    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.

    Good fight back from Aussie overnight. Warner in particular was under huge pressure

    Not sure if I agree on the odds. NZ Tab is similar to everywhere else

    Aus 1.65
    Eng 3.25
    Draw 5.45

    Eng and the Draw look a bit long.

    Sure England looks a little tired, Wood barely bowled and Root is trusted more than Ali. However with some friendly overhead conditions on the final day wickets could be easier. A couple of quick wickets and the pressure will be on

    The Draw is only likely if there's rain interruption. The forecast suggests there might be a couple of showers. It wouldn't take that many lost overs for Aussie to back off from chasing and accept 2-1
