*****Official Ashes thread*****

Our lead is at least 50 runs smaller than it should have been, but hopefully we can build something reasonable pretty fast.
 
Very interesting situation now. Do Australia go for it and get England batting again as soon as possible, at the expense of getting bowled out/declaring leaving a achievable run chase and potentially losing. Or do they bat a bit longer/safer to make sure of a bigger target, at the expense of a likely draw outcome...

Edit: they have to go for it, really, I reckon.

Wicket loss isn't really a problem so long as run rate is decent and at the moment it is. Lets face it, its unlikely we are going to have to bowl the entire Australian order out this innings.

Looks like its all down to the weather surely a draw is the most likely outcome now

I don't think so - Australia need to win this match, can't see them being this on top again in the series. They have to declare setting England a total that isn't unreachable, otherwise England will bat out.
