Robinson gets one. I love how Stokes plays with the field to confuse the batsman when the surface is saying nothing

1. 378/3 by England vs India, 2022
Only twice had a team previously chased down a target of 200 or more on this ground. England, under new management, wrote another chapter in their wonderful story that is the Summer of 2022, smashing 378/3 to level the series 2-2 against India.
Before that
2. 283/5 by South Africa vs England, 2008
South Africa between 2006 and 2015 were a team to behold. Their away record in that period was a hallmark of a great team, and one such great victory was at Edgbaston in 2008. Graeme Smith’s magnificent 154* was too good for an England attack that included James Anderson and Andrew Flintoff.
3. 211/3 by England vs New Zealand, 1999
England enjoyed some wonderful run chases against New Zealand at Lord’s, Trent Bridge and Headingley in 2022. They also enjoyed a solid run chase way back in 1999, which remains the only other occasion a team tracked down 200+ to win a Test on this ground.

On paper, we’ve won the first innings. They’ve scored less, and taken longer to do it. But the game almost restarts now. If we can stifle Lyon, we should win |

Fingers crossed but somehow I reckon the weather will play a part! |

Lead of 320 ish should be enough. Won’t be easy to bat third innings, but Aussies will not be looking forward to bat on this deck in the fourth innings. Uneven bounce should come into play hopefully, and with the pitch starting to turn, have to hope Ali can bowl, and bowl well.

Honestly I can't see us getting a lead that high. If we do I'm sure it'll be a winning score. I'll be happy with 250-280. |

Realistically, neither can I, however, this is a slow, low deck, not too dissimilar from the pitches we played on in Pakistan. Obviously Australia’s bowling attack is far, far superior, but England went alright out there when setting totals on them pitches. Do agree though, would be happy with 250+ |

Moeen's fucked his finger, which is a predictable outcome for a man who hasn't bowled more than ten overs in years being asked to bowl 30.

I'm not sure how being a regular red ball bowler stops him cutting his finger? |
