Marnus knew he'd hit that.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

Could do with a wicket about now...
Edit: And there goes the lynchpin. Maybe Wilson needs to take his shades off. Labo was always going to get impatient eventually so a great wicket
Get Marsh or Carey and the rest will tumble quite quickly
I'm going to say England will need something like 65 runs to win. Should be able to do that in the space of one session tomorrow
Soo nearly a 6th wicket there too. It's coming though I think. Root finding his stride now after being thrashed about all over the place previously. Kudos to Bairstow - probably one of the players of the Test, and most of us {understandably} called for him to be dropped after underperforming. Not sure who said it but Bairstow often comes to the best when faced with one more failure.

Marnus told Marsh he’d hit it. |

Yep, he nodded and you knew he had. I heard something and it certainly seemed like bat. Snicko confirmed it
All good for England
All good for the Ashes
All good for cricket

Rain over Old Trafford set for about another hour. England should take the hour to 7.30pm to try and get out Marsh tonight. Weather pending will then give them 2 sessions to get the other 4 out and a session to score any limited runs England might need. |

With tomorrow's forecast looking poor the match is finally poised😀 |

Old Trafford & Gorse Hill Weather Update  Rain maps stating no precipitation between now and 1pm... Radar maps show current front across the NW, Pennines and NE slowly drifting from SW to NE and clearing. Manchester and Liverpool are literally right on the Southern edge of that front. The only danger is if the front "spirals" a bit and the direction goes from a SW-NE to a NW-SE direction, meaning it'll bring more showers back towards Manny! Long and short of that is, it looks like there will be some play today. Maybe upto lunch with just cloud if lucky so that'd be nice. After lunch?! Could be a wash out so if England get a good chunk of this morning session in, then they've got to be ruthless and try and bowl out the Aussies in that session! It wouldn't be an Ashes Series in the UK if we weren't talking about how the weather might be the only real winner in a decisive Test Match - let's hope it isn't because that's just not cricket! |

If the Aussies retain the Ashes because of the weather after getting a pummelling through this whole test match, it'll be a travesty.

Aussies bat deep and Marsh looks in great touch. Can’t help but feel yesterday we wasted our chance a little. If we had them 7 or 8 down, I’d be confident of bowling them out in a 30 minute period, but it makes our job a very uphill battle today, especially if they end up with any form of lead. Would be very Australian to have us chasing 20, light goes dark, Australia refuse to bowl their part-time spinners resulting in both teams going off for poor light.

The problem with weather maps they don't show drizzle precipitation which got me wet three times this morning after 9am😆 |

I never understand why they don't have a sixth day on standby if several hours play has been lost. |

They did for the World Test Final, but logistically it's very difficult for every game, having all the suppliers, broadcasters etc. just on hold in case. |
