Lunch 153-4. 98 required.

First half hour after lunch crucial really. If we can navigate that without losing any more wickets, or just one at worst, we should be just about ok to make this. But if the Aussies get a quick couple, then it could rapidly slide out of reach…

If the situation was exactly the same (including the quality of all the players) but the Australian team were South Africa or India, I'd be almost completely confident about this.

This thread is even more negative than some matchday threads! BetFair has us at 1-5 on, and for good reason. I’m not saying it’s a formality - it isn’t - but all it requires is for a couple of the 7 remaining not-out batsmen to get 30 or 40 runs, and I’d say that at least 5 of them are capable of that to some degree or another.

Need Stokes to get us to within 30 odd

Could be mid-afternoon defining.

Twats on TMS now saying we should be looking at 80 overs a day as the poor dears cant make 90....

Only 2 of our first 5 batsmen have managed over 30. After the 2 we have in, there's only 1 left.

Nipped to the shops during lunch and picked someone Gala Pie, a bit of cheddar and some pickles

[pasty]

[The Wizard]

Another one strangled down the leg side, ffs

 

[pasty]

Oh f***. Now we’re in trouble

 

[Pevenseagull]

[The Wizard]

Was never going to be easy was it, probably be Robbo on one leg trying to hit the winning runs

 

[WhingForPresident]

We are finished.

 

[albionalex]

Squeaky bum time.
