Raining heavy and very gloomy in N Manchester, showers seem to be avoiding the real OT.
I’m sorry mate but that’s bollocks. You’re talking nearly 80 overs there.Can’t afford to lose more than 2 wickets until after lunch tomorrow.
If we bat out today and tomorrow we will have scored more runs than the Aussies and they’ll need to bat for longer than 1 session to put the game out of reach. They’d have to bat until nearly tea time on Monday.Realistically England need to make roughly 350-400 and bat out tomorrow as well.
Force the Aussies to bat a session on Sunday to put the game out of our reach and then we need to bat solidly for two sessions.
Would be a good result and who knows, Smith could do a McGrath and step on a cricket ball before the final test

So what you’re saying is that if we’re 375-5 (3 wickets down rather than 2 and using the current run rate) that we’re in trouble!?!
If we get to 375-5 I’ll have my cock in hand at how well we’re doing.
A 6 day test match?If we bat out today and tomorrow we will have scored more runs than the Aussies and they’ll need to bat for longer than 1 session to put the game out of reach. They’d have to bat until nearly tea time on Monday.
Game finished on Sunday I think swp?If we bat out today and tomorrow we will have scored more runs than the Aussies and they’ll need to bat for longer than 1 session to put the game out of reach. They’d have to bat until nearly tea time on Monday.
Very very slim. If we bat through all day tomorrow we may just nudge ahead.Quite enjoying this. Quick question look in at the fact we are on day 3 - what chance do we have of winning for are we just trying to get a draw?
Only chance we win is we get a lead of 100 and the Aussies collapse in their second innings leaving us a gettable total.Quite enjoying this. Quick question look in at the fact we are on day 3 - what chance do we have of winning for are we just trying to get a draw?
Ha. Sunday. (Which is my Monday as it’s the first day of the working week. Been here seven years and still get the day’s wrong)A 6 day test match?
