A bargain at twice the price.

What a ball from Moeen, wow!

Khawaja in good form here

Gone and jinxed us for sure

They have lost the plot after that no ball wicket. I feel for JB, needs to get his wicket keeper confidence back. Time for the coaches to earn their keep.

82 behind, ooer madam.

Mopping up the tailenders now, nicely set up for a good afternoons cricket.

... looks like there could be some rain, hopefully short and sharp.

Two days and a session into the game we are all square! I feel Stokes has landed some psychological blows with his approach but basically it comes down to a one innings game.

Edited for numerical accuracy!

Three days and a session into the game we are all square! I feel Stokes has landed some psychological blows with his approach but basically it comes down to a one innings game.

2 and a session surely, unless you're counting future rain...! (I'm old enough to remember when tests always began on a Thursday but not nowadays.) I reckon Australia have a slight edge.

 

[geocycle]

I agree that Aus are slightly ahead. England need a lot of runs as they will not be concerned about the chase, especially if Moeen is crocked. Lyon is a point of difference between the sides unless we get some rain to cause some lateral movement.

 

[Grant Fondo]

Can't call it really. Just hope we don't need Root too soon

The pitch will deteriorate, batting last maybe tricky.

Wonder if Stokesy will declare on some crazy low score?

I think a low score is all we might get.
