Not much movement with the ball so far.

[PaulWinch again]

No they’ve started well. We just need to stay disciplined, the chances will come.

[PaulWinch again]

Need a bit of inspiration. Bit like the first innings get one or two and a few could follow.

[Monty]

Pretty poor morning. Come on Stu, one more spell!

It's all looking a bit ominous at the moment. Nothing in the pitch and we've got a part time spinner bowling pies

Rain has started just in time!

Rain is the last thing England want.

How easy batting is has also shown how stupid England were to just throw 4 or 5 wickets away last night. They really should have ensured they had a lead of at least 450

Yes England were stupid last night but should still win this if weather allows.

I'll take rain all day today and tomorrow, as it looks like the alternative is 3-1 to the Aussies which would really flatter them.

What a heap of garbage Dukes have produced, no swing and bowlers constantly unhappy with it.

Can't see us bowling them out. The pitch is getting better and better to bat on and we are bowling poorly

Nah, it doesn't matter if it's 2-1 or 3-1 now, I'd rather have the chance to beat them.

[PaulWinch again]

Hopefully we’ll come with refreshed ideas tomorrow. It’s still a fair way away for Australia. They could easily lose a few wickets in the morning and it looks very different.

[Risso]

They're essentially starting the day from scratch though, with 248 to chase down. Still a decent total of course, but doable.

[PaulWinch again]

Yep although if they lose a few wickets they might get in a confused mentality as to stick or twist. Not a great day for us, but it’s still very up in the air.
