RIghto, it's past time for bed. The last two nights are catching up on me.

Hopefully I will wake up to see Aus 0/72, or somesuch.

I was hoping we could keep the wickets to one per session, but to be honest I'd have taken 200/3 after two sessions at the start of play.

Cook out in the nineties 7 times, the most for any England batsman.

England have done pretty well for themselves today given where they started. Cook batted solidly and was a little unlucky with his dismissal. The tall English medium pace bowler doesn't look like he'll last long. Wood will swing the wood I guess. Ten overs should be enough to get the job done.

Assuming we're all out for 350 and Clarke doesn't enforce the follow on, then we still have about 120 overs to survive in the second innings :panic

Tennis is going well, at least. Murray and Murray are 2-1 and 5-1 in the 4th

And just clinched it.

If Andy wins tomorrow then I think we have Kazakhstan in the semis, followed by either Argentina or Belgium in the final.

Definitely worth the review.

I somehow doubt the follow on will be enforced....

Aussies were pretty good in those third innings on their own pitches 18 months ago.

No Watson this time.

Wood out. These two could have held things up a bit. Wood v Hazlewood, won by Haze.

Set 500. I can imagine runs being made in the fourth innings.

by **budgetmeansbudget** » Sat Jul 18, 2015 4:28 pm

The modern way is not to enforce the follow on, but I reckon Cook will be tired and they could nick him out early on. Plus its going to rain all day tomorrow instead of just of a couple of hours around breakfast time!

Cook's got his eye in hasn't he?
