    As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted...

    If England survive the day, without even trying to score, if they just survive, they'll score enough runs.

    To my mind it's a win or a loss for Aus. Don't think Draw is an option.

    Don't agree. Reckon all 3 are in play.
    Hardest is for England to win.
    Would need to score at 4.4

    Whatever the result - this has been a good test.
    Aussies on the ropes - make a recovery.
    England looking good - but blow looking great.
    Aussie with a stirring effort - in the box seats.
    England gutsing it out (so far at least).

    Only complaint - to echo others here... get rid of the bloody numbers on the players shirts!

    @booboo 350 plus on a day 5 wicket in England? Highly unlikely mate

    Aussies need a wicket on average every 55-60 balls from here on out.

    Strike rate averages of the Aussies:

    Lyon - 63.8
    Siddle - 62.2
    Pattinson - 46.8
    Cummins - 46.8

    Reckon the England win is off the table now - barring a Buttler-Stokes-Bairstow miracle.
    Going to do well to hang in for the draw.

    @Billy-Webb Being realistic they will be doing well to make it through to the tea interval.

    @Higgins
    You're probably right.
    But this has been such an ebb-and-flow test, it would be a shame if Eng go out collapsing in a complete heap.

    Glenn McGrath's solution to the run of bad umpiring decisions this test was novel - a return to home umpiring.

    It would be the idea for an Aussie with a Boxing Day Test against NZ looming.

    This really is fantastic. Great to see the Poms taken down a notch after arseing that CWC win.

    Congrats to Aus, you won two days out of the five but you won those convincingly. Smith just incredible.

    For England going forwards, Moeen gets the arse and I wonder if we will persist with both Butler and Bairstow? Archer in for Anderson. Not sure there's much else in the cupboard after that.
