Well, we kept England under 300 but I don't think it's going to help. Swann will be sending missiles down this pitch. I predict another top order collapse very soon.

really enjoying this

What a tremendous morning, our tailenders have most probably won this for us.

brilliant by swann

shame the blokes at the top of the order didnt put a shift in like the tail enders!

Epic performance from Harris. Puts a hell of an effort in!

This is what the ashes is all about. A tight run-chase coming up that could go down to the wire. I love watching England bowl when they have something like this to aim for.

All out for 330, some brilliant batting from Englands tailenders ie Bresnan and Swann notably.

So 300 to win, gonna be tough for the Aussies i feel.

Excellent bowling from Harris, 7 wickets in this innings.

Not to mention the fantastic 100+ from Bell, who has been magnificent this series.

Pighardia · 12 Aug 2013 at 12:38

They are saying that 300 is a tough chase, and obviously it is...but this is still only a day 4 wicket, most run chases would probably have been on an older pitch.

England obviously the favourites, but the Aussies are far from out of this!

His white lips really annoy me for some reason

On the verdict yesterday they showed that Yorkshire managed to knock about 360/6 in the fourth innings, so it shows it can be done.

duc999 · 12 Aug 2013 at 12:45

Wasnt exactly a test class bowling attack they had to deal with though

Sankari · 12 Aug 2013 at 12:46

LOL, that's a nice 4 from Prior.

Well he needs to get runs from somewhere

Holdings closet hatred of England sickens me.

Sankari · 12 Aug 2013 at 13:00

10 runs with 10 wickets in hand. That's almost unprecedented for this Australian squad!

Soon to be 100 runs for 10 wickets.

No chance without a hell of a lot of rain!
