    Well we're doing much better than I feared. Hopefully we can keep it going and build a 300+ lead

    50 partnership up between Crawley and Stokes after 41 balls


    How much rain is forecast over the next two days? Do we need all six sessions or could we feasibly bat until lunch tomorrow?
    God I don't think I could stand 2 days of Australia blocking it out for 25 runs....

    I was against it until last week when I found out he's a Charlton fan! Getting runs is a bonus

    that familiar pattern again in this series, every time one side looks like they about to run away with it there's a wicket.

    This is the key part of the game. England get another 100 and it will be very tough for the Aussies.

    Ali has his pads on. Looks like he's next in to bat.

    Hopefully we can get a 350+ lead. 

    Think Stokes will declare before the close & put them in for 15/20 mins.

    Only 49 overs bowled in those two sessions, very poor

    9 of those 49 have been bowled by their spinner too
