A lead like this has only been chased three times, confident everybody?

Smith needs to score 224 to go past Bradman's most runs in a series record (and he'd be doing it in four games...)

 

Sorry, no would be the answer.

Couldn’t give a shit either way. Doesn’t mean anything now.

True enough, would still like to square the series though

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Only had it on in the background today. Pity Denley couldn't convert his best innings into a century.

Yeah, we’ll win from here quite comfortably. Archer is bowling great, Curran can hoop it around corners and it’s started turning square. Smith will get plenty of runs but no way they’ll get 400 ish.

 

I still care as well. 2-2 is miles better than 1-3.

Aye, he was stranded in the late nineties in the middle of a short brilliant spell from Siddle

He'll be kicking himself for not taking the easy one run off the first ball of the over , not sure what the thinking was.

If we square the series I’ll be well pissed off that Jimmy’s injury has proven so costly.

Aye, that spell came out of nowhere as well. We should have enough runs already, although losing the late wickets will still give the Aussies hope.

Smith would have to score another double hundred.

So you’re saying it’s on?

No.

Even a double hundred from him probably wouldn't be enough.

Agree, plus it would mean the Australians are still searching for their first ashes win on English soil since 2001.

There is also points for this Test championship available.

[alles ist gut]

One down, nine to go.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Decent start, that Harris is wank. 

 

[alles ist gut]

Breaking this partnership is the key to everything.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Get in Broad, Warner's series finishes on another fail. 

[Jairzinho]

Worst opening partnership in the history of test cricket?

[alles ist gut]

Getting Labuschagne out isn’t the end, but it’s the beginning of the end...

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Good stumping by Bairstow off a good ball from Leach, 7 to go. 

 

[s(k)aturation]

 

Smith before lunch?

[Jairzinho]

Game over.

Probably be all over before Tea. 

[Brownie]

There has been some absolute rubbish bowled by England in the last couple of hours.
