Will Jimmy come out to bat if we go nine down with four or five runs to get?
Would say 100% no, having experienced a side strain myself, you wince every time you take a big breath, and coughing sneezing or any real big movement is torture! I'm sure our lower order can do the job of getting a few, it's just the upper I'm worried about. Time for Lyth to show his worth
Just shows what thieving bXXXXXXX bookmakers are. There's more chance of the end of the world than it being a draw. And they won't have to pay out on that even if it does happen!
We will win this because neither Starc or Hazlewood are bowling in the right areas and the conditions are not as conducive as they were on the first two days.
It will, also, potentially give Lyth a reprieve (assuming he is not out at the end) but whether that is a good thing I'm not sure.

...although I have visions of 34-5 lol
Yet some of the bed wetters - who clearly have no idea about cricket - say England would struggle to make 120!
Hilarious.
The damage up to now in the three innings we have seen has been in the first 40 overs or so.
England should win if they graft but if they don't wickets will fall.

Cook b Starc 7
Bell should play like this more regularly. He's at his best when he attacks the bowlers. When he goes all defensive, he gets bogged down too easily
Lyth LBW
70 needed
Now the question is, will the selectors replace Lyth and if so with whom?
One more wicket straight away and I will get twitchy.
You have been twitchy than Harry Redknapp the last few days.
