Safe to say a draw is out of the equation for this match. It was out when England were bowled out on day 1 i suppose

Draw went out the window the minute the vegan destroyah decided to go on a rampage :petahshiddle
 
Teams have a tendency of making England tail enders look like batsmen, whats the hold up Australia.

I dont want a chase above 250. 230 would make this game interesting for us neutrals, it should be on the air
 
Did you know Clarke is averaging 40 in tests this year? I thought it would be higher.
 
Haha Broad trolling Aussies with his batting. The important thing for England is the partnership has forged with Belly
 
England on top here. I don't see Oz surviving someone like Swann on this pitch.
 
Both Bell and Broad were instrumental in helping England win against the Indians at Nottingham in 2011, a game where India held the upper hand for quite a while.
 
Finally pattinson into the attack. About time.

thats because he has been playing away from home, and 40 is his away average anyway not sure why you would be suprised.
Wait till he plays in Australia though..
 
england are a tough side to put away. a lot of mental toughness. pakistan would have set 160 in this situation lol. and they'd have scraped their way there too with gul hitting a few sizes over long-on.
 
Congratulations English fans & supporters . 217 for 6 & looks like another 50 runs are safely in kitty .
 
Well that didn't work out too well. Pattinson all over the shop.
 
Poms a better Team than Aussies right now, but Aussies have fought hard. Good for cricket .
 
17 overs still left in the day .... Lords is going to be a 1 flat pitch .
 
I hear the typical self congratulations have begun for the English before the game is even won.

They never learn do they? SMH
 
Bell is an under rated player , he plays some crucial innings but is not flashy to get attention.
 
Match is slipping away. Anything over 250 will be pretty much impossible to chase I reckon. They only have themselves to blame after a terrible batting effort in the first innings. If a hack like Hughes and a cowlasher like Agar can get runs there's no reason the rest of them couldn't!

match is finished England will set some sort of world/ground record to chase in 4th innings.
