Laughed at Sir Geoffrey claiming just now "we always had to try and win when I was at Yorkshire"

Clearly Australia would have won at Headingley with Smith.

Love the little shake of the hand gesture that Warner gave after Broad trapped him: "Please, please don't raise your finger. Show some metcy for God's sake".

I think Australia probably already have enough already here but I also said that last time, so....they'll want to get past a 375 lead at least.Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 07-09-2019, 15:57.

Broad's complete ownership of Warner matches Stokes's heroics in Leeds as the English high point of the series. Neither will be enough, sadly.

I can't now see Australia declaring today, whereas at lunch I'd have put money on it, so England will probably only bat tonight if they bowl Aus out. If they don't bowl Aus out, tomorrow might be similar scenario to 5th day the 1st Test, with England having to bat all day to save it (starting on 13-0 chasing 398). If they do bowl Aus out and chase less than 350 then it becomes a case of do they go for it or not?
Technically we still have 140 overs left in the game but light will be a big factor after 6pm, and Aus can slow down the over rate to 12 an hour if England look like they could chase it down.Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 07-09-2019, 15:26.

This is lovely and everything but it demonstrates how hard a task England will have to survive tomorrow.

I always mixed feelings when England skittle the Aussie openers knowing that merely heralds Smith's entrance.

As someone who strongly dislikes both Broad and Warner, this is genuinely funny

Well they'd probably only have to bat four sessions. And the Aussie bowlers would have bowled for 3 straight days, with a 4 man attack, with the final test starting in 3 days. I'd consider the follow on, but it's not a gimme.

England have got to get to the follow on yet. I can't imagine why Australia would refuse it. No chance of England batting through another five sessions for the draw.

Tire out and possibly demoralise England's bowlers with the next test only a few days break away.
That's about the follow on.

Should Australia enforce the follow-on if they can or spend a session bashing out quick runs before declaring?

And ms ursus' cousin, though I might have only mentioned that when you weren't following cricket threads

Root also gone. Had seemed to be ropy after getting one on the exposed part of the knee. Partially Cummins' wicket, as was Burns, as Cummins had the spell that turned the game from fairly comfortable to really tough for the batsmen.

Root goes, these two wickets for Hazlewood feel like they've been earned by Cummings's remorseless spell.
That was a tough innings from Root, never properly in but he stuck it out as best he could.
