Bat another 20 overs, go a 4 an over, 240 lead and then 48 overs to bowl at them?

That's my thoughts. Stokes and Buttler get themselves in again after lunch for 15 mins or so then go a bit white ball mode.

Hope they do as will be a great watch this afternoon.

I find Root conservative as a captain though so not convinced he will declare?

1-0 down. No Smith for next test and maybe beyond. This has to be seen as a massive opportunity for England to gain the iniative.

Aim for at least 45 overs at Aus while dangling the carrot.

Root is a bit braver than a lot of captains before him.

Building a really good total now. Stokes closing in on the chance of a century. Plenty of overs left.

Century and declare surely?

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

Seems silly not to have declared when he got 100, or at the end of the over with 251 to chase.

Brilliant stuff from Stokes.

Good chance for a victory given Smith isn't able to bat.

Great knock from Stokes. Big ask to knock them over in the time remaining but it's possible. Need to use the new ball well and rip through their top order.

Superb first half of the day for England, keep that level up we could make this interesting.

Might be tricky to chew through the Aussie lower-middle order. They do have a fair bit of "stickability", even if not run-scoring ability.

His replacement can, though, can't he?

I think the more they are likely to chase the total, the more likely we are to get them out. They won't try chasing this now, will they? A difficult balance though because we didn't want them to successfully chase it down.

It's not enough to be completely beyond reach, might tempt them. Also, teams seeking to hold out can get stuck and lose wickets through pressure and being too defensive.

Either way, Smith not batting is big for us. Really need Archer and Broad/Woakes to produce something special.

If we can get Warner early I think we will......

Actually no, not doing that any more on here.

If Archer is coming in at 90mph then that 'stickability' won't be like it was in the 1st test. Tailenders hate pace

This is going to be a great finish.

I backed the draw when I saw the forecast a few days back but I’ve covered it with a few quid in play at 9.2 England and 65 Australia.

From here.. I expect the draw but I’d love to see us get some early wickets. No Smith makes it a different proposition
