Even if he can bowl tomorrow he has to wait a while since he has been off the field right?

England well behind in the game then. Aus probably only need 200 to defend to win here unless Jos Buttler and someone pull off a miracle.

290 is a long way away! But yes if we get there it will be defendable

wicket maiden from stokes

England should try for the throat here, they probably have another 3 good overs from stokes, 3 from broad and 3 from woakes. So they can in principle put pressure on for 9 overs. It would risk tiring out bowlers early though

You just need 1 partnership of 100 for either this wicket or the next, and the rest chipping in.

England are a bowler down. They will leak runs later.

They will have a good hour tomorrow morning and a good half hour after lunch. If we are still batting then we are ahead of the game. Its doable...

Stokes is fitter than that. But - he is a sloppy bowler. I don't rate him highly. He is just good for a booming inswinger that catches people by surprise. He serves a lot of pies.

scores level

another expensive ali over. He's a bit wayward. Makes a big difference if he's off

again spewing Bancroft couldn't last 1 more over. There was loose stuff to come!

how many overs in his legs before the pie to boomer ratio typically gets favourable to the batter?

I reckon its high whether he is fit or tired. His pace will just drop.

He is a sloppy bowler. His average in England is terrible. Like nearly 34 at 3.4 runs an over.

lovely whip for 2

woakes and broad have had a huge rest. Surely they get brought on soon. If we get another spell in their legs and survive it could help a lot

We lead by 11

But in answer to your question, in WI iirc he bowled huge overs with Anderson in one of the tests. Bowled himself into a bruised foot - he bowled that many overs.
