Ponting and Mel Jones on commentary. Blech.

Jim Maxwell is off TMS so wickets are about to fall. Come on England. Skittle the bastards.

They never stop talking. I used to love the long spells of silence when it was just one person on commentary.

Ah, Jim Laker, he was numero uno.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

This is shit.

 

[FantasyIreland]

This is shit.

Yep,i have a feeling they are going to smash us.

 

[Claytop]

I feel like we lost the momentum we had with the rain affected draw in the last test.

Expect the Aussies to win this one fairly comfortably.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Wood’s pace is down.

 

[Gundoggin]

Shite !

Lanky going well but having lost roughly 72 overs in the 3 days on a decent wicket it was always going to be a draw going into the last 2 days.

276-2 Salty at the crease looking to up the run rate to maximise batting points over the next 42 overs. Could be worth a watch.

Salt doing as predicted, going at 8.4 an over for his 85* so far. 53 ahead and 26 overs to get 50 runs to maximise batting points looks a formality.

England will be praying for rain this time

The thing with Khawaja is he knows how we going to bowl to him! Change it bowl wide and full

Another 3 or 4 wickets before close of play will be perfect!

If we can get another 2 for next to nought it of been a good day

Salt's 105 brought up with a Six off 74. May get a Wales call up.

The Oval crowd haven’t got into the game at all and it took the Bairstow incident to wake up the old stiffs at Lords. London should get one test - no coincidence the most memorable tests have been Edgbaston, Headingly and Old Trafford.

It's been a fantastic knock that, Lancs have done "bazball" the careful way, 3 centuries.

429-4.

Mal Loye will approve.

 

[waspish]

Aussie leave the ball so well they must looked at how we bowl and where we bowl and realise only around 5% hit the stumps!

Need 3/4 wickets in the morning

Poor day on the whole for England today. Could have been a lot worse though had Australia held their catches.
