Zac Crawley on 15:22 - Jul 20 with 2080 views | Steve_M | 200 up inside 36 overs. England really trying to get ahead of the game before we lose time to rain over the weekend. |  |

Zac Crawley on 15:41 - Jul 20 with 2042 views | Herbivore | This session has been brutal from England. Really taken the game to them. We've got another 39 overs with a ball that's doing not much other than finding the middle of the bat. |  |

I’m there, great day, hopefully push on. Stokes early declaration before close or try and bat just once, I wonder. |  |

Should have a big lead by the close, especially if Stokes/Bairstow etc come in with us already ahead |  | |  |

If we keep batting like this, just keep going and bat once! |  | |  |

YES wack ourselves out T20 style when we want to move the game on |  | |  |

Hit 400 before the end of the day is my somewhat arbitrary target |  | |  |

Get the scores level with 7 or 8 wickets in hand, then go berserk. Treat it as the second half of a T20, see how quickly they can put 150 on. |  |

At the start of England's session, I would have said you're mad.....now however, you probably won't be far off! |  |

Are we aiming for 26 more overs today (England currently on 54)? We will be chasing 500 at this rate if the BBC Sport feed is right about this ballpark, remarkable stuff. |  | |  |
Zac Crawley on 17:07 - Jul 20 with 1791 views | gainsboroughblue | Only just got home. What on earth is that score I see before my eyes?? Hope there's no thoughts of a funky declaration. Get a lead of at least 200. |  |

Zac Crawley on 17:07 - Jul 20 with 1789 views | Bluespeed225 | He could/should have been out about 4 times on his way to the hundred! Love it! |  | |  |
Zac Crawley on 17:12 - Jul 20 with 1764 views | Herbivore | Really hope the weather doesn't scupper us in this test. This is every inch a winning position in normal circumstances but with 2 days of rain looking likely it's going to be a big ask to build a decent lead quickly and then run through them. |  |

Zac Crawley on 19:18 - Jul 20 with 1666 views | BlueForYou | Been very exciting today. I had a day at Edgbaston, four days at Lords, & day one at Headingley. Have day three at the Oval. Not much between the two sides, Australia looked very tired in the field but that could easily have been us. It's very tight. Hope for 2-2 going into the Oval. It's cost me quite a few quid this year, but I love my Cricket & I ain't getting any younger! Bloody weather isn't looking our friend. |  | |  |

Didn't have Brook channeling his inner Boycott at the end there, hopefully we find momentum again tomorrow and Australia will then face horrible stop-start conditions trying to post a total. |  | |  |

It didn’t quite work that way but it was an excellent effort. A good day. |  | |  |
Zac Crawley on 21:07 - Jul 20 with 1541 views | Charlie_pl_baxter | So pleased to see Zak get a big score. Have to admit I'd questioned his place in the side before the series but he's a lovely lad so always felt guilty about it! |  |

Zac Crawley on 21:25 - Jul 20 with 1517 views | BlueandTruesince82 | I've knocked Crawley plenty of times but there is ar argument to say he's been England's player of the series so far....need the weather to hold |  |

I was lucky enough to be there yesterday. What a day of test cricket! Glorious sun shine, glorious shot making, and a load of befuddled looking aussies... it doesn't get much better. |  |
