Ya gotta love how they put up a fight, give the soap dodgers some small glimmer of hope… then whip them down quicker than a Birmingham tart’s knickers on a Saturday night!

In theory they still could get to 3/180…

Rain might save them!

Rain delay.

Reds to Harry and his bloody rain dance!

^ That's a shame, just when England were getting the upper hand.

Your Aussie daughter won’t be thrilled! Poor lass was hoping for a 5-0

I promised her bangers and mash tonight... if she starts supporting England.

We'll see how this goes.

I'm calling child services, if this isn't blatant abuse I don't know what is.

I reckon someone here should start a gofund me for Mendy’s Aussie daughter’s dinner tonight! Imagine being forced to support England!

4/160 anyone? Root is . . . rooted. Captain's knock . . . ahem.

Cummins is unplayable.

What was better is that he hit Woods clean on the foot and Wood's limping.

Sad, so sad. Hope he hasn't broken a toe ... hope he's broken two

Only against fair-middling opposition.


232/7 . . . do the last hew batsmen have it in them to get another 156 runs in 23 overs?

Bairstow gone! Finally!

8/238 . . . Jaysus . . . 150 to go

140ish for the Poms for a win.

Aussies need 2 wickets.

Pommy batsmen are employing delaying tactics hoping for a 'low light decision.


EDIT ...

Pommy batsmen walks away mid delivery ... gets booed

Congrats Poms. Well fought! An amazing Test. I could not sit for that last hour. My daughter was in tears from the shout I gave on the 9th wicket! Test is King!

FFS they'll be handing them OBE's for drawing one game of the series now

^ Bollox to that. We want Knighthoods!
