Why don't the Aussies just cut loose and have a go, 5.5 runs per over needed to win, not impossible with an aggressive approach? Enough wickets in hand to entertain.

Playing for a draw is so dull.

Think that’s it all done now - going to fizzle out for th draw now

Thought your man Leach would have gone through them like a dose of salts....

Just kidding

Need a wicket here to keep the game alive. Leach back on for me, only bowler other than Jof that's looked dangerous on this deck.

Well he has been given the ball again

weathers closing in a bit too, every chance the handshakes arent far away

 

[Dan2501]

Oh dear Jason Roy. That's a shocker.

 

[fundy]

Oh dear Jason Roy. That's a shocker.

esp when youre on Head next man out

Root should be fired as skipper for bringing Archer back here, seems determined to bowl him into the ground. Put your new toy back in the box until Thursday!

 

[Dan2501]

Archer should bowl no more than 2 here unless he picks one up. Have to keep him fresh for the next Test.

 

[fundy]

lol at that being out

now hes really gonna bowl Archer into the ground

 

[Dan2501]

Thank god Joel Wilson is in the 3rd umpire chair That didn't look out to me!

 

[fundy]

add Wade to the helmet club (as i like to call them )

 

[Dan2501]

1 brings 2 so they say. Now the pressure is really on. Wade should never have been out there though, Labuschagne's shot was so dumb given the situation. Should have been padding them away all day.

 

[fundy]

Tim Paine leading from the front lol

 

[Dan2501]

Wow. That's a shocking shot given the situation.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Think on balance, perhaps a draw was inevitable from losing day one completely. Denly's catch a superb and Roy's was poor. Will they keep faith with Roy at the top of the order?

 

[Dan2501]

England have named an unchanged squad for the 3rd Test. Anderson playing in a 3 day game for Lancs starting on Tuesday.

 

[patricks148]

i'm supprised the Aussies lasted 45 overs esp as they are a one man batting line up.

 

[fundy]

Steve Smith wont play in the third test at Headingly due to concussion. His replacement Labuschagne passed concussion tests himself and will play

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Shame in terms of a spectacle and best XI v best XI but a big plus for England and with Archer pounding in a golden opportunity to tie the series
