England's Ashes Test Team

I can't start to believe just yet but at least there's a glimmer of something there.

Around 123 runs needed with all the time in the world. The positive is that
1. The bowlers will tire
2. We still have 6 partnerships. Woakes, Leach, Buttner, Archer, Broad can all bat a little
3. The pressure is switching towards the Aussie.

The negative:
Ball seems to be spinning a bit.

Whatever happens, we've put up a fight and saved ourselves from total humiliation.
Well done to Denly, Root, Stokes and Bairstow. C'mon England !

Hope Alistair got to the match and is lapping up the atmosphere. Did you go dressed as a penguin, a vicar or what, Ali?

 

[IndoMike]

Damn it. Bairstow out.

 

[Hants_red]

Why would you allow yourself to be run out? There's plenty of time left, no rush.

 

[The Proper Chap]

Bairstow out with a careless shot and now a needless run out, after all the hard work we have chucked two wickets away.

So much pressure on Stokes now.

 

[IndoMike]

So stupid to get run out when time is not the problem. Absolutely stupid.

 

[IndoMike]

Woakes out.
Looking grim.now.

Stokes could do it if he only had some middle order still with him, but he doesn't.
