Lyon fucked?

Have been busy last 2 days but if I'd have been posting I would have been saying that our bowlers aren't good enough and that this is a shit show.

Still think a draw may be a good result in the end though.

The pitch and conditions haven't offered as much as many expected, and the Australians are struggling as much as their English counterparts. The odds apparently favour England, slightly, but I would be laying my shilling on a draw.

Blimey is this the Glenn McGrath Lords 2005 moment with Lyons potential injury?

Win viz was all over the place in the first test. I reckon if Lyon can’t bowl again that’s a big move in our favour

Unlucky Lynoooo

Duckett needs to put the hook shot away.

why is he chasing the ball let it go

Lyon fucked?

Doesn't look good for him. Smith to bowl some leggies?

Worried someone is going to sky one in a minute.

We can see what the Aussies are trying to do so stop Fcukjng trying to hit the bouncer

If England can manage to get the lead <200 with Root, Brook, Bairstow still to come, you'd have to say they're in control.

It would be a terrible pity if he's unable to return. Game is going to be dreadfully dull if we have three days of seamers flogging themselves on this track.

Why is Pope moving around all over the place all of a sudden?

Steve Smith is the new Shane Warne

You have to go back 20 years to find the last time an English spinner outperformed their Australian counterpart on an Ashes tour Down Under. Back in the 1990-91 series – when Australian dominance over England was still in its infancy – Phil Tufnell picked up 10 wickets while Greg Matthews took...

Indeed. The Australians were 198 went they lost their third wicket. Duckett is nearing his century and that might be when confidence lapses, but he's already scored 182 (vs Ireland) and 177 (vs Middlesex) this summer at Lord's, so he seems to enjoy it there.

Enjoying this fightback but Bet365 odds for England 8/11 on and Aus 5/2 seem way off to me. Still 220 runs behind.

Probably wants to protect his head. :-)

Lyon fucked?

I did exactly the same thing 4 weeks ago bowling. Down like a sack of shit. Calf tear. Bastard of an injury, they take ages to sort as well. Wouldnt wish it on even an Aussie

Maybe Labuschagne as well.

As you were saying! Your fault!!

FFS how predictable was that?!
