    Scoring is so quick these days that we could (in theory) build a lead of 500+ and still have five sessions to bowl them out

    Weather permitting.

    Very difficult to see us losing from here now. Watson's military medium is pure cannon fodder at this level

    Root bowled by Hazlewood for 60

    207-5 and a lead of 329

    A lead of 400 would be excellent

    240-7 lead 362

    Is it enough?

    Wickets tumbling now. Will 380 - 400 be enough? Traditionally you'd have thought so but the cricketing times are a changing.

    266-8. Partnership from Moeen and Wood here would be ideal.

    England 289 all out. Lyon bowls Anderson.

    Australia will need 412 runs to win. They'll start their chase tomorrow.

    Any charlton fans going tomorrow. I've just travelled up to Birmingham to get 2 tickets. I hope we win tomorrow as there rain forcast for Sunday.

    Weather forecast looks ropey onSunday again, maybe England knew that hence the aggressive batting display yesterday afternoon.

    yep, rain now forecast for all day - so likely only 2 possible results - England win or rain affected draw.
    See also that cloud cover forecast for most of today - Jimmy weather ?
    Like Boycott, i dont think Oz have got any chance of winning, England have been the better team over 3 days.
    I wonder if Starc will be fit for next Test?

    Also, we seem to have discovered a real gem in Mark Wood.

    Starc will be a big loss for them, might even go as far to say it will make us favourites.

    Really like Wood, hope he plays in at least three tests, supposed to be a bit lightweight.

    Rogers trying it? Good blow, 3 wickets a session will do me.

    Oz are very fortunate to be only 1 down. It really could be 3 down.

    Strange decision to bring Ali on, pressure off, leaked runs.
