Must have had Betty’s hot pot?

239/2 at tea.
178 runs in the session off 25 overs.
given the forecast, if they get 450 declare and the larwood the shit out of the aussies
The forecast is very poor for the weekend. Even with England well ahead in the test so far, they’ll still have it all to do to force a win if a lot of the weekend is going to be lost to the weather. Tactic obviously to keep scoring quickly and get a good chunk of tomorrow to bowl at them again.

That looked a fairly plum lbw from Cummins to Root, but was off a no ball.

Incredibly disappointing if this ends in a draw due to weather.
We need a fifth test.
