If we get started at about 2 or so this is going to be a stonking 50 overs or so.

It is a bit funny to see him scoring more than Marnus and Smith combined. Head is a strange batter. Excellent record but he's backing off to square leg more than I do and looks about as comfortable against the short ball! |

I was half way through getting cross about bringing on a one fingered Moeen on and giving them free runs... I have no idea whether Stokes is a genius, but he isn't he's super lucky and frankly, who cares which is true!

Good partnership for the Aussies… Khawaja looks like he could bat all day

98 to win, 5 wickets in hand, one long session ahead. Predictions time? I think England by five runs, but it's going to be an absolute cracker.

Hope your right and still all to play for but can see the Aussies winning with wickets in hand as conditions seem pretty good for batting.

If we can't win a test match in front of an Edgbaston crowd where Smith and Labuschagne have barely contributed with the bat, you wonder if we're capable of winning at all.
Australia for me are comfortably the better side, but Stokes the better captain. He's doing his absolute best with what he has available.

What have you based them being comfortably the better side on? |

I mean in general, not necessarily in terms of this test match. They have the top 3 batsmen in the world, the beast seam attack in the world, a genuine world class spinner and a decent all rounder too. |

Often outnumbered, never outgunned.

Keep Mo away from bowling. We cannot leak cheap runs here. Simple equation, take out the tail. Khawaja will not be moved easy.
