Bazball rocks !!!
But for Cummins and Lyon scratching out 60 runs, England would be lauded to the rafters.
Also, if Aus lose (and even if they don't) Langer's mates have really got it in for Cummins. he's not a great captain, but the aussie toxicity is ridiculous
-
If England go on to win this series there will be a blood letting back home
There are still more than a few people unhappy with how Langer got rissolled. Every success since then will be forgotten as scapegoats are sought

Ashes 4th Test, Day 4 weather forecast: Will rain spare Australia's blushes in Manchester?
As the teams prepare for the crucial fourth day, all eyes will be on the weather conditions and how it might impact the game's outcome. Cricket fans are eagerly waiting to see whether England can capitalise on their advantageous position or if Australia will stage a comeback to retain the Ashes.
Any poor fluffybunnies on the fern who actually live in Manchester ? Can they confirm the weather report ?
Australia are really all sorts of fucked if the rain doesn’t save them. Their big batting guns just haven’t quite fired. Simple as that.( bus change is still in to be fair )
Going in with two batting all rounders hasn’t helped the bowling either.

It is not looking good for England at 9:45 am

There might be some play this afternoon. Morning session will be washed away.
England need enough play for 60 overs to win I think
-
Rain in Manchester lighter than expected so far today.
It looks like England will have a chance to win the game this afternoon.

I thought England were carrying on like a pack of piston wristed gibbons when they went on about moral victories etc in the first two tests.
…..but if the Weather or an extraordinary rearguard effort from Australia means they don’t actually win here they they’re probably justified in going on about it. They’ve been incredible this match.
Bad luck Bairstow, sux to end up unbeaten on 99 ( good for the average though )
At least he did it in 81 balls. Geoffrey Boycott did it in 285 back in the day !
-
Too much talk of the weather. That’s going to be tight, yes, but of bigger concern is getting the wickets. England didn’t look even close to taking 5-6 wickets yesterday.
Time to start rueing the missed chances IMHO. They’ve proven they were good enough but a collection of poor decisions and selections in tests 1 and 2 have cost them the chance to takes the ashes.
Disappointing.

Cricket is so far up it’s own arse

ECB wondering why the decline in cricket
It’s sport not Come Dine With Me ffs

If we get any play today but not enough for a result, then the match will be determined using the Jobsworth Lewis Method
Lunch ffs
