The main thing from an England perspective is to get to the 5th test with the ashes still up for grabs. If we had 2 tests with 5 days of beautiful weather in each, it would be difficult to imagine Aus not wining one.

Not great if you have tickets, but you can't do anything about it. Just have a good drink.

It’s bloody freezing now and pissing down.
I have tickets for Thursday.
I reckon we’ll be lucky to get half a day.

I’ve got tickets for Thursday too, fingers crossed

The forecast for tomorrow is decent and there shouldn't be much, if any, time lost. Today is more hit and miss but it's currently bright sunshine here in Trafford Park

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

En route. Weather seems to be improving. Chance of a couple of stoppages, but should get most of the day in.

Come on England!

Got tickets for saturday but the forecast changes every ten minutes

 

[Neville Kneville]

I've got tickets for Sunday, so I'm going Brexit on this & hoping we lose enough play on the other days, to ensure play on Sunday.

Australia win the toss and bat. 320-2 at close then!

 

[Ric]

Get in! Warner’s having a nightmare series here.

[foetus]

Just changed the channel and realised the test started today. Good to see Warner getting another big score

Archer has been woeful thus far. He’s barely hitting 80mph.

 

[TheRemainsOfTheDave]

Bad review that.






Lol.

Saving his speed for this guy.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Saving his speed for this guy.

I fucking hope so.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Can't praise Broad enough.

I was sick of the sight of him trundling in at 78 mph bowling nothing special but nowardays he's regularly mid 80s, superb seam position & looks an absolute world class player.

Really got his shit together & fair play to him.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Saving his speed for this guy.

Hmmm. He’s up to 86-87mph but still remains rather unthreatening.

I hope he’s not injured.

Old Trafford is the quickest strip in the country. You’ve got Stuart Broad busting a gut and Jofra Archer looking like he doesn’t want to be there because it’s a bit cold.
