Going at over 9 runs an over.

In test cricket.

What the fuck!

Sometimes you’ve just got to make sure it’s out.

England have felt a bit doomed since Root got out today.

Been a stonking test match so far.

250 is a massive carrot though but they’ll be lucky to even get that

Edit: 250 achieved :clap:

Bollocks. Australia anti-bazballing it for the win.

I haven’t been watching, reckon we can skittle 5 within 98 runs @Les_Zeppelin ?

Couple of quick wickets and we’ll definitely be back in it. Their wicketkeeper, Carey and Cummins can bat but Lyon and Hazlewood aren’t so good.

Auzzies are sort of trying to parallel park a cruise ship. If they keep this concentration and England can’t get the breakthrough then yeah. I think Aus are medium favourites but what do I know :man_shrugging:

All it takes is one ball from somewhere to change the game though. Moeen obviously struggling which is not helping things.

Psychologically the sub 100 chase is big. 5 wickets left…how many overs before light comes into play…

Hopefully a bit of drama to come because this has been proper sludge for the last couple of hours.

89 more runs feels like a lot of runs again.

Come on!

This is torture

Absolutely devastated. Feels like years since Root took that belter.

Got to hand it to Australia and Khawaja and Cummins especially. And Lyons actually. Fuckers.

Are they deliberately making this is as painful as humanly possible? Get on with it you bastards.

438

England have basically been ahead for the whole match. Feels like some fucker pipping you on the line in Mario Kart.

Oh well :frowning:

Small margins. Declaring on the first evening was a mistake in retrospect. Ali’s injury didn’t help. Some dropped chances, notably from Bairstow. But a thrillingly close match sets up the series. Going to be tasty.
