The Ashes

[knockers]

Australia 60 all out
Extras top scored with 14
Broad 8 for 15 runs

That's the follow on saved then 😀

Bit of luck and we might have a chance here.

The last test was over in three days. This one looks like it could be over in two.

I'm actually impressed with how England have bounced back from that 2nd test defeat.  The Aussies had the upper hand and England slammed the door in their faces

[Donnywolf]

AND they (England) were 9/4 to win this game as against 11/10 ON for the Aussies

We would have won the second test if we had won the toss. Scoreboard pressure beat us there.

12.40pm England with a 331 lead with 9 down and the new ball still swinging, I'd declare, get the bowlers out there and try and finish this in two days

[Filo]

And just as I post that England declare :-)

[Donnywolf]

Well I declare - a Psychic !

How's it going to go from here do you think ? I reckon they will just about make us bat again and we will have to wait to knock them off tomorrow late on

[Filo]

Despite it being sunny here theres been cloud cover At Trent Bridge all morning, the ball has been moving, if that cloud cover continues I can see it being over today, if it brightens up the Aussies might last to around lunchtime tomorrow when we will have wone by an innings

[Donnywolf]

William Hill offer 50 to 1 for a Draw but only 13/2 for an Australia win

Seems wrong way round to me ! If the weather intervenes it makes it less likely for an Australia win and more likely for a draw

It probably will be neither but anyway I had a bit of the 50/1

[GM-MarkB]

If the Aussies lose, looking at the last 20 minutes before Tea, it'll be because they haven't learnt the lessons from the first (and previous) innings. Warner...woeful shot, Marsh..carbon copy of 1st innings & Smith just couldn't resist.

Credit to Cook, he's setting fields based on prior knowledge of the Oppo and it's working

Will Clarke sucumb to his poor form after Tea. I reckon Broad with have him for the 12th time in the Aussie Skippers career when they resume

[glosterred]

Good job the football season starts tomorrow, the third day, if there is one, doesn't look as though it will be a long day

Saw the Papers review on BBC yesterday after the 60 all out and the Sun made me laugh (it may be a first) with ...

"Put another Wimp on the Barbie"
