Disappointed in smith and marnus but am still warmly confident given Us' first innings ton, Head and Carey's form

Confident or “hopeful”?

Yeah probably somewhere between haha

Look Usman seems to have found his stride, Carey and Head have been batting well, I think they'll have the grit to get it done even if it's close and uncomfortable.

Another century to Usman + MOM, another rapid 50 from head and a steady contribution from Carey. I reckon we can do it.

Plus we have an entire extended day. They can take their sweet ass time

rain will play a part Andy, though looks to only be an issue in the morning.

this is some ripping test match. How good has it been?

I only hope next week is the same as im heading over.

Every time you think one team is pulling away the other comes back.

Match is finely poised and could legitimately go either way. Very important that Usman and whoever comes in once Bolland inevitably gets out form a steady partnership and knock atleast 100 runs off the chase.

Hope we beat them so they can pipe down about this ‘bazball’ crap.

Agree very entertaining indeed. Hope we get to shove it up Ollie's anus

The Brits always disappear up their own aholes when they experience a bit of success. What they consider to be revolutionising the game is just not being poo for once. They can never sustain it though.

Bazball lol

Basically how to play test cricket successfully but give it a name and pretend it's a new philosophy

[Diocletian]

Barmy Parrots chanting about us cheating - Poms pretty much pioneered the concept...

RAIN HAS ARRIVED

First sesh called off.

does anyone know if they now have to complete the overs?

Not sure who it favours, possible the poms?

Poms in regards to us having to score quicker and a slower outfield
Poms if overcast for swinging ball

Us in relation to the balls condition deteriorating quicker

Overall, I’d say poms , but the markets haven’t changed surprisingly

[Andyy]

Sunny.

Should fit in 67 overs minimum.

Lots of time, less than 3rpo

[Andyy]

Aussies won by 2 wickets!

Captain's knock  .

Unbelievable win. I went to bed thinking we were done. 54 run unbeaten last stand by Cummins and Lyon.

Stokes may have dropped the urn with that dropped catch
