      Could be an interesting finish. Very tight.

          Yes, if England don't manage to win on Saturday, the rain on Sunday will rescue the Aussies.

            Australia's batting is significantly stronger than England's I believe so they could finish the day on a significant score for few wickets on that pitch.

            I still don't believe Cook has a clue what he is doing.
            Maybe not but he is doing it very well. He's been clever in the field so far.

              I don't believe for a second Boycott's prediction that Australia have no chance.

              Australia are very capable of making that on this wicket.

                Nothing is impossible, but an Australia win is very unlikely.

                England have been bowling well, and the pitch is slow, drying out, there's a bit of variable bounce, and it's turning. Oz only managed 308 when the pitch was better.

                Plus, England have decent swing bowlers, and swing is not affected by the pitch.

                Also, Australia have never scored that many runs in the 4th innings of any test match in their history - win, lose or draw.

                    ...back in the hutch.

                    Oz were on a hiding to nothing with that target, but England still played well to finish them off.

                      Some good play to wrap that up. Convincing win for England and on Welsh soil, there will be more than a few Cardiff residents crying in their Brains over that.
