Warnie says England cant get the runs...
Now DRS ...
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 4.4Yeah maybe ...

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!
-
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 -
Lyon on fire.
Striking at about 18 now. -
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.

And the fat lady is gargling her mouthwash...

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.
