I’m sorry mate but that’s bollocks. You’re talking nearly 80 overs there.

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.

Underestimated how many overs there was before tomorrow lunch, but still these next two sessions are key. Can’t afford to lose many wickets or else it puts it on a plate for them.

Cummins is looking dangerous here....

To stand any chance of an incredibly unlikely victory, someone like Roy, Stokes or Buttler would have to smash a hundred in quick time. We’d probably need to score 550 plus (at a relatively decent run rate) and then bowl Australia out for under 150. It’s not going to happen.

Christ I hadn’t seen that it broke his box in half before. Jesus.

Forget the win, I'd be more than happy with the draw.

Typical early september day in Manchester. Everyone in the crowd securely wrapped up in their coats.

As would I. It was an indirect response to an earlier comment. :)

Root 66 lol

What a spell by Cummings, unbelievable that he didn’t take a wicket.

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Wonder if and when bad light will come into effect, floodlights been on for a while

 

[SWP's back]

Bollocks. Watch the wheels come off now.

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Oh no, Roy to come out now, if he gets out this evening I hope he never bats in a test match again

 

[hcblue95]

Roy looks like he's won a raffle to play.

I’d love to hit smith right on the fuckin nose with a cricket bat.

 

[Ban-jani]

Fuck sake

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

We need a 100 partnership off these two now

 

[Dr Jacoby]

We might get bowled out for under 250 now :(

 

[hcblue95]

Root lacks the bottle to do match saving/ winning hundreds under pressure. Stokes is the only one you'd back really in the england team.

 

[Neville Kneville]

You could see both batsmen losing concentration there.

Very disappointing that neither looked like they had the mentality to see it through after being in for so long.
