just read mccallum is new red ball coach, appointed by 'cricket chief' rob key who appointed captain stokes

now, i get that i must be asleep and never see a paper, but fucking hell, ive missed all this happening

Today could be the last possible day to turn things around. If we get another 100 and Aussies are still batting at the close, it’s finished.

Pathetic.

Yorkshiremen playing really well this match, 🙄

And last. No ticker.

Was debating changing my working from home day to Monday to catch the last day.

Haven't and I don't think it'll matter anyhow.

Pray the weather is bad enough to get no play the rest of the weekend is our only hope now.

Bairstow has been fecking useless this series. Is he not fit?

A draw = Aussies retain Ashes

Near parity

I'm amazed we've got anywhere near this to be honest.

Stokes is simply amazing.

We're still in the game.

We are

But I think 220 batting 4th is max i could hope we would get

Wood needs to rip though these feckers for <150.

Probs

Im trying to be positive

180 is no gimme

I’d have opened with Wood

Then Bairstow needs fucking off for the rest of the series.

They're going to win them anyway, I'd just rather it wasn't 0-5.

Aye. It’s one thing losing there 0-5, but quite something else to be punced here 0-5.

Scary how easily we'd be winning this match if they could catch.

It's probably true of all 3 matches. 

The Bairstow inclusion becomes more and more baffling by the over. 

Ey up

He's caught one!

Very much alive.

Early inroads tomorrow and who knows. 

Weather might stretch the game out, but should still get a result one way or another.

Plenty of time left. Anything could happen in the next 3 days. Difficult to predict in any Test Match. This more so. It’s great.

Indeed.

Test match cricket has never been so good.

Got to feel sorry for those who think it's boring.
