Well that was a shocker! From joy to despair. Not too much happening but there's hope that with a bit of spin we might be able to take the required wickets. It's 80-20 in Australia's favour though. Hopefully we take a couple of quick wickets and make it interesting again.
 
Could this rain interruption create a 30-40 over shoot out ? Seems the only way we could win it really, I have no doubt England would have a pop if the roles were reversed. The Aussies don’t have to bite, but with Head at the crease they just might, Get Smith early & create panic
 
Great drama with that chance. The initial desperate cheer, the silence awaiting the review, the appreciation that he’d gloved it cheer, the silence that something might be wrong, and then the dawning realisation that he’d dropped it. Even Stokes then spitting and it landing on his chin added to the calamity.

Nothing to do be gained for the Aussies in having a go, they're already ahead in the series. They'll be desperate to hold on to that lead, seeing as it's been over 20 years since they last won in England. Can't see them risking losing that.

Its one of those things that sounds fake isn't it but yeah its actually true. He was our best bowler in the vast majority of those defeats in fairness.
 
It’s amazing what that one potential wicket has done to the feel of the game & potential result, had Stokes of taken the catch clean, we’d all be anticipating England really turning the screw, as it is, it’s all a bit flat, yet we could take two wickets in the first over

Play restarting in 10 minutes' time. We'll have 52 overs to get the Aussies out (37 overs, plus the final hour). On the other hand, they've got 52 overs to get 146 runs to win.

It’s a teaser at least, very reachable target, we may as well go all out with the field settings
