True, but it could be all over as a contest before then if we don't pick up the win here.

Indeed. There’s always a danger of thinking the immediate day will be all-important in the series, yet It’s hard not to think that today’s events will likely determine whether England stay in the contest.

I agree with you that they’re on top but only slightly in my view.

Hopefully the likes of Moeen and Woakes can contribute with some valuable runs down the order.

Nearly 200 behind that is a lot and why I posted earlier that get to lunch only losing 1 wicket be 140/4 we on par just because we can lose 3/4 wickets for 30 runs

Massive day for Bazball today.

These 2 need to score serious runs. Stokes needs to not throw his wicket away, Woakes & Ali need to chip in.

England can get a decent lead today and with the weather closing in on the weekend, this innings is likely going to decide the match.

If it's overcast and low clouds Saturday and Sunday, no one is going to score many runs in the 3rd and 4th innings.

Fucking Sky being overly PC with half their presenters now being women or Aussies or both.

If we were to somehow get around 75-100 ahead, would Stokes declare, given the apparently uncertain weather forecast over the next few days?

i think the thinking would be more along the lines of "keep building the lead of 75-100 to 200+ and only bat once, due to the weather forecast"
