I step away for a couple of hours and wtf...we are still only down 2?!

[Mike]

Have you been down to the offie to get the beers in for the Arsenal game?

[slogen51]

Shhh we want a really boring final session for the day with no excitement or drama.

[Mike]

Blimey, 100-2 !

[Mike]

[James Cutting]

Have you been down to the offie to get the beers in for the Arsenal game?

Yes, alongside a Cobra Ball and E-4B

[Mike]

Nice one.

[Mike]

Denly on 50 and Root on 61, 137-2. This is more like it!

[Mike]

Denly gone for 50, 141-3.

Doesn't look like a fifth day will be required - either England get the runs or the Ashes stay in Australia.

Massive session tomorrow morning with the new ball due

[Mike]

Day 3 has finished with England on 156-3 who just need another 203 runs to win.

[James Cutting]

"Just"...! So close...

[Mike]

Day 4 about to start, new ball due in 8 overs time.

[Mike]

Root gone for 77, 159-4.

[Nighthawke]

New ball? More like a new team needed!

[Mike]

England are 238-4 at lunch, still need 121 to win.

[slogen51]

Could have got 4/1 against at the beginning on the innings, not very generous considering the first innings, in play odds are 7/4 to win tonight!

[Mike]

Bairstow gone for 36, 245-5. Still need 114 to win.

[Mike]

Buttler run out, 253-6 now.

All hope is fading fast.
