Phil - cheeky, but can you pin?? I know a fair few of us are interested in chatting about this as well as ITFC.
To kick start - series predictions?
I am going Australia 2-3 England.

It was a good catch by Overton - he's had a decent game.
I thought we'd see Rommy tonight. |
Tiredness got the better of me
But I'm up for the next few hours
We are right in this it seems |  |

England have the slightest of chances, Aussies are still the heavy favourites. |  |

We are one big innings away from winning this I think | |

Given how we have batted so far massive favourites but it is good of them to make a game of it
Batting under the lights will be interesting |  |

I'd still say we're 20/1 underdogs especially how Lyon is bowling. Nice to see us put up a bit of fight though. |  |

That's a lot to ask on a wearing pitch, the quality of the Aussie attack and the light factor. Pleased England are fighting, but I would much prefer to be in Australia's position than ours chasing the runs. Nevertheless, if we do manage to pull this off I will be so thrilled!! | |

We gave up too big a lead in the first innings to have much chance of winning, two quick wickets reduced that even further.
Nice to see some fight and bowling Australia out cheaply is always good but can't see us getting much past 250. |  |

Just as partnership starts to develop Vince goes in his usual fashion  | |

England's flat track bully batters disgrace themselves yet again. |  |

More DRS shenanigans then:
Will give the Aussies something to blub about on the off chance they do lose. | |

In the last decade, England have been set 350+ to win 15 times. Not only have they never won, they've never got within 100 of the target. | |

Crikey. That was some delivery from Cummins. 246 needed. One big partnership would go some way to helping but we haven't really had one of note in the series. |  |

Well. That's their reviews gone anyway. | |

Here's hoping for some comedy decisions going against them now, preferably involving Stuart Broad. [Post edited 5 Dec 2017 9:38]

No! hopefully Broad wont be seen untill they have some reviews back. Seeing him with no reviews means that its before the new ball. |  |

Reviews don't get topped up on 80 overs any longer. | |

Malan looked plum in real time, good decision though.
150-3 at the close would be lovely. [Post edited 5 Dec 2017 9:41]

Really???? so thats it for the innings?
In that case either hope to not see him. OR Broad score the winning runs after being a terrible Not Out decision and him not walking. | |

That changes in this test match
I really think we can do this if batting well on the first session tonight | |

Hazlewood looking tired & straying leg side.
This is what happens when you're patient & make them waste their energy. | |

I know it's not as common as it used to be to enforce the follow on, and I'm sure the Aussie's aren't even thinking of breaking into a sweat just yet, but... do you think they'd have made England bat under lights last night if they'd had more than just 4 bowlers? |  |

Possibly.
Although Australia have only ever played 4 bowlers historically. If we take this chase deep then the tiredness of their bowlers could become a factor. | |

Lyon bowling to Malan is causing me to sh1t myself.
Smith just dropped him at slip of the perfect delivery. | |
