The way they are scoring let Stokes have a chance to get to his 100 then put them back in. Gives us about 50 overs to skittle then a second time. Long shot but it’s possible.
Made slightly shorter by only having to bowl 9 of them out though, you never know.

Warner gone, brilliant bowling from Jofra. What a debut this has been.

If this was us batting having just to survive I’d expect us to collapse all out but with the Aussies you just know we’ll get 5 or 6 out but run out of overs.

The scary thing with Archer is he gets this speed without even looking like he’s trying. This is some special talent.

Is Steve Smith playing in disguise as his replacement?

Good performance but our batting still has problems.
I would go with Bairstow instead of Roy opening, Stokes at 3, Root back to 4, Roy at 5, Vince or an other at 6, Butler as keeper at 7.
Stokes is technically one of our best batsmen and bowls less these days.

Only thing I can think is the railings above the gangway , be fine I'd say.

They've gone now anyway, few went back on the website earlier.

Just going to head up on Thursday and see what we can get, if not we won't struggle for a pint and a TV screen that's for sure.

You'll get one outside for 50. I've got a spare for saturday if that's any good to you.

Want a couple together but cheers though. Will try our chances outside, we're willing to pay a fair bit so shouldn't struggle.

They were going at edgbaston for about £60/70 which was £20/30 below face. Dont buy early leave it until 11am I'm certain you'll get one for a nifty.

No Smith for the Aussies which is good news given their poor batting generally albeit the sub guy did well.

Much prefer to beat them with him playing though. Hes basically the difference in the two teams and also the spinner, but if we can get on top now before the spinner comes into play we should have a good chance of a win. We need to win because you may as well forget the 4th test in Manchester as its almost certain to be ruined by rain no doubt.

I get why were bowling but I also hate it batting last as I never fancy us to chase anything above 170-180 on a fifth day wicket, hopefully we’ll be chasing a lot less.

Bit of a horror show from England this. In helpful conditions having put them in this has been a complete waste.

Great review for that LBW I thought there was no way it was out, thought umpires call at best.

All's well that ends well. Agreed with the decision to bowl but looked like we were completely wasting some great bowling conditions. Fantastic performance from Jofra Archer, already making himself into a legend and its only his second test.

The batsmen really need to dig in tomorrow and grind them down. Should be nice conditions for it also.
