I'm really not. It was EXACTLY how I said it would be yesterday. It's not like we suddenly bowled out of our skin or got lucky. it was the tough pitch to bat on described yesterday, and we comfortably won. It as just a matter of time The sort of performance we out in deserved far more than to...

Really happy. I'm control through all 4 days. Never in doubt at all

Australia will certainly chase this. they're out of batsman, but have to remain pessimistic Cracking will. Everyone has contributed, and captained brilliantly. Great team spirit too. Delighted

Still can't believ the doubt and negativity yesterday. There had been nothing to suggest anything but what we're watching would happen. Nothing

Stunning catch. Just so so good. The sort that wins ashes

Wood takes voges. The pessimism starting to drift away? Or do we still expect Australia to easy chase this record chase?

Broad once again making those idiotic calls for him to be dropped that we constantly hear, just that, idiotic. As said yesterday. 400+ was more than ebough on here

Before the invariable egg on face moment of me being horribly wrong, the below for me says a lot Highest chases in Test history If Australia win this game they will go third on this illustrious list... 418-7: West Indies v Australia, Antigua, 2003 (below) 414-4: South Africa v Australia...

I think we batted well but only got 289. Says a lot about the conditions. Very happy with the lead. Have to bowl well. Good leng deliveries, nothing short. Reckon Root will get a few overs too

Ali goes so we'll be bowling very early tomorrow. Happy with that. The ideal is to bat out tonight and go out for 2-3 overs tomorrow

My prediction of 425 lead by end of play is looking close. I love a tailender smashing e ball around. Per than a run 4 there's little I enjoy more. Poor bowling from Johnson though. Awful length for short pitch bowling

Wood brings up the 400 lead with a reverse sweep. I love that so much

Not on a day 4 pitch they didn't. I get your point, it's a changing game. But there's nothing about this Australian side that makes me believe they can chase it on this pitch. I may look foolish this time tomorrow, but expect us to win by tea tomorrow

I love a 'run 4' great stuff. Also highlights a slow outfield. Very slow outfield.

Ah! If you were able to watch (or even listen) at wouldn't be a concern. We're now in record chase territory. On a pitch that is turning for the spinner, has dramatic variable bounce for e seamers and explodes off the surface for the cutter. The Dukes ball has swung throughout, and I also expect...

Excellent post and fully agree. Quick fire 40 from the tail and we're in a great place

Again we really aren't. the pitch is misbehaving like anything. times not a consideration as we'll take wickets at very regular intervals. I'm unsure what anyone's seen in the first 3 days to believe Australia can chase this

Stokes chops on. Buttler and Stokes both with horrific shot selection.

Ali now dropped by both Haddin and then Clarke. I'll keep saying it - tough pitch to bat on. You're never in. Bell and Root showed that.

Buttler walks but I'm not convinced that his the glove. Perhaps strap? I was about to say we should have another 100 runs in us. That makes it tougher. Will still be happy with a 400 lead
