    Why does Stokes have such a high economy? Surprised with Woakes' economy though.

    One more wicket & the decision to put them in is looking a good one.

    Agreed, it was looking very bleak a couple of hours ago but they have dragged the game back.

    Good comeback so far. We will see tomorrow if the low score is the pitch or bad Australian batting when ourselves have to score on it.

    Last 8 wickets for 43 runs. A collapse of epic proportions.

    Going to be a sunny day tomorrow by all accounts. Really should be looking at 300.

    The next hurdle isn't it, can't help but think we will scrape to 250 and the game will be in the balance with is batting last. Let's hope not.

    Get a high enough score and we may only need one innings.

    Yes. We might blow it of course, but we would have won the last test, if we had more time & the momentum is now with us. Need some calm heads from our openers tomorrow.

    Excellent first innings especially considering that it was looking quite bleak earlier this afternoon when I checked my cricket app.

    Hopefully so. Have been watching the last few hours at home on Now TV, but I'm less than a mile from the ground & can hear the cheers. Great thing about living in Headingley . Had test mach special on earlier on the radio, but needed to get some work done!

    If the sun comes out tomorrow there's no reason why we can't aim for 400. Got to think positive. Get a lead of 200 then finish them off. The momentum then would be with us going into the final 2 tests.

    A bloke can dream.
