Well left Tim Payne

Good partnership ended by a good ball.

Just need to avoid a collapse in what's left of the light and it's been a very decent day for England.

Spot of trouble now...

Ball.moving around at the same time nathan lyon's suncream disappears. Surely a coincedence

That was coming for Roy.

Just doesn't have the technique for test cricket.

Drawn day but a long time it was Englands, and England need to win days after losing the first 2.

As a result we are in just a perilous position as before. First thing we must do is avoid the follow on. With time to make up theres probably 200 overs left in the game with the weather annoyingly looking set fair now.

We must bat time and the runs will come, a lot will rest on the 2 at the middle and Buttler this innings. Got to bat till tea tomorrow at least and make them bat again. Get 150 behind and see where Australia want to play it from there.

New ball due so be surprised if we make 250

Driving at a ball that shouldn't be driven - standard Bairstow dismissal

F**k nuggets

Oh dear. Desperately need these 41 runs somehow. Dont think that will help us either in truth, as we'll be back out batting again regardless after tea.

Poor from Archer and now Jos will have to try and smash a few.

20 runs to avoid the follow on.  Although I don't think it changes much.  Australia probably only need to come out and try and whack a quick 100 or so.  England start second innings mid-afternoon.

Best thing in Englands favour that session was an over rate of 11.5

From the look of things Australia will be batting again regardless. All we can do is bat some overs and chip away at the deficit.

Australia will want a 350 plus lead if they bat again.

Lovely shot to avoid the follow on.

Deja Vu all over again for the Aussies? 

Big innings this from Buttler.

Not only in terms of the Ashes but his test career as well.

Leach getting his glasses cleaned makes me laugh so much more than it should 

By the way hes a better batsman than Archer and Broad and should be #9.

All out

Was a no ball I think but there we go. Nothing behind the line there.

Cummins has been pushing it all innings.

At least half the replays from boundaries etc have looked like no balls.

Just retire Warner fella!

Warner gone again. Broads bunny.

Bowl them for 80, chase 270?   

Just retire Warner fella!

His test average must have taken a severe nose dive from this series

If something good comes out this series it's that c**t warner getting knocked over cheaply.

Will be interesting to see how far Australia want to get ahead here. 3 an over good for Englands prospects of a draw.

I dont buy into England having a chance to win this. Happy for us to be bowling for as long as possible.
