You can’t play for a draw when you’re batting on day 1 after the oppo scored 300

Why not? As long as you're still scoring, batting slowly and taking time out the game, especially if there's 'weather' about.

Am I the only one who hears a 'DONK' in their head when Bairstow catches the ball?

Just seeing the root catch, what on earth was bairstow waiting for

lovely for Jimmy

Anderson gets his wicket!

Bowled Marsh a treat.

(Edit: missed the inside edge on to the wicket 1st time around)

No one likes a smart ass

Then you won't like me bumping this from yesterday.....

Still not worried? lol

No, I think 270-280 is around par on this pitch in these conditions. Obviously you can't really judge fully until the other lot get in but I think it's still game on.

There isn’t a chance in hell he was 3m down.

Very evenly balanced now isn't it? Apart from the Old Trafford Test, it's felt like this the whole series.

well held

I am very much enjoying how much Carey's form, with bat and gloves, has fallen off a cliff since Lords.

And Cummins (more so his decisions making as captain). It definitely got to them.

I'm watching with the sound down, what are they saying on Sky about Labuschagne and Broad?

Broad fiddled with the bails - swapped them round, Labs out next ball

Well - all out 200... England smash another 300 by lunch tomorrow and Aus bowled out in time for an early Saturday take-away. Such a shame the rain killed the 4th test. Aus won 2 tests closely, lose 2 easily, and the rain saves them in the other.

I guess, as an Australian, my only position can be that history will say we retained the Ashes in 2023.

Wahey, a bit of Brooky 'right arm rank' to get us through to tea!!
