Two full days to get 370 odd could get a bit squeaky bum by the end.

Yeah, it kind of feels like we could regret the tail not putting up as much of a fight here.

Broad and Anderson to put on some sort of heroic final last man stand for old time's sake?

Yeah, England are (probably) going to win this one. It's the deserved result; for whatever reason our team has just not been able to respond to what you're doing.
BAZBALL VINDICATED
Ugh

15 runs from the first 3 overs, 1 from the next 3.

Love this stat:
It's Stuart Broad's 55th six for England.
Only four players have hit more sixes for England in Tests: Ben Stokes, Kevin Pietersen, Andrew Flintoff and Ian Botham.
That's something for a bowler.

I have no doubt that Australia are finally going to turn up today, solely for the purpose of ruining the occasion.

Surely there must be an archaic rule somewhere that allows us to shoot them

I think the rain is going to save the day again...
Bonkers amounts of rain in East London for last hour or more.

Annoying if true. Obviously I'd rather win than lose, but this game looks like it could go either way. It'd suck if the rain robbed us of an exciting final day. :/

The series started with the promise of becoming one of the all time classics, such a shame half of its been washed out. I wonder if Broad might be tempted to reconsider for a proper send off

If *you* just bowl beamers you mean.
It balances out! You bowl us beamers, and we to to hit everything for 6.

Kinda fitting if the series ends with yet another error contributing to us not winning a test, to be honest...
