    Are the aussies now rattled? No Smith. They have to soon bat to either win the game or save it.

    Didnt touch it anyway......

    Same old Aussies, always cheating.

    I guess you have to take into account Smith normally gets a 100 as well and stays around for eternity. Take him out we may have a chance. Also the Archer factor.

    Was it Sri Lanka England bowled out in the final session of a test match to win it when everyone had given it up as a draw?

    I think it would be good for Sky to be showing how overs are left in the day....that's about the only thing that's important at the moment. 

    I reckon about 60-65. Assuming a maximum rr of 4 per over I would pull out within the next 30 mins or so. Add another 50 or 60 quick runs  leaving them 250  in 55 overs.

    Barring a quick collapse I think we can avoid Archer going out for a bat first. Keep him nice and fresh to rip into them.

    I am suprised they haven't mentioned it.
    It seems they have comoletly missed that part out.

    Who is commentating now?
    Bumble and Atherton?
    Yet none of them have mentioned it.

    Bat another 15-16 overs and give ourselves 40 at the Aussies.

    Yes. I think it was. To be fair Sri Lanka were very poor if it was them.

    Here comes the instructins. 2 more overs I reckon, or Stokes gets a 100 and that will be that.

    250 off 50 would be my choice

    More musings........

    We lost 10 overs today.....so 88 to play today. Effectively lost the ones made up for the ones lost earlier in the week. 

    What I dont understand is that Lords has floodlights. Why not just play the allotted 98 overs  & finish at 7.30 / 8pm...??  I know 20/20 games have cut off times (usually 10pm ish) & Lords probably has time constraints laid down by the council, but surely for an Ashes Test they would have sought some sort of extension or provision for this.

    And we had Swann as well....

    Need more time than that. Also might be good to dangle a carrot, otherwise they might go full defensive mode & will leave most balls alone. Get them driving at the ball chasing runs.

    Win Viz now saying  95%  the draw & 5% England. 

    54 overs left in the day. Lose 2 for the changeover so I think Win Viz are 100% correct. 

    Might turn over & watch the football, or the sunday film.

    I would guess when Stokes is out, that will be it (or his 100 whichever comes first).

    50 overs and 250 runs would be interesting with out the maestro batting ?
