The Ashes

[BrilloPad]

England have avoided the follow-on.

For us thats like a win!

[BrilloPad]

England: 355-9 (89.0 overs)
Australia: 263 (70.4 overs)

I suppose its going to be a draw.

I suppose its going to be a draw.

Not so fast. If it doesn't rain tomorrow I sense something happening. This lot of Australians remind me of Border's lot in 1985, or even Hughes team in 1981.

England: 376 all out, lead by 113.

Most likely, but England can still win this if they get some quick Aussie wickets, especially right now.

If they take a couple before stumps tonight... they might fancy their chances tomorrow.

2 wickets down, but the Aussie's are scoring well. Certainly a possibility, but they need to keep those wickets coming.

England: 376 (93.3 overs)
Australia: 263 & 86-2 (25.0 overs)

Apparently might still be time for 4 overs.

Shaunbhoy's forecast. A draw, with the rain saving the Aussies.
Still, the pressure is now on them as they are faced with winning a 2-Test series rather than drawing a 5-Test one, which was the task facing them as they stepped off the plane.

Play has started, Aussies on 88-2.

Apparently still 1500 tickets left at Edgebaston if anyone fancies a day out for the last day.
