If ever a morning session was crucial, it's this one. 🤔

England just favorites right now, but only just and half and hour without a wicket and that will quickly change.

I can't do patience in situations like this.

Well there's your half an hour....  and they have taken the new ball which I think will play right into the hands of Haddin and Agar, who like the ball coming onto the bat.


 


Very concerned at the moment.. these Aussies are fighters and they have every chance of doing this. I make them slight favourites now.

At last! However, all of the remaining can bat. I still have the convicts in front.

All over as I think it was with the quick wickets yesterday.

8 down! 😁 Anderson the hero yet again.

Come on England, no more nervy moments please, I've had enough of them for one test.

Just relax. The result has never in doubt really.

The only thing I will say these 2 are their very last glimmer of hope, Siddle has got a first class hundred I believe

If the Aussies had got through the first session unscathed it would have got quite tense but with 2 gone already it's 95% certain now.

Anyway, after waking this morning with one of those "I'm not having a drink today" resolutions, I'm now putting a few celebratory ones in the fridge (after having a very civilised pre-midday Carling in the garden earlier)

We should hopefully be OK now but.....

I won't be content until we have that 10th wicket in the bag.

Haddin is still there, Siddle can bat and they need less than 100.

I have not forgotten Edgbaston 2005 when we so nearly lost it from a similar situation to the one we are in now.
Runs coming too easily for my liking...

Fortunately the number 11 is pretty much a rabbit...

Oh no he is not - It's Pattinson and not Siddle as I said in my last.
Some of his recent scores are in the 30s and 40s. This could easily turn into another Edgbaston 2005, make no mistake.

65 needed.......


Oh no.. Anderson off, Finn on. Watch the ball go round the park now....

46 to go. this is too easy, they don't look like getting out. I think we are going to be toast here.


But we only need one ball....

31 needed, was it wise to play to 1:30?
