    Top delivery, pitched up, fast and swinging in like an exocet.

    Am I going to see any cricket tomorrow?
  • Starting to think McGrath's 5-0 prediction might not be far off

    A session of rain could mean we scrape a draw. Otherwise I think it will all be over by tea. 

    Looks like Bazball has rolled up its towel & gone home.

    Jim Maxwell is winning the ashes for the Aussies single handed during his commentaries on TMS. The BBC should ditch him!

    45-4

    Brook bowled all ends up by Cummins. On a middle stump line and nipped away to take top of off stump.
  • We’re not coming back from 2-0 down in this series. Aussies are doing the right things far more than us plus they’re a better team.

    Game over now, if it wasn't already.

    But we've never been as entertained, so forget we're going 0-2 down.


    To be fair they would beat us regardless, because they are better than us and smarter than us.

    Apart from his enthusiasm for the shipping forecast he can get in the bin as far as I’m concerned.

    Only takes the Australians to show how inept England are!

    I really hope that Brendon and Ben don't embarrass themselves with their comments after this test when we are two down.

    '10 men, they only had 10 men.'
    Even if 'Gary' did hobble out to bat.

    Similar to us with Stokes playing.
    (Stokes will now score 100+).

    Why they scheduled the women's test 1st rather than having it as a potentially exciting series decider is a mystery to me. If England's women lose the T20 tonight, they'd have win all other 5 games. England lost toss bat first.

    Target now below 300. Still 6 wickets in hand.

    It's on I tell thee. It's on......
