WinViz has lost it’s mind, Australia only 50% to win?

Get to tea without losing another wicket first. Need to get to around an hour left of play.

We were in complete control of this game until Root mindlessly came down the wicket.

First time he's ever been stumped, he's usually very good on the front foot advancing down the wicket. I don't blame him for that. I've got more of an issue with Brook because he was struggling to score and Lyon just set the trap knowing he'd swing at one. It was unnecessary with about 20 minutes to go until lunch. Fine margins with this style.

It's been a really intriguing game. Two styles really causing the other team issues. Australia have been too defensive at times and England have been too sloppy at others, so it's very even. It's all on Moeen now. First with the bat and then with the ball. 4 wickets away from 200 in tests...come on lad!

Every time you post stuff like this we lose a wicket.

I’d agree if we had a frontline spinner.

Ali reckons he can bowl apparently.

Brilliant from moeen. The decision to bring him back not really worked. Early declaration also looking worse by the hour. Very disappointing and very frustrating

Who would you have brought in instead? Someone who'd bowl 30 overs an innings and get 20 in each with the bat?

Brain dead batting.

 

[GX Blue]

We starting the rain dance early then or what?

I’ve just bloody noticed myself :-)

Going to be at least 75 runs light here (if the weather holds tomorrow), in my opinion. Unless the last two wickets do something special.

that cheating bastard will claim that

We were 100 short in the first innings.

 

[crooky]

I'm just hoping Australia are still around hundred or so runs short tomorrow morning.

Then hoping for some very tricky overcast conditions to help us blow through their batting order.

You can only dream..

Feels as though we’ve played the better cricket yet Australia are in the ascendancy.

Suspect the early declaration, Bairstow’s missed chances and some questionable shots will be the decisive factors here.

Whatever happens now we have a total to bowl at. If we had an equivalent of Cummins and Lyon I'd fancy us. If we had Wood and a spinner with a full set of fingers we'd have a sniff.
Relying on the 2 old fellas to produce something special to win from here.

Don’t forget stokes on one leg
