This reminds me a bit of the oval in 2005, Australia poised to get a big first innnings lead but end up with a small deficit
Don’t see this ending as a draw though

This reminds me a bit of the oval in 2005, Australia poised to get a big first innnings lead but end up with a small deficit
Don’t see this ending as a draw though
And it’s raining hmmm, might we get a draw here after all?
There's a great big black cloud ready to drench the field in minutes.
But no. England lose 2 in about 5 minutes :doh:
And now they bugger off back inside.
210-7, Stokes, Root and Brook all falling short of 50
Unless the tail wags I think we may lose this
273 all out
Tail wagged a bit but not enough. Disappointing second innings, and I think a target of 281 with four sessions to go makes Australia the favourites to go 1-0 up in this series
107-3 close of play
Australia have batted well, Warner, Labuschagne and Smith gone. Need to get Boland the night watchman gone first thing and then concentrate on getting Khawaja. That done I think the Aussies will have had it.
Like all through this test, no one side has a definitive advantage
Morning session washed out and early lunch pencilled in. No play before 13:10
126-4, Aussies have added 19 to the total with almost an hour of play, lost night watchman Boland
Are they playing for draw? Looks like
227-8
No as I said yesterday we didn’t get enough runs in our second innings
