Quick 40 from Broad like back in the day?

#alwaysoptimistic

fuck me, 5 wickets for marsh

Never been the same since this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4jca_kv1oec

Shame because he was a really decent lower order batsman.

Revised prediction: England given two days to score 315 to avoid defeat.

Broady got Warner yet?

No, Archer!

I mean, that did not look out

Never out. Warner can well do without the umpires being against him.

England have really worked on their timing for clicking fingers in the slips.

Good to have them 6 down, but the Smith drop was still bad

Blimey, Smith is out.

Woakes should have been in the team every match, he seems to be the only one who has a shot at getting him out.

Gone, with a series lowest score of 80. Ah.

Eng 1.36 Draw 31 Aus 4.33

Makes Paine's decision to bowl seem a quite silly idea.

Pitch will deteriorate tomorrow, so batting second not a wise move by Paine. I’m at the Oval tomorrow, should be very entertaining regardless, forecast is all win..

This is some trash bowling to the tail

Never seen England field so poorly. Dismal.

Bad timing...

20 mins for the Eng openers.
15-3 at close of play?

9-0, let's see if we can push the highest first wicket partnership of the entire series beyond 27.

...

probably not

Apparently smith had the flu

The only time I had the flu I was bedridden

+1 for Ebony R-B. Also Dave Podmore ... seems to have disappeared of late.

What a glorious day for cricket..

Aye, proper flu and you’re in bed. Sniffle at worst.

Yep, three cheers for the Great British Weather.
When the cricket season was re-jigged to allow the ODI World Cup to be given the (true) Summer, I wondered if the closing Oval Test would be an overcast, rain-interrupted and ultimately disrupted match.
Couple of English batsmen to get (streaky) tons?
