Rain or bad light could prevent a win.

Nothing on radar. Plenty of sun.

I admire Denly's grit. Has had a fair series.. getting better too.

Baggers, what sort of trajectory does an arm ball have for a finger spinner?

Straight on like a wristy's top spinner, or turning from off to leg like a conventional right arm finger spinner?

A few Poms have shown real grit under pressure. 

I’ve been impressed by Denly too.

Straight unless it swings (or seams)... Its literally an arm ball - that is no spin imparted... It won't dip and bounce as much as an overspun offie.

That spat up off the pitch! 

GOAT strikes! 

Denly caught well by Labuschagne at bat pad.

It really reared, hitting the handle of the bat.

England 5-95.

I'm assuming the arm ball is disguised, not like a conventional pace delivery?

We need a wicket to shot the Barmy Army up. 

The Poms were deathly silent when Pommy  wickets were falling and runs dried up.

Better than the last two games DC but still not commensurate (see I too can use fancy words) with his rating as the GOAT. 

Just got hold of this stat. Since his successful first match his series figures read 130 overs, 5 @80. He currently has around 0/130.

Hazlewood has bowled without luck this innings but he sure has built pressure. His current figures are 10-4- 0-12. Is conceding just over 1 run per over.

Straight on I believe DC.  with no spin imparted.

You  beauty!

Bairstow LBW to Starc!

6 -138.

We need these wickets before bad light stops play. The days in England have shortened considerably since the start of the series as we head to the equinox on 22nd of September.

For some unfathomable reason the ECB wont start games early if there is time to make up due to rain delays. So we are left with this bad lite call well before play is due to end. Bunch of stuffed old shirts.

Was beginning to think Starc's comeback had run out of steam. Now wipe out the tail Mitchell.

Buttler is doing a good job. If they are to get a draw he needs to farm the strike as this England tail is long.

He has bowled well. 

I doubt Mike would agree though. Mike seems to have gone very quiet on the forum since H and Labu have starred!

The former I suspect. Still surely the batsman can see if there is no spin on the ball. and play it accordingly. You may have to ask one of your TCA mates or one of the Tigers.

Buttler is batting well under extreme pressure. 

He is standing between Australia retaining  The Ashes.

Then lets hope we wrap up the Ashes here so he can rest for the final game. Because we sure need him if the Ashes are still on the line.
