We've gone from a position where we looked like the worst we could possibly hope for would be a draw to now looking like defeat is the most likely option.

The lack of mentle strengh from some of our batsmen is criminal and that line up really needs a shake up.

Deary me. I turned on 10 minutes ago hoping to see us making some progress and instead the innings is almost over.

Thanks to the tail (again) we've at least managed to avoid that.

40/3 in 8 overs it's all good

We had a platform set up for at least 450-475 at stumps yesterday. That platform looks to have been demolished and will only last a few more overs.

My bold predicton:

Onions to take a 5-wicket haul.

We'll get 500 here easy

YOU WERE SAYING...NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWERS OF JIMMY



NOW HERE'S HOPING HE CAN GET IT TO MOVE A LA HILFENHAUS

Good to see the tail wagging again to take us towards a respectable total.

Jimmy's batting has improved beyond belief.

It's a good job him and Onions have put those runs on.

Hopefully now the ball will do abit and we can limit them to less then our score. I doubt it but we'll see.

425 all out.


Bit disappointing after yesterdays start, but a couple of Aussies back in the shed by lunch would put England on top.

Australia haven't even started their first innings yet...
