    Aussies slowing the game down knowing there is rain around for the next 3 days. 

    Another draw looming. 
    Fucking hell. He's relentless.

    this is our new approach

    I will call it Strangle-ball
    we stop them getting runs and then whip them out as the pressure grows

    2.4 an over is the new Baz-Ball

    good for batting tomorrow.

    As I said earlier, I reckon they'll get a 100+ lead and bowl us out again before close on Saturday. Have 2 days to get 200 or thereabouts.

    If the rain stops England winning this test like the last one can we stop the test matches being played in the 'north' and play them all down south in Southampton or maybe Italy 🤔

    For all the chat before the series. Carey (much like Green) has been pretty poor. 
    Interestingly he's been a lot worse since the Bairstow incident, and Bairstow has been less droppy and got 99 not out last Test.

    186-7 at tea. Five overs until the new ball

    Really good session and new ball on the way!

    Can’t believe they have less than 200 and we’re almost at the new ball… they’re almost 100 short, at least 50, of where I’d expect them to be at this point.

    Maybe they’ll make them up with a partnership but otherwise that feels like lost runs in a match where you’re losing a wicket every 8-10 overs anyway.

    "Who would've thought they were half decent blokes?"

    I do like Ricky Ponting commentating.

    England have 3 sub fielders on and thankfully are choosing to not use Amar Virdi. 

    Lawrence, Ealham (discussed further up the thread) and Josh Blake are on the field.

    Blake just over a year ago was playing club cricket and coaching kids as part of the ace programme I think when Surrey plucked him out of nowhere when we needed a keeper for the 50 over comp last year. He's been excellent ans even came in for a couple of T20s when Smith was injured. By all accounts he's a great lad to have around the place, really grounded and excellent fielder.

    Harry Brook doing bits with the old ball while we save the other bowlers for the new ball. You love to see it.

    Bairstow disturbed the first bail before the ball was in his gloves. The second bail came up after the ball was in his gloves but Smith’s bat was in by that point.
