Once we get to 250 in front I’ll be bit more comfortable!

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Steady as she goes from here on. We're not in a position to "bazball" our way to a glorious victory. Try to get to tea without losing any further wickets. Then reassess the situation.

Not sure that’s our ethos.

Phew

Flash century incoming

 

[Cricket Blue]

what's going to be enough here?

what's going to be enough here?

Knowing us, a declaration is imminent.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Negative aussie field, really poor. Just take 4 singles an over and smack the odd bad ball

I would hopefully see England bat until midway or so through the last session.
Certainly need to get another 100 runs minimum.
What makes TMC so special is the variables in any given hour.

Is it me or does this feel like were watching a none stop T20 game?

 

[BringBackSwales]

Still about 160 overs to go, subject to the rain

I'm thinking 300 lead with 60 mins at them tonight + 70 overs tomorrow?

Not going to be easy batting tomorrow, probably most of the morning session washed out and stop/start the afternoon. I just think we'll still need 2 new balls to bowl them out though.

Only when England bat.

Yep similar lines to mine Lego :-)

frustrating watching us throw wickets away

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Every time we look like we are edging a lead we get pegged back.

Need more runs here.

Needed JB to get another 25 runs though.

 

[waspish]

We have to get used to this batting sweeping to Lyon is dangerous! At moment we ain’t getting 300 maybe creep to 250

 

[Gabriel]

Lyon tormenting lions. England will be insisting Ali sleep with his finger in a bottle of 'new skin' tonight.

 

[DMA's]

Ali looks like a walking wicket. Can we sneak up to 300? You’d imagine it’s all on stokes from here
