just watching the last hour or so of the 2nd day and smith just got his double hundred ?? same old root as captain not got a clue how to set the field to smith and not got a scooby doo of getting him out ?? but what it just seen is the spinner leach turning to left hands out of the ruff and lyons must be loving it seeing that

england will defo not win this test and will do very well to stop them winning but the weather is the key and it will save root and england and will have one more test in a do or die

Tbf you could of said we were lucky to win the last test when they didn't have Smith, Lyon missed the easiest stumping ever and how the umpire never give that plumb lbw I'll never know, they should of wrapped the ashes up right there.

Even taking Smith out of their side I'm not sure I'd agree with you saying we'd be 3-0 up.

Me neither but don’t forget we’ve had our injuries too though and we lost our best bowler for the series after he only bowled 4 overs in the first test at a time when we had them on the rack in their first innings.

Need some serious rain to avoid defeat in this test.

It's coming ,early hours of morning and should be with us till around lunchtime,hopefully bucket loads so they can't dry pitch out till around 4pm,then we can have 2 hours to survive.

Unfortunately it's to be fine on Saturday,so anyone with a ticket for Sunday,be prepared to get your money back.
 
For me Joe Root is a joke of a captain , hardly the type of guy to inspire you when the chips are down , he seems clueless!

I really can’t take to him at all so I’m probably biased but I think he has to go as captain
 
We gotta get that 298 to avoid the follow on, if we can do that then it will most likely be a draw and we will have escaped again. Cmon burns and denley please keep it together for next 40 mins or so.
 
Sky have made too much out of Stokes’s innings at Headingley. It was a phenomenal knock but there’s every chance it will go down in vain as we face a 2-1/3-1 loss. It seems to be on repeat with Stokes’s interview when the series hasn’t even finished yet.

Realistically, we have to bat at least 100 overs and pray a few sessions are lost to rain.

Nah 298 won't be enough the Aussies will put a quickfire 100 on and we'll need to bat out day 5
 
The headingley test was just papering over the cracks, we haven't changed anything and root isn't a captain. Doesn't even look like the weather will be able to save us either, so let's hope some of our batsmen can actually dig in.
