Good to see Sir Geoffrey Boycott gobbing off and gesticulating in the crowd.
Tough few months back there.

England keeping the run rate down, giving themselves every chance.... to collapse embarrassingly again.
Christ almighty, what was bethel thinking with that hairdo.
He looks a total ponce
274 caps for Eng of which 137 by Adil vs 766 by Aus. Statement knocks by Brook and Jacks. Well done the lads. Way to go yet though.
Oops.
Just need to bat sensibly but this is where the inexperience may tell.
Have to say Archer was average again. Carse upped it a bit but our death bowling ain't up to it with this weaker line up.
Poor from Smith after the Drinks break. Not taking test lessons into Whiteball
Great ton by Brooke as Capt. 5 RPO from here. Root needs to be in this team to steady the ship. Smith should be able to do that as evidenced batting with the tail end but he's failed thus fat in 50 overs this series. Hope he learns.
The commentators seem to think we'd be fine if it goes to DLS.
The convicts put England in to bat. Reduced to 43ovs.
More rain but the radar says none after that.
Fuck knows how many overs will be left.
Two big wickets taken by the Aussies there.
Well I can't imagine the convicts are too happy about that.
Now please England - don't fuck it up!
312 from 39 is a nice total. Great 50 from Livingstone at the end.
Carse exploring the roads outside the ground, again
Tightened up by Eng and 3 wickets for the 3 quicks. Looks a tall order for Aus now.
Encouraging seeing Archer getting back up to speed. Carse and pots seem to be growing In confidence. Wood injury aside and if we have options on Robinson and Overton then we have quite a strength in depth for the Ashes ...... for a change.
6 an over chasing 9 and they're 6 down.
Brilliant stuff.
Could just bowl out the quicks here, that would be a humiliation![]()
A truncated 39 over game and Aus bowled out in 25 with a 186 run win. All to play for in the 5th game.... if it doesn't get washed out
