We'll do this.

Lyth wicket just a minor setback! If the Aussies get another quick one they might be back in it.

Bell and Ballance have plenty to play for.

One more soon and we might have to start thinking about settling for a draw.

Pull out the chase.

Great over from Mitch1. Maybe peeling the plasters off England's scars.

Listen to Glenn McGrath on the radio, and you'll even believe Australia are on top.

Just woke up, having my first cup of tea. Thought I'd watch Oz bat for a bit, but they must have been bowled out.

So Clarke has essentially taken the draw out of the equation, because even if England roll along at 3.5 an over they will not see all the overs if they are still batting.

Yep draws virtually impossible as at 3.5 an over they would end up with 542 runs.

Do they still have to bowl 20 overs in the final hour on the 5th day, now that seems impossible.

Bleeding impossible for England to get any innings off to a decent start these days, can't keep expecting middle order recoveries. Hope the middle order doesn't bother this time around and we can get this painful test match done and dusted today please.

Bleeding impossible for me to listen to any more of Shine Worn - oooohhh. W@nker.

I am going to bed, to stick an earpiece in one ear for an improved commentary from the BBC/ABC team. Treat me well, during my waking spells,please Mr Boycott.

I've got Ponting, Atherton, and Lloyd. Quite like them, but Botham and Gower can be a tad boring.
