You have to give the Aussie late order batsmen some credit in both innings

not too sure why the Aussies are trying for quick singles , they have 5 hours to get 28 runs.


England still favourites

If this wicket doesn't come in the next 3 overs after lunch we're screwed.

A damn good effort from the Aussies IMO .England win on a 3rd umpire decision.


Hopefully it will mean a close series and not a 5-0 whitewash

If nothing else this shows that Test Match cricket is not finished. I think we are going to have an exciting series this summer

What a test! If that's the standard for the series then it's going to be 2005 revisited.

Good god, they know how to put us through the wringer, don't they....

I went out for a walk towards the end of the lunch interval, couldnt bear to watch any more. Came back expecting us to be going to Lords one down. I thought we were toast.

Phew!

It's the third consecutive England win over the Aussies in Tests. They beat the Aussies at Melbourne and Sydney in the last two Tests of the last Ashes series.

Do you know when we last had 3 consecutive wins over the Aussies? It was Edgbaston and Oval 1985, Brisbane 1986-87

Had us worried with 30 runs left. Lads did well and I'm glad England kept the run of ashes good form going today.

It is an GLORIOUS Monday morning at work here in Sydney


Lots of glum looking faces around. I much perfer beating Australia like that in a close game than hammering them by an innings as it is much more satisfying when the Aussies feel like they had hope / could have won. It's like a big old kick in the guts, it sometimes hurts more when you get so close 


Hopefully we  can work out what weakness Agar has with the bat now also and slow his career right down from here, he needs a good working over in the next test.


Can't wait for the next test!

This is true, until fairly recently Australia had a fantastic record at Lords. It will be another dry and dusty wicket but perhaps offering a little more in the way of spin than Trent Bridge. I would be surpised if the wicket held up as much.

All those saying 2005 again are on the money! Except this time its us who are the favourites... I'm yet to be convinced that the Aussies will get much better than that and if Agar had been given out when he should have been the Aussies would have been chasing 400+ and wouldn't have got close.


Questions over Finn, so I wouldn't be suprised to see him as the only change (with Bresnan the favourite to come in).


Test cricket has never died, I watched a T20 at Hampshire on friday and a great night out though it was it was still a Big Mac (or choose your preferred supplier of fast food...) to a five course banquet in terms of drama, tension and all the rest.
