Oh, to get Smith out for 99!

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Another ton for the cheat.

 

[xgorton]

They will get over 400 then England will collapse and probably follow on.

all time greats he's just called him
at cheating ?

 

[GaudinoMotors]

This is more like Wazball.

It’s got to be the last test match series for Jimmy this,it’s just no good relying on him and Broad as well all the time,like now, get this Robinson or Tongue on,whilst these two are get slapped all over the park

 

[Don Karleone]

Great catch

 

[M18CTID]

Needed that. Be disappointing if they get over 420 now

 

[meeesh]

Stokes heard me

Meh. 11 runs too late.

We won’t get over 250 imo. Aus bowlers will get more out this pitch and we will really struggle.

Also why aren’t Australia declaring? Dont they want to entertain

 

[DMA's]

Lyon out hooking again. Why did we not persist with that tactic at Edgbaston god only knows he literally can’t help himself

 

[dadnlad]

these lot not declared yet to make it interesting

They have more sence.

We need to get this last wicket out quickly, we can't be letting them add 30 or 40 runs.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Not the worst 90 minutes from England.

416 all out.

Hopefully we can get to lunch without losing a wicket but fear both openers could go.

It's a pretty decent effort, getting the last seven wickets out for 100. If that was England, the hand wringers would be out in force.


It might still be England, mind!

He probably has more freedom to do it at 400-8 in the first innings than when needing 70 to win.

 

[ancoats]

Twaddle

OK

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Last 7 wickets fell for 100.

Much better from England but it's crucial Crawley and Duckett take us till lunch.
