Why are we just throwing wickets away? We are in a very strong position, but not in one where the Aussies have no chance

[taylorsworkrate]

This is fucking braindead cricket again

Good fielding from the Aussies for the previous deliveries despite the game situation.

Don't look like a beaten side.

Wood tossing his wicket away now as well.

[PaulWinch again]

We’ve subsided a bit here.

We've played sensible but still aggressively all day, but have lost the plot in the last 45 minutes or so.

The umpires have just stood by and allowed Australia to blatantly waste time there.

Joel Wilson has had a terrible series.

Joel Wilson has had a terrible series.

He's a terrible umpire

This is Brian Lara, not the Burnley Lara.

[taylorsworkrate]

This is where cricket makes itself look a bit silly. 10 overs just lost. The light is absolutely fine so there is no reason why they can't continue playing.

All the current regulation of only 30 minutes being added does is encourage teams to bowl at a snails pace when they are behind in the game.

Excellent day from England. I would have bit your hand off for that at the start of the day.

Yeah overall it has been a great day. They lost the plot the last hour or so though.

We've outplayed the cons this series. They will escape with a drawn series but it's a hollow holding of the ashes from them.

[PaulWinch again]

Broad retiring, quite the surprise.

Broad retiring, quite the surprise.

I didn’t see that coming, he’s been fantastic in this series
