    Glenn McGrath probably does.

    Going for 3-2 Australia.

    Weird decision to declare isn't it?

    Still got almost four days of play left.

    Good declaration, gives them a nervy spell before lunch.

    We've got enough runs, it's about ten wickets now.

    Ball swinging again. Get them in now, if the create a miracle and make us bat again we have plenty of time.

    Warner dropped by Cook at 1st slip. Pretty easy chance.

    Australia now reach 50. Lead coming down further.

    Can't let them get over 450 in my opinion.

    We've a 331 lead. If they get 450, we need 120 to win.

    If we can't get 120 ...........

    I'll start getting concerned if they get 500 and we need over 170.

    England are more than capable of collapsing for less than 120 on this wicket.

    Odds for an Aussie win now down to 5s and 6s. Was at 20/1 an hour ago - was going to jump straight on that (and by the looks of things, lots have).

    Clearly very unlikely to happen but IF we did lose after all the ribbing we gave yesterday, it would surely go down as one of the most embarrassing moments in English sporting history.

    Impossible though.

    Must be....
