It won't be a draw. If they bat all day, then they'll reach 250 I would have thought

Stokes and Prior put on another 140, Prior and Bresnan grind out a painful 60, Bresnan and Swanny squeak out 15 before Prior is stumped. Broad edges 8 through the slips before running away from another yorker, then Swanny and Jimmy slap and giggle a quick 30 (mainly over the slips) and we're home and dry!

I would hope they would rather go down swinging than spend a day trying to eke out a draw.  Swann isn't a defensive batsman and neither are Prior and Broad.  Stokes could do a job, but he looks more of a dasher than a blocker.  I say go down in a blaze of glory!

I admire you lads optimism but i reckon we'll be blown away by the new ball within the first 20 overs. Was nice to finally win a session again though.

3 batsmen at the wicket? That might work!

agree, I think this is mostly likely!

However, still 13 overs until the new ball and that gives the batsman some time to get in. Once you are in it does look pretty flat. No doubt England have enough batting to chase down another 250 on their day and Australia looked flat in that last session. Would make a very interesting day!

Yeah, wicket inside the first session and we're done.

I am 99% sure that we will be telling the Aussies, "Well played and well done for claiming the Ashes back again!"
I can't imagine that our lower order batsmen will suddenly click and score hundreds!

Aussies batting - 11 x 50's and 7 x 100's! Batting average for top 7 batsmen = 48.9
England batting - 9 x 50's and 0 x 100's! Batting average for top 7 batsmen = 27.7

IMO, the bowlers seem off because they are in the field most of the time! Why? Because the batting is failing!!
One of the commentators said that there is only one day in the Ashes so far, that the Engalnd team have not had to field and bowl!
I suggest that unless England get some grit and balls, and bat better, then it'll be 5-0! We will have to start calling the Aussie team Liverpool and the English team Tottenham!!

The tail has also been much worse than the bat than the aussies, which was a big factor in the first two tests, if less so here.

These two could bat till tea, and England still could be able to be bowled out.
