Australia bowled 144 overs. We've already bowled 205 overs. That's 61 more overs and probably 5 more hours in the field. 

That's important for the next Test also

This is over

Need a miracle now

Who had the Australian 9th wicket putting on 50 runs in the post-tea session on day 5?

kentaddick

Cummins has been class, real leadership.

MarcusH26

Going to Robinson is bizarre even if Jimmy hasn't been at his best 

(I want to be eating my words)

corr the negativity on here is as bad as the takeover thread! Unbelievable test match that we look like coming up just short. We go again

Win viz is rubbish. Australia are 1.46

Always said it was horseshit 

Just like Stokes' ridiculous declaration.

Yeah, we have to try and win the series, no point drawing to placate the Boycs

This is the over.

It ends here.

Light meter anyone  ?

kentaddick

One bad ball away from defeat 

kentaddick

Pope bottled it 

Covered End

The ridiculous early declaration (and it was even if we win this game), was akin to football tactics from 70 years ago, when defending mattered little and it was all about scoring as many as you can.
Better to lose 5-4 than win 1-0.

Shite.

Amazing performance from Lyon and Cummings.  Better than our 3 opening bats.

Weegie Addick

Missed far too many chances sadly

Rothko

Great game, not quiet there, but what a cracker 

Covered End

Bag of shite.
Great game that we lost through poor decision making.

MarcusH26

Too many missed chances and no balls. Will be interesting to see the side for Lords because I'm not convinced Robinson is at all fit and obviously Moeen has his finger issues. 

Callumcafc

Well done England. By far better to lose like that than by blocking to 250 & 150 and losing by an innings.

Stunning performance by Cummins there. Just when it looked like England had it in the bag, he played the innings of his life.

Bangkokaddick

Great test match, regardless of the result. Four more like that please!

Not sure how it was well done to lose a game in that manner 

Chunes

Watching the Aussies celebrate is always sickening

Real captains performance from him. Dragged his side through it.
