Come on, mate. 10 wickets in hand and (currently) 117 to get? I expect us to win by a good 8 wickets.

EDIT: 120 to go at. Come on! :D

Nice day and a day three pitch to get 121.

Lyth. Step-up time.

Aye good chance for Lyth to keep his place here if he bats well. No rush here. No need to chase wide stuff.

What was his dismissal like, Tango? Decent ball or did he play all around it (or both)?

Just out of interest, does anyone know the lowest score set a side who then lost a test match?

I'm only going off the commentry that said the ball piched to leg and broke to off taking the stump with it. Good bowling apparently.

Well, at least he wasn't wafting at one outside off. Progress?

Lyth 12 and if we lose this some arses want a serious kicking. Bat waving at non-dangerous balls is primary school stuff. This is the Ashes.

Absolutely agreed. If you can't make runs when you're under little if any pressure then when are you going to make them?

Chuffed for Bell getting his 50 up on his home ground. Would love to see him hit the winning runs.

Unless I got it wrong, isn't the out of form Bell our highest scoring batsman this test?

Thinking exactly the same thing. Hope young Joseph is kind enough to rotate the strike if possible, just to rub it in a bit :D!
