Wickets umpire’s call. Murphy gone for 34Callumcafc said:Murphy given lbw, he reviews because they’ve got 2 left
288-9, lead by 50 -
When they showed the Hawkeye line from bowler’s hand to batter’s pad I thought that was sliding down the leg side… thankfully clipping the leg stump0
-
Wow, who came up with that new idea of bowling at the stumps to get a wicket?1
-
What a catch Ben Stokes on the boundary… just checking it for the six…1
-
Catch completed - great stuff from the captain.
Australia 295 all out, leading by 12.
And that’s stumps for day 2.0 -
We should've had a 1st innings lead, some fairly shite bowling let us down in the final hour. I think both sides will be reasonably happy after the 1st innings. I just hope we bat well tomorrow...1
-
thank god that’s over. Frustrating end to the day but would’ve bitten your hand off for that at the start of the day4
-
Perfect timing for Zak and Duckett0
-
It’s a three day, shootout Test match… perhaps shouldn’t have been at 185-7… but would we have taken it this morning at 61-1?0
-
England will bat all day tomorrow and score enough runs to win the match.

We've proper shit the bed last hour. Diabolical bowling. But I would have taken a 12 run defecit at 11am this morning!

I think a lead of 300 will do us nicely. Should have that by lunch... 👀0

Jimmy Anderson was going to open the batting if only two overs left this evening with either Crawley or Duckett.0

Do a Jason Gillespie, and get a double ton.0 -
England's batsmen definitely need to bat so our elderly pace bowlers can have a rest day.
I'm not over confident that will happen.0 -

225 all out or 225 for 2 chasing 224.

Listened to the evening session on the radio, one gem that came up was that Murphy had never hit a six in a first class game before today.
The bowling sounded every bit as brain dead as people are saying on here, been seeing the same thing for years unfortunately.2 -
We've generally been going at between 4 to 5 an over. 8n the series there has also been less than 85 overs bowled in a day. At 4.5 runs an over we could be around 315 after 75 overs if Stokes wanted to bowl at them for 6-8 overs before the close tomorrow.ProperCharlton said:I think a lead of 300 will do us nicely.

More likely we would be going at 5 an over but could be all out after 60 odd overs.....so again only a lead of 320 odd.
I would want a lead of at least 350 & closer to 400, esp if they would have 2 whole days to bat (weather permitting).
Main thing is to get at least 250.0 -
They are all for 10 wickets. I’m referring to the second innings of the match, not a specific team’s second innings.golfaddick said:

Or is that only if the rain would work against us?1 -
Weather forecast I've seen shows a few showers tomorrow but clearing in the afternoon. I reckon we should get almost a full days play if they go onto 7.30pm.Off_it said:

Sunday a bit more hit & miss but should have a good deal of play.
Monday looking iffy but that forecast is from today so who knows what it will be like by Monday.
If I was a betting man (which I'm not) I wouldn't be risking trying to get a result by playing on Monday. We all saw what happened up in Manchester in the final day.0 -
I see what you mean. Not sure what point you were trying to make though. 2nd innings in a match at the Oval most likely to be in the 200's ?Callumcafc said:0 -
Just an interesting stat. If it has to mean anything, I suppose it points towards the Aussies probably being on the slightly higher side of a par score? They were two runs away from posting the highest score for a second innings in seven years.golfaddick said:

It's almost like the 3rd innings of the match is when you can bat big.Callumcafc said:
Have this year's Dukes not swung as much when they are brand new? Maybe why Cummings hasn't been taking it?
Normally you would expect, after 5 tests, someone to have take 2 or 3 quick wickets but it seems to do much more later on.0 -
Worried tbh. Similar pitch and same bowlers to when India got bowled out for 36. I know they won the series but I can see England being absolutely bundled here. And I've generally been positive about England's chances0
