One of the few downsides of Bazball, it’s not often that you have pretty much two full days to chase a score to win.
Australia can just keep grinding out a score knowing that they have plenty of time, and if the rain intervenes they still win the series.
Assuming there’s not much more play today, England need quick wickets tomorrow morning & hope the Aussies start to panic.

Broad getting his warm up gig/interview for Sky Cricket with an easy segment talking about and giving tip to improving young bowlers. I think the job is his if he wants it.

With 5 Batters England had 25O runs
at a similar stage, Aussies have 225...
Would be a key time to get Smith out as that'll unsettle Head.
After then, getting Marsh and Cummins out would see the rest tumble really. This session I think is the one where they need to get the key wickets. Maybe bring Root in for a few cameo overs? Pitch seemed to work well for Murphy...although it is a bit ''greener'' than it was before the recent rain.

Yep. Harsh and an instinctive thing to do....that was the wicket I was hoping for. All about the afternoon session still. At least England know they have a way of getting Smith out...they just need to remember that catches win matches. Edit: or they'll be shafted by beautiful English Summer Rain again...

Cummins is the final key wicket to take. Never underestimate a captain.
Bairstow looking like player of the Test so far. Upped his batting game and that reaction time to catch Marsh. Not bad for a fatty.
I don't like cricket. I love it.
