Meanwhile Aus r thrashing Eng at Headingley
Better start doing the old rain dance..
187/8. Might as well give up hope now. Unless Jack Leach gets another century but Eng have only got till 7pm...
We're doomed no rain. perhaps a few pairs of new gloves for Overton and a lot if spec cleaning ...... take your time
So Aus retain the Ashes. Maybe Eng can rescue their pride a little by winning the last test? But only if there are a few team changes...
Indeed maybe put Leach top of the order Roy is a one day specialist and hasn't adjusted to the red ball game, much like the majority. I think we have concentrated too much on white ball and not the red ball cricket. However take Smith out of the equation they are on par with England.
We haven't lost what we never had
Woakes n Sam Curran in squad instead of Roy n Overton. Fingers crossed!
86/1 at lunch. Denly out
Are you old enough to remember this commentators gaff ?

169/3 at tea
Back to work but following Cricinfo on my pc. Hoping the Aussies are hung over and can't be arsed. Buttler' s playing well ...... finally. Weather looking good.
So good to talk of something other than cancer for a change!
Hope Eng continue getting runs , tho Buttler will run out of partners soon....
