Sod it, I'll come back tomorrow morning.

Could be over by then ahaha

matthewhotdude · 12 Aug 2013 at 14:58

I have a bad feeling we could lose this

Cosimo · 12 Aug 2013 at 15:05

Here we go, Rogers not out, 30-0.

A monkey flipping a coin could get more decisions correct than these umpires.

Pighardia · 12 Aug 2013 at 15:07

At least Rogers out of the Aussies has got the hang of this review lark!

They are coasting atm.

Cosimo · 12 Aug 2013 at 15:28

Need to get a wicket. 60-0

matthewhotdude · 12 Aug 2013 at 15:29

Does a rain dance

One More Solo · 12 Aug 2013 at 15:35

Making a right hash of this! Still feel if you get one wicket more will follow.

England have pretty much chucked this match away now.

Cosimo · 12 Aug 2013 at 15:55

No sign of a breakthrough, 80-0.

Wouldnt say that just yet, still have tomorrow to play. Game is pretty evenly poised, just hope the rain stays away so we can get a result either way.

So far good batting by Aussies, giving the English bowlers a torrid time out there.

mmj_uk · 12 Aug 2013 at 16:00

Good batting so far this match is shaping up nicely.

Yas786 · 12 Aug 2013 at 16:02

Rogers and Warner giving the Aussies a good solid partnership at the start.

88-0, Rogers on 41 not out and Warner 39 not out.

matthewhotdude · 12 Aug 2013 at 16:18

At least the runs seem to be drying up

One More Solo · 12 Aug 2013 at 16:21

TBH, aside from a few dodgy moments here and there this pitch hasn't looked that bad. When batsmen have got in they've been able to score, but England in particular just gave their wickets away. Conditions look better for bowling in the mornings but if Aus go in only 2 or 3 down with only 100 to chase then England would need an incredible session first thing tomorrow to win this now.

Yas786 · 12 Aug 2013 at 16:22

101-0...excellent partnership for the Aussies..highest opening partnership of the Ashes for them.
