Burns finally goes to Lyon, 296 for 6 ...........................................................Wow, close to a no ball. 

[Captain Howdy]

Turning into Australia’s morning this, let’s hope the wheels don’t come off here

[Captain Howdy]

Nothing so certain as a good old English collapse, Ali needs fucking off yesterday

[Jose Jones]

What the fuck was that?

Moeen...

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Nice to have a lead, need a decent one though, if only to put pressure on the Aussie top order, as the ball is doing more today.

 

Ali is shit.....needs dropping big time, if only for his own good. Not like his bowling is much better than the other spinning options on current form. His head has gone big time. Might as well go T20 mode now instead of fucking about looking for the odd run. 

[TheBitch]

Fucking dreadful leave that. 

 

I’d snap your hand off for a lead of 20 now. 

[Scooby Dudek]

Need Bairstow to play sensibly now, not just throw his bat at everything.

[Captain Howdy]

Be lucky to lead by 50 here

Not a lot to back him up now, although Woakes and Broad can bat a bit, normally when they open their arms though. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Amazing how shite Ali has become, he was in great knick a few summers ago.

Woakes can hang around when he chooses to, hopefully he does that and Bairstow plays sensibly. 

 

Obviously going to T20 mode and adding a quick 100 would also help.

[Captain Howdy]

Australia win this now

[Scooby Dudek]

There you go

[Jose Jones]

If Broad lasts more than an over it will be a miracle.

Fucks sake.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Fuck socks.

Well this pisstake doesn’t look so clever now. 

[Pureblood]

This is an insult to Burns' magnificent patient innings.

Opened at one stage if memory serves?

Brave comment, not like they bat well apart from Smith. The game is wide open. Plus we could still add a quick 50.

Yeah, he did.

Based on us batting last on this pitch with a bowler down, I think we needed 100. Hope to God I’m wrong like

Is that skinny gobshite chirping again?

Anderson looks like he might be fit to bowl, or at least that is what Bumble was saying. The match might not even go to a fifth day. The Aussies are as capable of a collapse as ourselves. Even a 50 lead from here would have their top order shitting themselves, especially if they lose n early wicket or two, which is a good chance as the ball is doing a lot more this morning.
