    Lyon on strike , this could be entertaining.

    Starc pulls for 6. 

    The way the field is set, and with Lyon’s calf, we’re dealing with dots or sixes (or very well hit fours).

    Terrible ball from Broad. Why's he bowling short to a guy with a calf strain

    Quite a few close-ups of rather unpleasant Australian fans

    Are our bowlers brain dead. Aim at the stumps. And Yorkers. Dont let them get under the ball.

    Short ball gets Lyon. 279 all out.

    England target will be 371. They chased 378 against India last summer.

    I suppose they added 15 for that last wicket. But to what cost to Lyon.

    Fair play to Lyon. They got an extra 15 runs whilst he was out there.

    371 to win. What do we reckon? Any chance we can do it?

    Certainly with Bazball. 

    Not if we go into our shells & try to play out a draw.

    We need around three an over from here. 

    Australia have three bowlers plus Cameron Green and Smith/Head as part-time spinners. 

    England were doing well in the first innings until the craziness. I suppose one issue will be Ollie Pope. 

    We'll get a lot of short pitched bowling though.

    A year ago, and every year before that, right up to the start of Test cricket, the question being asked now would be "can England hold on for the draw?" 

    Now, all the questions being asked are about how England will chase the total.

    Aussies proved themselves (Head, Carey… to a lesser extent Green who just got bored) that trying to defend against this short pitched stuff isn’t going to get the job done.

    It might look a bit brainless coming up but if we have intentions of winning the Test, we have to attack the short stuff. Either it’ll come off and we’ll be 300-2 or all out for 200.

    Ben Stokes and Ollie Pope should be talking to the third umpire right now, demanding that Nathan Lyon - fit enough to bat before tea - should be fielding.

    I think England should tinker with the order here and put Pope in after Bairstow and move everyone else up one

    Another wicket thrown away, should be leaving that.

    It was on a line to hit his pads and swung down leg

    Static’s got it hooping around.

    Duckett given lbw, reviewed.

    Swung so much it’s missed the stumps. Duckett survives

    Now thinking 370 is a tad too much.

    Bit early to start fiddling with shoe laces and doing some gardening.
