Atkinson and Carse giving us a chance here. Anything we set them over 200 will be a tough target, provided we bowl as well in their second innings as the first.

Diabolical decision for the Smith dismissal but Atkinson and Carse have been brilliant. Come on England. Shame Carse has gone but this lead is a good one.

This is the classic 'is it worth going for it THIS much?'

Here's hoping for four innings under 200

Can't have a go too much at the lower order. They've added runs to at least give us something to bowl at. (Though I think we are about 40 runs short)

Pope, Brook and Root should be fucking embarrassed at the way they gave their wickets away

Yeah, I think that's about right.

If we bowl well, take our catches and get a dodgy decision or two (as they did) we’ll win.

I'd rather be chasing this total than defending it but let's see how we get on

Our bowlers seem very deflated at the moment.

Who can blame them?

Listening on ABC, sounds like fairly easy going for the Aussia batsmen. Doesn't seem like the intensity from yesterday is there. Aus to win by 5 or 6 wickets.

And as I write, potential wicket
