    Stokes knew he wasn't out but reviewed anyway wtf was he doing. What a waste.

    Australia batting much better in the dreary bowling conditions.

    Jimmy picked on reputation not current form. He’d have had 3 wickets by now in these conditions at his best

    I could have understood picking him despite his age if we were preparing green tops that would allow him to more effective.

    I think it was more of a question of retaining a winning side ( well, they would have won ! )

    How does Anderson keep getting picked , he’s been very innocuous this series

    “Farewell Jimmy” tour. He deserves a send off for his past record

    Isn't Jimmy the most economical bowler in the entire series? He's not as deadly as he used to be but it's notable that the Aussies have been taking absolutely zero risks when batting against him.

    Aussies dropped anchor batting for a draw. Good bowling conditions too.

    At the current rate they will pass our 1st innings total, a week on Monday.

    Not enthralling at the moment, that's for sure. Think byes have got the most runs today!

    Think they’ll accelerate as day goes on. We needed 350 batting first, can see us struggling not to lose this one. Hope I’m wrong and there’s a sudden flurry of wickets.

    Great catching Joe.
    I've been watching test match cricket for 50 odd years. This is the poorest game play I can remember. Geoff Boycott and Chris Tavare would be fed up watching this.
    No wonder the aussie press and former players are ripping in to Cummings.

    They appear restricted by fear of losing their wickets. Opposite of English approach.

    I quite like Cummings as a captain Does things his own way despite a lot of criticism from the old guard. They draw this match, they win the Ahes. Happy days for the aussies!

    Won’t be a draw without the weather playing a part. We rarely bat for more than a day with bazball approach.
