If the overhead conditions are the same when we're in again, I wouldn't like to be chasing anything above 250.

Or even 165 !

Want them all out, but not convinced we'd fair particularly well in these conditions.

Edit: @domalino beat me to that thought.

It’s supposed to be nice and sunny tomorrow morning before the showers come in.

So dream scenario for England is to get through Australia out just before the end of play, then start tomorrow in lovely batting conditions and try to half the deficit before the rain hits.

Wood’s pace is down…

Wood’s pace is down…

The ball doesn’t swing much over 90mph (except reverse) so he’s probably going to be aiming for the high 80s and then the odd one at full speed that’ll stay pretty straight.

The ball swings most at 75mph, above that it moves less and less.

I usually enjoy Sky’s cricket coverage but there’s too much Aussie bias this Ashes. Feels like I’m watching Channel 9.

Wood bowling terrible just when the convicts were rocking . Too full or too short , the art of bowling lost when we have got the cheating cunts on the ropes . Woakes superb !

Here comes the predictable Australian tail wag.

Fair point.

Woakes looking the most likely right now.

Maybe time for Robinson if he’s fit to bowl.
