I assume you're all forgetting that in a 4 day test, there would be more overs per day, so we'd be further along in the game at this point?

England one partnership away from winning this!

Australia will not have the luxury of having the new ball under lights - smith hasn't got his tactics right

Not sure they'll change, and don't call me Shirley.

I'm not either, but they should for sure. We all make mistakes, recognising and correcting them quickly is the key.

big big big session first up tomorrow but in root woakes ali bairstow and overton we have the batting to do this, and with ali the only recognised lefty to come lyon may not be as much as a threat!

still australia game to lose but im hopeful we can do something special,

if we get close i think it will give us a great boost to hopefully get something out of the series, whatever the result tomorrow the 3rd test at the WACA is vital!

COME ON ENGLAND

Think I'll be adopting my 2 years olds bedtime tonight and getting up at 4.30.

If England lose tomorow then the Wacca is a dead rubber for me.

I believe the plan is to play 105 overs in a day, rather than 90. Therefore only losing 30 overs vs a 5 day test.

15 extra overs, will just mean 30 minutes earlier start, then either another 30 minutes at the end, or squeeze the tea & lunch breaks.


I know, I know, that's too logical an answer. Silly me.

MAKE THEM PLAY 24 HOURS, 2 DAY TESTS, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH

If not woakes then who?
He bends his back bowling and doesn't look bad batting

Sounds like it's been an entertaining days play

Chris Woakes is very good and will end up with 300 + test wickets. Once Anderson retires he’ll take the new ball and show how much he can swing it in England. He was told to add 5mph on to his bowling a few years ago, went away and did it. He’s also got 9 first class 100’s

Note to England fans.
The game will be over as a contest when we wake up tomorrow.
Don't waste your hope :(

Although Woakes at 6 is inspired...!
