Are we heading for another declaration with 30 minutes left? I hope not.

Hopefully.. down to a 4 day test with the rain

My weather app isn’t suggesting we are going to lose a day’s play, are the Met Office less reliable these days?

They're doing what commentators should do. Not acting like fans in the way that annoying football commentators do.

Really???

Whoever the Australian lady commentating is on Sky now has just said Englands batting has look subdued since tea as they are only going along at just over 4 an over. It seems the Aussie bowlers have tightened their lines and lengths.

If just over 4 an over is subdued what was she calling the Australian batting in the first innings

It was a subdued spell compared to the rest of our innings.

Great knock from Root.

 

[Chris_Boro]

Another one keeps low on Root.

 

[BoroJake]

Starting to turn and keep low

 

[Chris_Boro]

Decided 350 is enough and trying to have a whack, not quite worked out though.

 

[breakthewallsdown]

Embarrassing anti cricket by Australia at times this series

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

What a fantastic day for England!

Brilliant.

 

[davidmills]

Umpire is a fxxxing joke
Can’t wait to get his finger up to give England out

 

[Kosovo]

80 overs in a full day. Keep them out there

 

[Chris_Boro]

Go out tomorrow, face one ball, then declare.

 

[Easterside_Red]

80 overs in a full day. Keep them out there

With the extra half an hour too. Australia should get heavily fined for that. It's the spectators I feel sorry for.

 

[TeaCider]

Great score, hopefully add a few more on to it and then just got to hope the rain doesn't spoil it.

Looks like it's going to be showers, which with two days to go might actually be good for England, get the aussies on and off a bit.

Broad to retire.

Amazing career, big shoes to fill for England.

 

[Kosovo]

Wow didn’t see that coming.

Love Stuart Broad. Fantastic player. End of an era. Can concentrate on being a pub landlord full time now.

Warner right now...
