@mn5 I think there is time to get a quick 130 and put them in, and back Lyon on this wicket.
I hope we do BUT while the weather forecast doesn't look great, nothing looks bad on the radar.
Bit of a balancing act.
Yeah will be interesting. Not sure they can rely on Stokes and Bairstow again, Root looks like he’s cracked under the strain and the openers are a pair of walking wickets.
Maybe Dawid with a W is up for the challenge after a couple of 80 odds earlier in the series.

Hang on... Why is Pope allowed to play? He wasn't part of the XI?
Do they still have the rule where a team can bring in a replacement keeper if the opposition agrees? Maybe that's what happened.

That's the one. The channel 7 guys had Simon Taufel on to explain birth the keeping and batting situation. MCC apparently did keeper sub laws in 2017. Buttler could still bat.

@mn5 England have not passed 300 this series. And while I don't think they can necessarily repeat their first innings effort, anything under 250 will open the door for a big middle order partnership that will threaten.
Don't think the weather is going to truncate any play today by the looks of the forecast.

Can’t see it myself but then again I don’t have skin in the game like you do. Losing at home will be a shit start to the year
( MN5 hopes everyone sees the irony of this post )
