It’s still going to be an absolutely crushing defeat. We have one batsman left.

A minimum of 38 overs remain today.

England would gratefully take 0-60 in those overs; leaving a mere 250 to compile on the last day

Australia want a minimum of 3 wickets in the session and would be happy to concede 120.

I wonder if Smith might bowl?

No offence to Embee, I have no doubt he'd do better.

I'd have every dismissal reviewed ...and the review process controlled by the umpires

So they would review when not certain?

Review - Out
Review - not out

Review - Fielding team ( cost of 5 runs if not umpires call (LBW) or out)

Wont happen ...but I believe its a better system than we have

Yep seems sensible so therefore will not happen.

With the high error count and bad blood between the teams, this match - without DRS - may have descended to head butts at dawn.

Bairstow = Meadowlea

0-60? What match/series are you watching! More chance of it being done and dusted tonight.

by lardbucket Tue 05 Dec 2017, 08:35

vilks I was wondering what England's goal for the session would be, and what they'd be happy with

by embee Tue 05 Dec 2017, 08:35

You've got Root ...nice 50 and out ...and Vince ....nice 30 and out...at the crease

0/80 is on the cards

I'll ve very surprised if England don't lose 4 in this session.

by lardbucket Tue 05 Dec 2017, 08:38

I'll be very happy if they do, as suggested in the musing post ^.

by horace Tue 05 Dec 2017, 08:40

Really. I am hopeful we will get two and have them 4/170 at stumps. Runs coming easily off Koo.

by skully Tue 05 Dec 2017, 08:54

Koo gets Vince with a wide one. 3-91

by skully Tue 05 Dec 2017, 09:05

Elmer gets Root but he reviews

Would definitely have taken 0-60. I’d take 3-60 to be honest.

by skully Tue 05 Dec 2017, 09:06

Root dodges a bullet. Going over.

by skully Tue 05 Dec 2017, 09:06

Very odd no shot there from Root.

by lardbucket Tue 05 Dec 2017, 09:09

umpires seem to be having a very poor match

by skully Tue 05 Dec 2017, 09:25

Review for inside edge off Root.

by skully Tue 05 Dec 2017, 09:25

Not out.

by skully Tue 05 Dec 2017, 09:29

Now an lbw review v Malan.

by skully Tue 05 Dec 2017, 09:29

This looks close.

by skully Tue 05 Dec 2017, 09:30

Over the top again. No reviews left.

by WideWally Tue 05 Dec 2017, 09:33

That was always going to be too high.

Australia needs a new captain for the 3rd test. Mitchell Marsh perhaps?

by skully Tue 05 Dec 2017, 09:34

Is Bob Simpson still breathing?

by lardbucket Tue 05 Dec 2017, 09:35

no lbws now, so I think England are home ...
