    Australia review an lbw on Crawley from Boland’s second ball
    Impact outside off stump. They lose a review.

    Boland looked very dangerous that over. Going to just have to play shots because he’s gonna get you with one eventually.

    Utter madness. Instructions from a management team that know the game is clearly up.and they fancy going out with a bit of a bang before the hammer falls.

    I suspect Key will be relieved of his duties shortly after landing at Heathrow
     They'll offer McCullum a chance to stay but he'll stick two fingers up because his mate Key has been given the push and no other director of Cricket would put up with his madness.
    Stokes is a bit of an unknown. Can still see him calling it a day.
    Can see why it might look that way if you aren’t a fan.

    Pundits on the Australian coverage seem to believe England have so far played this fourth innings about as well as they could have done.

    England’s required run rate is about 10 runs… per session
  • Thanks Callum for updates …. Surely we can’t nause this up from here

    First ball after tea - Bethell scores 2 off a reverse ramp shot against Boland

    And a cover drive for four to follow up

    Carey was standing up to the stumps but has now moved back - not wanting to be in the firing line

    Crawley edges one but it goes between the slips and scores four runs.

    Can’t fathom why he’s reviewed that. Couldn’t have been more out
