarke just gone, and if Warner goes next then we ought to be ok

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Jul 30, 2015

The way things are going at the moment it could all be over tomorrow.

lifeskyblue · Jul 30, 2015

Excellent. Come on England. At this rate chief IT WILL be over tomorrow

Interesting post on the BBC feed. 38 overs to go today, couple of quick wickets and England might start thinking about a 2 day win.

Certainly possible but unlikely I think as I suspect we will need to bat again. But who knows as you say with a couple more quick wickets

Not dreaming mate - Finn gets Marsh. Aus 92 - 5

lifeskyblue · Jul 30, 2015

Crazy crazy game. First test England win easily....will the Aussies ever recover? 2nd test England mauled...will they ever recover? 3rd test Aussies on the ropes

Monners · Jul 30, 2015

Warner gone - 6 down. Looks like it will finish today. Johnson in now - should be fun

oakey · Jul 30, 2015

Oh well, at least I get my £90 x 2 back.

Monners · Jul 30, 2015

Glad my Oval tickets are for Day 1!

lifeskyblue · Jul 30, 2015

Haha monners. But don't blink or you might miss a wicket or two

Jimmy doesn't look in a good way any sort of strain he will deffo be out the next test, if him & Woof aren't fit Chris Rushworth should play but i bet they go for Plunkett.
