No chance now! tomorrow morning will determined if there can be a result in the game.

England have the edge but unless they get Aus out for under 150 , match is heading towards draw

We will have the advantage once Smith gets out.
Until then, its still in the balance, and a draw is most likely.

England getting lead of 100 plus and then adding 200 to give Aus target of 300 plus with a day to get them out.Still, Draw presently most probable

Need a wicket

If Jimmy was playing Aussies would be 7 down by now

Smith on 23 already

I wonder if Woakes is enjoying the fact that he's now Root's 4th seamer.

Gotta get that caant out ffs

Those 20 runs came quickly so unless we start getting wickets at this rate they will be in a position to go for a win.

Wade out

What is the plan v Smith? I know he is good but we should have a better plan against him. Its not acceptable to let him average over 100 in this series!

Lol no.

Its gonna be a draw.

England looked to have a slim chance of victory but needed to knock them down quickly with a hundred odd lead.

Until Smith is out I can’t get my hopes up

Smith doesn’t look like getting out, chanceless so far this morning.

Smith is a cant. Just bowl at his disgusting face

Still think the Aussies could win this if they are 100 ahead by close. Our chances are dwindling.

No facking way should they be though

They're 130 behind with bowlers to come

Once again too many back of a length deliveries.

No way

Even if they’re 120 ahead tonight they need to bat till about 3pm tomorrow to set a total they can defend, and they are 5 wickets down already.

Our batting is shiiit but surely even we’re good enough to not lose 10 wickets from 3pm till close tomorrow.

That's the length to bowl Woakes

Not sure about that, they have another innings. I think they’d rather declare about 100 ahead overnight then put us in the morning. We could easy collapse to 150 all out in two and a half sessions leaving them an easy chase of 50 in the final hour.

They will want to bowl at us earlier rather than later.
