The Ashes 5th Test. The Oval. August 20-24.

[Aidan11]

Two wickets right on lunch.

mitch can get back to his lunch now

at least that was a good delivery from ali

[Aidan11]

Poor defence from Mitch.

[rich1uk]

looking at this scorecard has a ominously prescient look about Australia's short term future with the bat maybe, smith making the big runs with warner maybe chipping in sometimes and not much else

[Aidan11]

376/7 looking much better.


Earlier Corals were offering 9/1 for an England win. Might be worth a punt now.

[backfootpunch]

If we can get them out for less than 425 we are still in this but one of the top three will have to make a contribution

[Arthur Crabtree]

Might be a bit there for Lyon.

[Aidan11]

Let's hope we can shift this tail quickly.

[Arthur Crabtree]

There's a special kind of misery to be experienced in listening to Geoff Boycott. Imagine being in a dressing room with him.

[Aidan11]

400 up.

[sussexpob]

100 up for Stokes....

[Aidan11]

Moeen's century.

[Aidan11]

We can't bowl the tail out.

[sussexpob]

100 up for Stokes....

100 up for Moeen too....

[yorker_129-7]

There's still the irritatingly plucky 40 from Siddle to come yet as well. 500 on the cards.
