Not at the rate they go at, they'll need about 180 overs to get to that total!verylonglegs said:If it looks like there only being four sessions or less of play left they'll have no choice but to bat for the draw imo.

It's a very odd way to start. Not taking easy singles.0

Oh well that didn't last long. Maybe that 6 will be all the difference

Frankly the declaration at Edgbaston made more sense than not declaring last night0

If Pakistan had done what England just did would we all be muttering about bookies?0

I think they just wanted to give Broad a send off.surrey_commuter said:If Pakistan had done what England just did would we all be muttering about bookies?
I think Stokes might bowl today, he has got his arm warmer thingy on that he normally wears to bowl.
Ali is on the field as well.0 -
So with the weather closing in if Pakistan had given up 20 mins would we have so readily accepted such a soft in the head concept.bobmcstuff said:

And let’s give them a few overs to get their eye in before unleashing some Wood thunderbolts.0 -
I don't think letting the most successful opening bowling partnership in history have the new ball is especially controversial myself...surrey_commuter said:

Was a shower here half an hour ago but came to nothing. (We'll be getting their weather a bit before them.)
I think they should have declared. It's breezy and overcast.0 -

He was getting a lot of turn as well. Reckon they might bring Root on later as well.0

The crucial word there is history
In this series Jimmy has fewer wickets than Root0 -

No point bringing Wood on such a slow pitch without the ball moving.surrey_commuter said:The crucial word there is history

Anderson managed to get a couple reversing before lunch - I think they'll bring Wood on at that point.0 -
Possibly just trying to mess with Aussie heads. They would have been expecting to be told they were batting at the last minute but then had to adjust to fielding for a bit before getting batting heads back on. I was thinking about it yesterday evening and decided that was what I’d do as it wasn’t going to take much time out of the game.bobmcstuff said:

Given up trying to get wickets. Now trying to kill them instead. Is it wrong I'm ok with that? 😇0

249 runs tomorrow needed for Australia, 10 wickets for England. Any result possible.0

I feel that to win we need one of our bowlers to have one of those days that gets remembered for years.0
