Hard call that mate havent seen the run rate , its overcast so the ball should be swinging & reverse swinging a bit , in saying that if its warm it will take its toll on the seamers , im geting splinters off this fence ha ha , priority one is to have i would think at least 4 wickets left at end of day day so 275-300 for 5/6

I would take 275-300 for 6/7 now. I think that will be good enough. If the Aussies are swinging it Jimmy will be lethal and the pitch sounds like it will turn so its set up for Englands attack if we can get the runs on the board.

I do trust test cricket.. but not when India is playing it..

I was thinking around 300-7 too.. but KP was always going to ruin it (or pull it off). Hopeing that Bell & Bairstow stay till till, else downward revision coming soon.

Id say ya would , Trott was still there as i was typing that ha ( had i a feeling id curse him) , need them to steady the ship now & just not lose wickets for a bit , its to be sunnier the next few days i reckon Eng will bowl the aussies cheap enough

 

[vkurup]

Now I will happily take 240-50/8 to finish the day..

• 213-7 to 215 all out .... ah come on ??? at this level the tail enders have to add something ,

 

[Imurg]

Not looking too bad now....

Had a feeling the Eng bowlers would enjoy the first 2 possibly 3 days on that pitch .. following it on SSN ,

 

[Beezerk]

Usual story, batters play like duffers and the bowlers bail them out.
Great days cricket though.
