The Ashes: Australia in England 16th Jun - 31 July

[Arthur Crabtree]

Tense!

You not driving down Arthur?

Can't drive!

Half thinking of seeing a day of the woman's Test.

Anderson making Green uncomfortable. Got an edge through 2nd slip, and beat the bat. Green hasn't been impressive this test at all, looks very lose, and dare I say a bit nervous

125 runs required.

[sussexpob]

England need a wicket before tea.... target down to 100

[Arthur Crabtree]

No can do.

What England haven't done so far is pick up back to back wickets in the middle order. So it's been a bit of a slog once the top order has gone. Though they've created the chances to do this, but fluffed them.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Wicket!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Need another, back to back.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looking more like there will be a new ball.

Thunderstorm expected at about 7pm.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Are the Aussies happy to draw this?

[sussexpob]

I reckon they will see a few balls, see if they can develop this partnership, and if not I'd expect them to dig in... Big wicket the last one

[Arthur Crabtree]

Woah. Stokes gets Usman. Tail in under pressure.

England favourites now, I think.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Just. And a new ball in three overs.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Root drops Carey off his own bowling.

[GarlicJam]

Root drops Carey off his own bowling.

Tough chance though

[Arthur Crabtree]

New ball. No continue with the old one.

Even-stevens?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Rooooot!

Pouches this one.
