Add on the 150 runs Crawley said England would win by, England have a 59 lead.

Game still in the balance in real terms though. Tough gig batting in this.

If England need 300 to win in the 4th innings, how are they going to approach it?

Will say it again, England's approach has to be different against the likes of Australia than most other Test sides, not saying they don't have to try and dictate the pace of thier innings, but take conditions/ quality of bowling into account, this Australian attack even minus Lyon and a hit or miss Starc (3/83) commands respect...

With Nathan Lyon injured and likely to miss the rest of the series. I can't see any decent declaration, and Australia will try and bat England out of the match.

Starc has always been Australia's "Blitzkrieg" type bowler - and if he goes for a lot of runs it doesn't seem to matter.

On his day and with the right conditions his bowling usually comes off - as his Test record shows - 310 wickets @ 27.64

I’ve said all along he’s a world class bowler and ECB doesn't know what he’s talking about.

Australia are really struggling here, England need to smell blood

 

[Skippyjack]

As I said it, Warner gone

 

[J_B]

Australia are battling and refusing to give their wickets away.

Compare and contrast with England.

 

[Risc]

Broad off celebrating. What a tool that bloke is

 

[Swanjaxs]

England need to go bang bang bang this session, and quickly

 

[Skippyjack]

England suck poo dung, and they didn't review a clear lbw, shame

Every time I post :lol:
