[holdsteady]

Less than a hundred with 6 wickets remaining at lunch, only ourselves to blame if we don’t win this one.

Let’s hope so

Australia are a much poorer team without Lyon.
England should win now really....

 

[holdsteady]

Stokes gone.

They are but we can make the hard look easy but the easy look hard.

Bairstows revenge?

No.....
WTF has Bairstow been doing?

 

[Northstandboy]

JB gone.

 

[Essexyellows]

FFS.

80 needed 4 wickets left..........

 

[Northstandboy]

If we don’t win this we deserve a white wash against us!

 

[Sir Winston]

Drop him now, he’s been absolutely rubbish and a liability in this series

 

[SteMerritt]

God we are going to blow it aren't we...

 

[ZeroTheHero]

God we are going to blow it aren't we...

It was never very likely we'd win. I am still hoping the tailenders get us there of course, but they won't.

 

[holdsteady]

Brook to make his name here? Probably clutching at straws now as we look like we actually enjoy throwing it away but fingers crossed this is the test that sees Brook push on from potential to big player for England.

He has played very sensibly to date.
If Brooks is out soon that is nearly game over

It’s all on him, obviously needs help but our tail won’t put much on without a batsmen with them.

 

[SteMerritt]

50 more. Come on boys...

 

[Leysboy]

Brook and Woakes need to stay there. If one of these get out sharpish I fear we will get bowled out.

39 to go.

 

[SteMerritt]

Oh no, Brook goes, 21 still needed.

 

[holdsteady]

Tense now
