The rest of the day was washed out. Not a peep out of the usual whinging pommie suspects this time around. So, onto the last day.

Finally, some smart and decent batting

Obvious question; where's it been for the majority of the series?

The rain yesterday helped England. We missed out on a day and half on a docile 4th day pitch with two batsmen set in. Now we've got to start again chasing 250 runs on the 5th day. Warner, Khawaja and Labuschagne out in the first hour already  :P.

Spirit of cricket, hey England? Imagine their reaction if the Aussies were given this... #Ashes



Madness: England gifted ‘brand-spanking new’ ball.

I think they did because Stokes was complaining about it to the umpires.
