A great recovery indeed

[Virgil]

20 wickets taken so far only by 4 bowlers

[Godder]

40 runs from 10 and 11 is mighty handy. Shame about the top 5...

[Mokey]

Considering we were 36/5, making it to 278 was bloody great. Kudos to Watling, de Grandhomme, Southee, Wagner, and Boult for being a giant wagging tail. (I mean FFS, Boult scored more runs than Raval, Latham, Taylor, and Nicholls combined.)

England's lead was 30-odd to start with, here's hoping our bowlers turn up the heat early on.

Cook gone, overall poms are 57/1

Aside from a double hundy in the Ashes he has done absolutely nothing for as long as I remember.....

England now with a 100 run lead with the loss of 1 wicket.. looking like a draw is the best we can hope for

Not a good look that session, almost as bad as Izzy’s rug during the Dilmah Tea Party.

Advanced hair, yeah yeah? Photos?

Always intrigued by what people will glue to their heads.

[Duluth]

I thought it was a highly engineered, complex comb forward. Doubt it will hold together during a rugby game

[No Quarter]

I saw an ad with Shane Warne and Mark Nicholas saying how important it was for balding men to go to Advanced Hair, which was all the convincing I needed to never go anywhere near that company and instead just fully embrace hair loss later in life.

[Siam]

Shit we look impotent. Eng 1 for 174 effectively

[No Quarter]

Double breakthrough. We need to roll them cheap now to have any chance at all.

I wonder how many sessions we will need to bat to save the game?

[Siam]

@canefan Best part of 4 minimum is my gloomy prediction

At least Warnie is a Bona fide cricket great. Nicholas is nothing short of a Grade A wankstain.

We will have to bat for a day and a half to save this test. On this pitch, that should be very doable.
