Re: Official Ashes Thread
Definitely dont want to be chasing over 250. Game is the balance.

Re: Official Ashes Thread
They’ve finally got on the pitch at Headingley and Australia are effectively200-8 in bowler friendly conditions - Travis Head is still in though.

Re: Official Ashes Thread
another good test match, hopefully it's very boring for the next 8 overs though

Re: Official Ashes Thread
Bit of luck , but deserved in the final five overs
-
Re: Official Ashes Thread
Nicely set up for tomorrow , weather permitting.
Gut feeling 8s that Australia have enough about them to squeeze England out of the game.
However, only needs one substantial knock to tip the balance.

Re: Official Ashes Thread

Re: Official Ashes Thread
England rode their luck to not lose a wicket in their five overs, but, famous last words, I fancy them to win this one.

Re: Official Ashes Thread
Could definitely still go either way at lunch - England 153-4 with Brook and Stokes at the wicket.

I'd be tempted to move Wood and Broad up the order and tell them to tee off. Hopefully neither are required!

It's fascinating stuff and beautifully poised.

Worth a try - an innings like Wood’s in the first innings could be a momentum changer.

Re: Official Ashes Thread
This series had had everything whichever way this match ends. There are so many people who don't like cricket particularly the long format. I feel sorry for each and everyone of them! To me no other sport comes close to it. I'm worn out today just watching it. I feel like I've played every ball personally since the second innings started.
