England 122-1. Credit to Mooen for passing 50 at 3. Set it up nicely for Root at 4.

Really dont throw this away. If you get a good ball fair enough.

Well done Crawley.

Re: Official Ashes Thread

With bad weather forecast if England do accelerate and pass Australia I can see another early declaration.

That’s the intention, they could quite conceivably be all out by the close , but with a total score of around 380

Root reverse scooping for 6.

Controlled agression.🤣🤣🤣 Seeing as there may not be much play after tomorrow could they be eyeing a declaration tonight?

I think they will bat through , and get as many as possible in the shortest possible timeframe

They scored 178 runs off 25 overs between lunch and tea, I reckon you’re looking at more than 400 barring a collapse.

How many overs left this evening?

Best site to keep up to speed with play, in my opinion.

Re: Official Ashes Thread

With tomorrow the last likely day of play, surely the Aussies just need to play defensively and drag the day out? Match drawn = job done, then go for the outright win in the final test.
