    Archer also has to be careful of no balls asClose to overstepping with his front foot. Hate to see him get a wicket & then get it no-balled.

    all 3 results still possible. They need about 6 and over. The worry is that if there are about 10 overs left and only say 3 or 4 wickets down they could go for this.

    No chance will the Aussies go for this, can’t see England getting 8 wickets either.

    Sheer pace at one end, then a decent spinners at the other. Test cricket at its best.
    Shame about the lost five sessions.
  • Headingly is apparently tons faster than Lord's too, Archer on that....

    This is now fast heading towards a draw. No complaints. It's the way it is. Both sides have done well to adapt to the conditions and sessions and state of play. It just goes to show you how much of a difference Smith is to Australia. Without him and both sides are even. Now watch Smith being passed fit for next test.

    Exciting but doesn’t harm them either, would imagine Starc will be brought in for Siddle with a point to prove.

    This is the third Test Match in the World Test Championship.  We're not in the top two!

    Yes, they can.  But the best odds you can get at the moment are 1,000-1.  And, in context, you can get 500-1 on Charlton winning the FA Cup this season.

    Is Smith really so good that we can’t even get his substitute out?
