Well here we go again. Aus win the toss for first time in the series. Let's hope for a great match

Probable but that could be a double edged sword. Not sure Aus will relish a couple of hours in these conditions

Very handy!
Bring on day at 3/184 having dropped Brook early I thought we might be in a fair bit of strife… nice to have an extended stretch of good bowling conditions

An absorbing day. Belligerent and attritional.
If Aus edged the day yesterday then suspect England edged it today (2 sessions to 1 IMHO).
I think it has really highlighted the completely different approaches of the 2 teams over the last 2 days. (Not that it needed highlighting!). And both achieving pretty much the same result in the end.

Anyway whatever way you look at it, its effectively now a three day one innings test match. Let's see what tomorrow brings

Looks like a drawn series is impending
Very well done to the English for clawing their way back in, rain a boon for the Aussies in the last test
Overall an incredibly finely balanced series with England improving throughout, the Aussies stagnating

Still some life in this game I reckon.
Perhaps and I hope so big ask for the Aussies to chase even 250 though

More like 400 or more at this rate

2 days to get 400 😁
If they bat like the first innings it will only take them 160 overs 👍 Easy enough

Fantastic gesture by the Australian team this morning following the announcement of Broad's International test retirement at the end of the game. Respect!

The crowd cannot believe it. Stokes can’t believe what he has done - his body language was the giveaway, he didn’t have full control of the ball as it fell from his grasp like a bar of Imperial Leather in the shower.
