Wonder if the Oz will declare at 179, following Joe's equal score precident, so leaving us with absolutely no chance.

They'll just keep going until they're all out, plenty of time left and the weather looks good.

Cummins out for 6, now 234-8 and England already require more than their most successful ever run chase in history. :'(

Not looking good but England have two days to fill with batting entertainment

It's not like the Aussies scored 600 in their first innings and they still need 10 English wickets

Burns and Roy have walked out to their creases, time to hide behind the sofa. :unsure:

I have a great feeling about this , but I do about every chase however unlikely but one day I will be right :)

This has a different feel, instead bit trying to survive for 3 or 4 sessions chasing an impossible 400 - 450 this is basically saying you have 2 days and 10 wickets to make 350. Obviously it all depends on how the wicket plays and how Australia bowl.

Just set mini targets; get below 300 required etc

C'mon England.

Nicely put, Mike. :thumb:

There's actually much more than 2 days remaining and what the England batsmen need to do is be patient and not slash at every ball, just play the balls that they can score runs from and that will wear down the Aussie bowlers. This is a test match and not a 1 day game, there's tons of time and 10 wickets left and England have several players that can score centuries.

Burns out after a silly slash at the ball for 7, 15-1.
