The England Cricket Thread

The plucky Australian underdogs limp to 5 for 254! Amazing scenes after their earlier collapse!

*edit*

Green is out, 6 for 254! A shocking upset for Australia!

With the weather for Saturday and Sunday looking terrible, it's difficult to see how England can win from here. They're going to need to score 500 tomorrow and then bowl Australia out for either sub 200 or sub 2 and a half sessions.
 
Strange move imo putting them into bat on a wicket where they make 300+. Stokes says its the best way to 20 wickets given the forecast and while its obviously hard to argue with that I also feel it puts in England in a position where it is going to be very difficult to lose the game. Rather than batting first, risk being skittled before tea and finding themselves in a position where a draw may be difficult.
 
That no ball was a doozy! I can't help thinking we'd be at ~470 by now if we hadn't lost that review yesterday.
 
This last-wicket stand is very annoying. It could be huge. Jimmy is pretty accurate but is just so innocuous.

Really looking forward to seeing the Ozzie pacers vs. our top batsmen.
