    Will Jimmy come out to bat if we go nine down with four or five runs to get?

    Look how the wicket played today - totally becalmed - and all three wickets were either lucky or poor shots.

    Yet some of the bed wetters - who clearly have no idea about cricket - say England would struggle to make 120!

    Hilarious.

    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

    That's like saying Sheffield united will come good.

    Let's see what batting conditions are like with a new ball.

    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.

    If you can't make 120 to win a Test Match on a 3rd day pitch then you have no business being in Test cricket.

    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!

    I'm going for a win by 7 wickets.

    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.

    13 runs per partnership is enough. Not that I want to see us 91 for 7.

    Bell dropped by Clarke. How the Aussies must wish they could drop Clarke.

    Bell's decided that the best way to knock off these runs is play it like a T20!!!

    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?

    Lyth is not good enough!!

    Don't know what Compton did wrong last time. I would give him a go.

    One more wicket straight away and I will get twitchy.
