Nicholls with a nice not out to give him an average of 38

[sterling]

Not out on 145!!!!

[Sneakdefreak]

Thought they would wait for Nicholls to push past 150, guess they want England to bat a bit before dinner?

Batted for an hour too long imo. 320 was enough of a lead.

I tend to agree. I doubt England will come out and play aggressively. I think this one is probably 70% to us, 30% draw. We have a day two pitch and a smarting batting line up. It could be difficult to get on top.

Cook gone!

9 terrific bits of cricket left to win

Good start!! Unlucky as, but we'll take em!

[Gunner]

Great knock by Nicholls, he’s coming on nicely. Agree with others, he shouldn’t be at 6 in ODIs.

Come on lads, finish this off.

[MN5]

Thrilled for Nicholls. Much maligned but doing good!

Looks secure in that 5 spot now.

38 for1

Great to bag Cook before the break.

The pitch is a bit up and down so we just need to stay patient and hit our lengths. All the pressure is on England.

[Paekakboyz]

Showing some patience will be the trickiest part. Another 1-2 wickets tonight would be primo (more would be amazing) but we just need to bowl tight and stick to our plans

[Godder]

Apparently that was Nicholls' highest first class score, so maybe that was the milestone they were waiting for.

This is going to be a tough ask for the English unless rain saves them.

[MN5]

I will be mighty pissed off if the rain saves the Poms after that first innings hiding.

[Brandi]

@mn5 hopefully we can get some wickets soon before Root and Stoneman get together and build a big partnership...won't be too happy if England manage to draw the match..remember that match last year against south africa and we had it in the bag on the last day but it rained the whole last day

[Paekakboyz]

I'd love to get a root, I mean get root out tonight!

[No Quarter]

Wagner!!
