    Too little too late unfortunately.

    This will come down to whether England can bat 3/4 sessions on a turning wicket against a class spinner in Lyons and save the game.

    I don't think we can.
    Just to clarify I mean three or four sessions not three quarters of a session.

    We might just about manage three quarters of a session...
    Bold..!

    If we can just draw this we will get stronger. Archer in for Anderson and Ali out means playing with 11 rather than 9 in this test.

    Think they will set us 360 odd. We will be a couple down by close tonight & all out before tea tomorrow. 

    Only thing that can save us is the weather.

    Hard to justify Moeen over Leach at the moment when his bowling is off form and his batting struggling as well

    Could we see Burns being the first England player to bat on all five days of a Test, since Boycott in 1977?

    Do you believe the Aussies will declare tonight or give catching practice to get at the old Whitgiftians ?

    They'll declare.  To give England a sniff.  If they bat on, it's a waste of overs and England will set out tomorrow just to bat time.  But if they declare, at least England will set off with a target.

    The only target England have from here is to survive and get a draw.

    Burns and Root are capable of batting for a long period in this sort of situation. 
    The rest are mainly stroke makers.
    Lose Burns and Root tonight and it's all over.

    well, if Roy really wants a career as a test batsman, now would be a good nay essential time to learn some discipline

    We miss Leach, a perfect batsman to face the new ball on this slow pitch...

    2-0 after one over.  I hope these Surrey boys don't cost us the win with their slow batting...
