Chaps...will we declare and at what point is this likely?

I think England will try and accelerate the run scoring and declare by around tea?

Well it's what I would do...!

I know the forecasts good but you just know it'll probably piss down all day tomorrow, I'm in North London and it's getting increasingly gloomier.

 

[gloriousbillynich]

Well it certainly looks as though they're going to go for it. The lead is so strong now that they can afford to. Could see a bit of stokes swashbuckle!

Can't see the point staying out there until tea.

2 overs at them before the break makes the openers start twice. We're 442 ahead. Will the extra 8 runs or so make a difference?

44-1 when I go and have dinner, come back and it's 63-4. Lovely stuff. And Du Plessis out for a duck

Go and have some more dinner!

England bowling very well here. Real tight stuff.

I think I'll burst if I do.

I've been very impressed by TRJ in this test.

It's for a greater cause.

Yes he has been very good. I think England need one bowler who can keep it tight and keep the batsman honest.

I do think he will get tonked in Australia though, especially if the Kookaburra ball is used.

Yes Mo!

 

[Arnoldtoo]

Well done chaps.

In the next match I'd like to see England bat second, facing a decent total, and surpass it with the pressure on.

What a relief. I thought the Aussies were giving themselves an excuse to bottle it again!!.

Thus is the abridged version. Apologies if posted before.
