    Umpiring has been terrible

    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.

    Great win for Australia. They will take a lot of confidence for the rest of the series from turning around a first innings deficit.

    England look like they still have a long post-CWC hangover. They did to perform well at Lord's or they could be starring down the barrel of a home series Ashes whitewash.

    The worry for England is how quickly they fell apart in the field in both innings - once a partnership built up, they seemed to become clueless and desperate very fast. When Head was dismissed yesterday, Australia's lead was only 100 but Denly was kept on to bowl full tosses to Wade.

    I watched until 3 down last night and it was looking ominous. Even when surviving for a few overs, there were plenty of scares and both Cummins and Siddle were very good. Made Lyon's job much easier and he bowled them to the victory - it is his job to do it but it still had to be done.
