I'm not so sure about that , I feel we may go with an extra seamer

Maybe it is at lords and spin don’t usually take many wickets!

Wood
Broad
Anderson
Robinson
Stokes
Maybe Woakes

Got to love the umpires dedication to food in not having the inspection during lunch

Those two do look like a couple who enjoy their nosh. Surprised Umpire Erasmus can see the popping crease when he looks down, certainly can't see his belt.

Probably correct as an outsider Matt Potts could also be an option

Main covers have been taken off....

Play starts at 2.15

Unless the ball is going to be swinging round corners like on Sunday afternoon there's not enough time for a result.

Probably get around 40-45 overs in as play can go up to 7pm or 7.30 if a result is pending.

Depends how hard Australia go

Play starts at 2:15 a minimum of 67 overs tea taken at 4:30 so those 2 hours 15 minutes is where we need to take at least 3 wickets

A bit 4 an over roughly with no more delays I feel all 3 results are possible

That's only 4 rpo needed by the Aussies. If they want to win it, that wouldn't be a problem for them, particularly if we can't get Khawaja out. Obviously, a lot will depend on how the ball and the pitch behaves. If conditions are similar to the first two days, that target shouldn't be a problem for them, if they don't lose wickets regularly.

It's very overcast and the lights are on. Perfect conditions for swing bowling.

Know this was at Trent Bridge but it was exactly the same conditions and Jimmy can bowl Jaffa's like this

Waited all morning for cricket and having to listen to a whining aussie woman telling us how the Aussies can beat us and quieten OUR fans down. FUCK OFF

3 Aussies in the Sky commentary team.

Doubt the Australian broadcaster's will have 3 English commentators

It’s weird how sky are going for the impartiality model! When England over to Australia everyone over there just wants to fcuk us!

 

[Claytop]

Sounds like not a lot happening so far.

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Why we bowling around the wicket to Khawaja?

 

[Dr Jacoby]
