This is actually looking quite comfortable to bat on now.

Yeah this is the ultimate problem. Every minute they last, the pitch flattens more and more.

And for every stroke a tail ender makes it calms Englands batsmen down about the pitch too.

Rubbish. Everything i've seen today makes it look perfectly fine for batting. If Australia hadn't made some really really dumb shots with their middle order they'd still be batting tomorrow.

Yep, with this target it's either going to be an Aussie win by tea or England blocking it out to a draw.

Not sure taking a single off the first ball is the right move with Lyon at the other end.

The Kiwi one is in on it as well, and the Australian team. I think it's sad more than anything.
