They'll make a decent start, look like they might do it for a bit then end up 50 or so runs short.

Ok. Not bad. Respect to the bowlers. But actually, from the start of this series, the bowlers have not been the major problem. Australia have not made huge scores with the bat.
Now. The only way England gets near this score is if the two openers get a decent amount of runs as a foundation, so that the middle order isn't having to bail out England's innings all the time. I'm not talking about centuries either (let's not hallucinate). A couple of fifties would do it.

Well at least our openers are playing positive and not letting them settle! Something we should of been doing from the start of the series.

Gone into one day mode. Still a session and a half left and if they're close they can ask for an extra half an hour

Shame it took this long

Right way to think! How many overs left in the day? 50?

I just woke and saw the score, oh wait a minute, i must be dreaming

All good stuff so far.
Still waiting for the inevitable but at least there’s hope and fight.
271 is a big ask batting last.

I know this is probably what will happen but they’re 64/0.

Australia were 63/6!

I think this pink ball day/night match is a bit funny, it’s OK batting in the middle of the day, and treacherous in the morning and evening.

More serious, solid start than anything we've seen throughout the series. Now, let's see where this goes.
