So wonderful to see a packed fourth day crowd watching the greatest game, in its greatest form, on this planet.

 

[Bozza]

It's too hot to go out anyway.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Great morning's play.

F me who said that test cricket is in decline. This is riveting viewing.

Where has this batting come from?

C’mon England.

Incredible stuff. Mrs Zef is F-in and blinding at the poor Aussie bowling , she's aggressively pruning things in the garden now

I'm loving it.

Domestics from Ms SN as she doesn't believe I can watch cricket and comment on here at the same time and has tried to claim TV rights... not a chance! But off out in half hour... gutted.

This is tense!

Great stuff so far. Amazing what can happen when you bat properly and don't give your wicket away.

 

[The Wizard]

Got one pissed off misses this afternoon, said we’d go out for lunch.... not happening.

You need to tell Mrs Jakarta that, apparently a lot of gardening to do this afternoon.

Could well be lots of drinks breaks however.

As I said at the top of the thread, Headingley often flattens out and with sunny weather and cracks up later. Against pacemen the going is easier once the new ball has been seen off but the ball is turning a lot here.

It would be a surprise to see the pace attack as erratic as they were so it could go back to attrition. Stokes can cope with that but Bairstow can get caught in two minds.

I don't know which way this is going but an England victory will be as good for the longer format as the Windies was in 2017.
