There’s still pretty much a day and a half left. Nowhere near enough runs at the minute.

Forecast isn't great tomorrow though. Right now play before lunch looks unlikely. Haven't got a clue what will happen in truth but we're in a tight spot right now.

Basically what he said then, after lunch it's only around 20% but before that we're screwed. Can't we do what China did with the opening ceremony? Surely worth a hundred mil.

That's fucked it

"I reckon if he could have got his fingers under the ball then I think that's out". Yeah, no shit.

We've got nowhere near enough runs on what is still a very good pitch to bat on

[taylorsworkrate]

As much of a fan of the approach that I am, I've got to say this has been a very poor batting display from us in this innings.

Both innings we've managed to get ourselves out after getting in and looking set

[taylorsworkrate]

We've had them on the ropes at numerous points during both our 1st and 2nd innings and then we've gifted them ways back in. The Stumpings to Lyon in particular have been very poor bits of cricket

With the weather forecast tomorrow is it worth thinking about the declaration?

In this position I'd take the draw right now, keep them out there as long as possible

I wouldn't mind it, let's make it interesting.

Only 2 successful runs chases over 250 at Edgbaston.

Only 2 successful runs chases over 250 at Edgbaston.

True, but looking at that statistic, a lot of the chases below that were achieved losing only 1 or 2 wickets, suggesting they would have easily chased 250+ if they had needed to

It will be interesting enough, without declaring.
