Ashes 2023
-
Crawley chops it onto his stumps. 189 off 182 balls. 336/3.
-
Australia have done better in last 45 minutes. They’ve taken a couple of wickets and slowed England down.
England’s day for sure but not looking at totally dominant as they did earlier this afternoon.
Half an hour left.
-
England 384/4 at the close. Rain about for all of the last three days but England well ahead in this game.

England's to lose
Unless the weather fucks it all up

Old Trafford Lancashire C.C.C. (Greater Manchester) weather
Old Trafford Lancashire C.C.C. 7 day weather forecast including weather warnings, temperature, rain, wind, visibility, humidity and UV
50% chance of rain in the morning session but should be clear after that. Saturday will be almost certainly be rained out entirely. Some showers around on Sunday but nothing heavy.
I think there are probably 5 sessions left in this game.
England will probably bat for most of another session to try and get a 200+ lead.
Then they have to bowl Australia out in three and half session for less than 270 odd, I guess, to be a position to win this.

Good news, initially they were banking on three days solid rain weren’t they ?

Best day eva!!!!!
Probably too little too late though with the weather. I think England will go for 200 more runs in a session tomorrow, likely get skittled for much less and then hopefully have enough sessions to have a real crack at Aussie.
Didn't get to watch much today unfortunately (thrashed the old man at golf though, so can't complain) and tomorrow I'm at the cricket club for a tournament, so fingers crossed they have something sorted.

And no balls

Even more so, that they went in without a spinner.
So, send out the spin bowling coach . .. to to do the EOD presser.

Didn't get to see a ball bolted live as work got in the way - I need a better work/life balance I think. Had a look at the highlights though and it looked as though the Aus fielding (Khawaja's catch aside) was bit ordinary? Root was undone but a nasty one when he looked in good nick which was a shame.
I did like the way the Aussie's congratulated Crawley when he was out. A classy response. Ollie Robinson take note.
-
@Catogrande There definitely was some shoddy fielding - Cummins leading the way who put down Ali before Khawaja's catch.
The field placings were just weird - very reactionary/half pie.
