looks like its hanging on sundays weather
Tomorrow looks like a washout. Sunday to be showery but should be able to get a decent amount of play in. As @Special_Olympiakos said, good conditions to be bowling in. I felt we needed 4 wickets down at stumps tonight and that has been achieved.
Only the second England player ever to suffer that fate of finding himself stranded on 99 not out in a test match against Australia. Not the first Yorkshire man to suffer that fate though.
My weather models showing we might get some play today from around 3.30pm. What do you think CD?
We’re underway.

Not much happening for England bowlers so far.
Did they declare too late yesterday?
I’d have declared at lunch yesterday.
There’s no movement at all in the ball today as it’s cold. The short stuff is a just pointless at this pair. England need a bit of inspiration. They’re out of ideas at the moment.

Century up for Labuschagne. It’s just Moeen and Root bowling now because of poor light. England could actually do with a bit of rain now to finish play for the day. They’re not picking up any wickets today. Go at it again tomorrow. There should be a decent amount of play tomorrow.
Root with the breakthrough. Labuschagne gone. Huge wicket.

No play after tea. The forecast for tomorrow now is bad, a lot worse than has been predicted all week. Looking increasingly unlikely, England will be able to win this test.
Or aus
Australia hopes of winning ended on Day 1 really. Possibly before play even began. I don’t ever recall Australia selecting so negatively, to play for a draw.
They selected yer man from Irish Paint Magic’s Mr. Cloud, and his brothers. Mr. Cloud and his brothers are black which makes a change as the Aussies are very racist.
