    Some good bowling by England but fuck me some ordinary shots by Australia. Head and Carey should lose their match fee. Or at least give it to Murphy.

    Very lucky Bairstow isn't a good keeper or we'd trail by a lot in this innings.

    Time to bar up with the ball, chaps. We know what works: line and length. Funny that.

    Looks like England will have decent weather for their batting today. I think they will try and set Australia over 300 by half an hour before Stumps today.

    Duckett out. Starc gets him caught behind 79/1. Stokes comes in at 3.

    Some rain around tomorrow but nothing like the Old Trafford downpour. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcpuvk7px#?date=2023-07-30

    Root and Stokes with a 50 partnership. 193/2. Lead of 181 at drinks.

    212/2. Lead exactly 200. England firm favourites to win this game now.

    And Brook

    Didn't change the favourites tag tho - 250+ lead is beyond these idiots

    Australia will be happy with 2-2

    I mean at this point they have no option. Be out for under 300

    Yep, the away-from-home passengers in Australia's top and middle order have been exposed as the series has gone on. Will be a genuine surprise (and a top effort) if they manage a series win from here.

    Great effort England for walking the talk after some bullshit in the first couple of tests.

    It sux that the weather has played such a part.

    Australia need a massive performance to save this test. They have the cattle to do it though, fascinating day in store

    I see Stuart Broad has announced his retirement. All the talk of Anderson and his longevity…..it’s easy to forget this guy has been around for donkeys years. I remember him as a really fresh faced ( but tall when you stand next to him at the pub ) bloke who toured here just before my 15 year old son was born.I would never have guessed he’d have this kind of career…..hats off. Incredible stuff.

    As a funny quirk of fate he dismissed his coach TEN times at test level apparently !

    Bazball can’t cover up that England have a mediocre bowling attack at the moment.
