    England out to 1.96 after that wicket

    Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear.

    If we lose a wicket before we get to 200 then we're done I reckon. No backbone.

    Starc is a world class wicket taker.
    The Aussies must be favourites now.

    Winviz has us at 75%. I wouldn't go that far tbh. 60/65% would be my guess. 
    Winviz percentages are laughable. I'd have it as 52/48, with England marginally ahead, but not more.
    Why is it laughable? Just because you don't agree with it, doesn't make it laughable.
    How many people genuinely (with their heads) would make England clear favourites, which is what the 75% figure states?

    1) It's a low scoring match, so 251 is higher than all but Australia's 1st innings, and even that was only because Marsh was dropped by Root
    2) High quality Australian attack, and the conditions while better than yesterday are still helpful for bowling
    3) An England batting lineup that's consistently cocked it up this summer
    Today is exactly why the overnight 75% figure was nonsense, and nothing that's happened today has been a surprise.

    Winviz still has England at 53%  :#

    Bairstow should be dropped, not a good enough wicketkeeper and at present not good enough with the bat.

    Bairstow has to be dropped. Can't bat, has dropped nearly everything. How flakes never gets a  look in annoys me

    even if we win this, we've limped to the finish. Was a great opportunity to wrestle the momentum of the series from the aussies in the series. Feel like that's gone now. Aussies will feel they got close now.

    It's a test match not T20, why can't they have more discipline instead of throwing the bat at every fucking ball. So frustrating

    They want to give us entertainment. It's torture and pure frustration

    Precisely. 

    A wicket every 25 runs.

    We are still ahead of the target. Only problem is that we have only the bowlers to come.

    Unfortunately top order wickets are worth more.

    Lots of easy singles there, Australia are defending the boundaries. There's no need to take too many risks...

    We have had the best of the conditions in this match so nothing to do with luck IF we lose again.

    Indeed. We've won the toss in all three matches and had the best of the conditions in all three too

    Yes, but this England and there’s always an element of luck, dropped catches etc.

    If these two can get it down to about 15 I'll finally be confident!!
