Going to be tough. Really need Head, Marsh and Carey to score half centuries at least.

Surely that’s it for Warner
He’s a liability

At least in this series

He is clueless against Broad. And hopeless in English conditions

And fancy gifting wickets to Moeen Ali. Marnus and Steve Smith should be embarrassed by their dismissals

Yep

We need to somehow get the lead to 250+

Anything more would be massive

Should be an awesome day of cricket coming up

They are hoping for it to clear up in an hour, but it doesn't sound promising.

Back out playing again. 8 runs off the first over back.

They said 30 overs left in the day if there's no more rain delays.

Marsh and Carey gone cheap.

Test looks lost.

Aussies 224 all out.

A lead of 250 runs. It could've been a hell of a lot worse without Head's 77 at the end.

At least it gives us a chance provided we can get some early wickets. Should be around 10 6-7 overs left before stumps.

Our batting this test especially the 2nd innings was 2nd rate  :banghead

Memo to selectors if you are fair dinkum about winning the Ashes you must drop Warner. It is embarrassing for everyone, especially Warner himself seeing him being Broad's bunny
