      Not really. They are having a go but I expect an early wicket tomorrow morning when the bowlers are fresh and still going with a decent ball. All over by lunch.............maybe!

          Indeed, England need to break up that partnership sharpish or there could be at least a draw on the cards. If the Aussies carry on like this they could pull a win out of what looked to be a total disaster, that would count as one of the all time great comebacks.

            Very finely balanced today.

              It would be the greatest come back. They need to achieve the highest ever score in a second innings to win. They would need to do that with only 1 (or is it 2) recognised batsmen.
              I dont think this will be a draw. I dont think Australia will be able to bat all day without scoring enough to win.

                It would be the best ever. The highest 4th innings total to win a test match is 418, West Indies v Australia at St John's in 2003. This would be MUCH better than that.

                As I said earlier, they should keep the Ashes if they can do that...

                  Quite possibly, but relax, it ain't going to happen.

                    Glad someone is confident.
                    I have witnessed some spectacular England collapses over the years. This lot do not inspire me to think they can do otherwise. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is Englands usual MO.

                    If they do lose this they should concede the series and retire.

                      I really really hope you are right.
