Aussies 4/116 at stumps Day 2.

Warner    1
Khawaja 43
Labushagne 33
Smith    2
Head   18*
Marsh  17*

A lead of 142 runs.

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

[WilliamPowell]

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

Marnus and Smith have thrown away their wickets. England are in box seat .

[Tiger Khosh]

Bloody rain

[mightytiges]

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

[mightytiges]

Well we got one over for 2 runs and then back off again  .

[mightytiges]

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.

[Andyy]

Marsh and Carey gone cheap.

Test looks lost.

[mightytiges]

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.

[one-eyed]

No quick wickets.

Eng 0/27 at Stumps.

[WilliamPowell]

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

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

[Diocletian]

Poms will get that in about session and a half....

[mightytiges]

The focus on Warner being Broad's bunny (fair enough too) is covering for Labuschagne who has had a poor Ashes so far. Six innings and not once reached 50 as a No.3: 0, 13, 47, 30, 21, 33. He needs to be turning at least some of these 20/30-something starts into big scores. Do that in the last two tests and we will win the series.
