not over yet!

Me and my punditry skills - I do have form for this that’s why I never bet !!

Stokes knows how to apply maximum pressure with the resources he has.

Any Aussies with anything less than a steely mindset will be found out.

Would love for Root to nab Khawajas wicket..

Whittle them down to 3 remaining with 50+ still to get and anything can happen.

One more quick one for a classic finish?

Correct. Another quick one (say, in the next 20 runs), just to make the Aussies a bit nervous. I still think they'll get the job done, unfortunately.

Although run rate will not be an issue (no more rain means no draw) what England have done really well in restricting their scoring is to make sure they have to face a lot more balls if they are to win the match, very disciplined bowling

Root is loving this. Looking very tidy for a part time bowler.

 

[hello]

Root's economy albeit partially down to their approach is really helping cover Moeen's fucked finger and stokes's knee.

 

[jimharri]

A hat trick wouldn't go amiss right now!

Ali...

Shit or bust time.

If stokes can’t bowl would like to woakes come in for lords test for ali and use root as the spin option . woakes has a great record at lords and can bat to a very good standard also doesn’t usually spin that much at lords
