    3 wickets to go and 15 overs remain.

    One Test to go which, surely will include the four unplayed men of Billings, Bess, Lawrence and Overton.

    Well bloody hell, what's this?! They've finally showed a bit of bottle and at least it's not going to be 5-0 now :D:D

    Cry baby Smith trying to win them the match as a part time spinner when he should have used one of his top quality fast bowlers.

    Credit to YJB and Stokes for killing a century of deliveries apiece while injured and for Broad at the end seeing the day out.

    Think the umpires told them they couldn't use fast bowlers at the end because of the light.

    There was an issue with light. You didn’t seriously think that Cummins would pick Smith over any of his fast bowlers do you?!

    Chuffed to bits with the fight shown. Been a horror tour and sounds like carnage this week with basically the players coaching and training themselves due to the COVID outbreak. Finally some positives to hold onto.

    correct but what's the point of the floodlights though?
    last test is a d/n with pink ball but still puzzling why they didn't allow them to use pace just for a few overs

    Well that was a pleasant surprise when I checked to see how many overs we failed by. If I’d thought it would be that close I’d have set my alarm a bit earlier

    That explains it then. I woke up so checked the score expecting a defeat and saw there were about five overs left and two wickets to get so I watched through Bet365 website. It didn't look too dark but TV camera do make things brighter than actually being there.

    Great to see us show a bit of fight at last. Hopefully the same again for the last test.
