    How has the umpire not given that out, clear as bloody day
    Think even labuschagne nodded his head to marsh as if to say “yeah I hit that”. Just looking to waste time 
    The umps wasting time? It was England who reviewed it!
    Don't ruin it with facts.

    A very frustrating session of cricket it must be said 
    I'm claiming that wicket. 
    I thank you.

    Fair but that’s nothing new for an Aussie!

    Getting more cricket in than I expected. My game was called off without a bowl being bowled

    I’d absolutely love it if we can get out again after tea, but I doubt it.

    Why cant they just delay tea so they get as much game time in as possible?

    Sorry, my fault that one.

    Was watching it live.

    Probably a rule about the length of a session. They’ve been out there 2 hours and 15 mins uninterrupted.

    214-5 at tea.

    England use a review on that last ball but no edge this time unfortunately. There was a noise but Green’s bat hit the ground.

    Funny that it's the lack of light forcing the spinners to come in and change the game. Otherwise we'd probably still be lobbing bouncers over their heads.

    Moeen and Root could probably do with 20 minutes to rest their fingers as well. Neither are that used to bowling long spells.

    If they get back out there… Just keep bowling the spinners. They’ve been more dangerous than the pace and we can get through more overs too..

    If the Aussies keep walking away when the bowler is ready to bowl we should just bowl at the stumps regardless of whether the umpire has his arm out. It might at least motivate them to do something about their time wasting

    Or just not bother with tea? Not like they have done anything today.

    AccuWeather predicts this rain is here to stay until 7pm. Could be it for the day.

    You feel that could well be that.

    Why are they taking tea when so much of the play has been washed out?

    Because a) it's raining anyway and b)they have to take tea at some point

    Dont think we'll be playing any more today.

    See you all at 11am tomorrow.

    Seems daft that they go off for tea when it isn't raining.

    The last session was 2 hours 15 minutes long.
    I think they had to go off.

    Frustrating day all around, but I guess one positive is we're one wicket closer than I thought we might be at the end of today given it looked like a complete washout.

    No more play today. Hopefully the forecast for tomorrow improves.
