    Agree with this - with England I still believe that we have the capacity to throw it away if we are chasing anything over 100. Could see us being 5 down in no time and relying on the tail to get us home!!!

    2 quick overs before lunch - survive at all costs!

    Can see this being tight! Looks an easy chase uin three days!! But we are England after all and never do things the easy way.

    I reckon we'll win by 5 wickets with Root at the crease at the end...

    Lyth has gone - just what does he add to the team?

    He adds around 6 or 7 runs every innings I think?

    Sily review! Pitched on, hit in line and hitting middle and leg half way up?? What a waste - sadly I think that's the end of Adam Lyth's short test career!) (it should be anyhow!)

    He maybe needs a less high profile series to get in the groove - whether the selectors give him the chance is another matter

    Been a tough nite at the office. My footy team lost lol and it looks like another asswhooping in the test match. Momentum surely in Englands hands now

    Isn;t that what everyone said after the first test?!

    Like said before - last 7 tests have been lwlwlwl (probably win this one!)

    On the plus side we'll win the ashes if it keeps going
