    Stokes now loses off stump to Lyon. Proverbial Fat Lady is warming up...

    That's a beauty from Lyon. England lucky not to have any more left handers to come in?

    A beauty from Lyon. England on the edge of defeat.

    @Cyclops said in Ashes 2025/6:

    Is England's next test series us in May or do they have something in between?

    England's next Test series after this is against the BCs in June 2026. Tests at Lords, the Oval and Trent Bridge.

    These Fox Playbooks would have been interesting back in the 1990's when we toured:

    • Tends to lose off stump or leg stump early, but usually keeps middle stump intact

    Crawley's resistance now ended by Lyon - and very sharp work by Carey.

    Lyon after two wickets in his first over of the game, then a long drought, is back on the boil.

    That's the big one. Crawley denied a hundred. Lyon on the charge. Vultures are circling above the England dressing room.

    Cameron Green trying to bounce people out looks like a recipe for leaking six an over.

    /GOM it's annoying that the graphic at the bottom always displays "Australia need 4 more wickets to retain the Ashes" instead of how many runs England need to win. No shit, England are 6 down, I can do the math. Please just show a running total of how many runs are needed you clowns.

    Anyway, 167 to win with 4 wickets in hand, 2nd new ball just taken. Aus will be exceptionally keen to wrap this up with the new ball, or will start to get a bit nervous.

    Looks like they have lost Lyon
    Can’t see England getting that close but would love it they at least put the pressure back onto the Aussies for once

    Smith throws it all away in typical Bazball style after playing a blinder. Damn. Game, set and match.

    Starc was turning into cannon fodder, but Smith has gone for one big hit too many

    I can hear some furious tapping, it's Geoffrey Boycott all the way in Yorkshire writing his latest article......

    Fox and Australia both arguably going through the motions this morning.

    If Brook wasn't such a village idiot, England might have won this by about five wickets.

    Lyon confirmed out of the rest of the game too.

    England win that session, but still unlikely to win the game. Though with Lyon out that opens the door just a bit. The manner of dismissal for Smith was so frustrating...

    Boland and Cummins will have to do the work for Australia.

    Starc has briefly reverted to being the bowler that Warnie used to give flak to.

    Cameron Green is the most expensive specialist fielder in IPL history.

    This is why England were so frustratingly awful in Perth - as unusually there are some real journeymen in this Oz side.
