  smith getting slapped is beautiful

["Nookie".]

Do you think that might be Smith's only over?

[Statto Red]

Crowd taking the piss out of Mitchell Starc with the Mitchell Johnson song.

[demain]

The Australians don't really enjoy playing at Edgbaston do they ?

This is so brilliant.

[Statto Red]

England need 108 from 204 balls.

[Kekule]

I’d let him have one more. Not got into his rhythm yet!

[Statto Red]

Indeed, far better playing them there than at Lords.

[BobPaisley3]

Starting to rain.   

[Trump's tiny tiny hands]

England need 108 from 204 balls.

 

["Nookie".]

So would I if I was Morgan

[Red-Soldier]

England need 108 from 204 balls.

Not sure they'll do it.

The Run Rate is just too high.

[Robinred]

Starting to rain.   

Aussies’ only hope.

[Chakan]

If Aus were smart they'd slow down these next 2 overs to a snails pace.

[voodoo ray]

"It's fair to say that gamble from finch hasn't worked"

[CheshireDave]

If Aus were smart they'd slow down these next 2 overs to a snails pace.

What's the point? They just want to go home now. Well. Some of them. Some have to stay for The Ashes.

[BobPaisley3]

Aussies’ only hope.

Two days of the stuff

[Kekule]

81 runs ahead of the Duckworth Lewis target.  It’ll probably piss down and they come off after 19.4 overs.

[Statto Red]

Aussies’ only hope.

With the forecast, it'll mean they'll come back tomorrow as 20 overs haven't been bowled,

England are currently 81 runs ahead of the DLS par score

[BobPaisley3]

Bairstow gone

[Chakan]

What's the point? They just want to go home now. Well. Some of them. Some have to stay for The Ashes.

Because if it starts raining and they haven't bowled 20 overs it doesn't count as a game.

["Nookie".]

Good delivery that from Starc. He's been getting tonked but a bowler as good as he is will always come up with something

[mc_red22]

Why review that? Get some new eyes, jesus

[Chakan]

That's about as plum as you can get

[Statto Red]

Because if it starts raining and they haven't bowled 20 overs it doesn't count as a game.

Yep, & they'll be back tomorrow, & forecast is good for tomorrow, should get full day in, Australia need an asteroid to hit not rain.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Why review that? Get some new eyes, jesus

Think there is always a tendency to review an LBW from around the wicket in case it didn't pitch in line (which is also the most difficult thing to see in real time).

[Qston]

This is all good fun isn`t it.

Jason Roy is a machine

[Scottymuser]

for those interested - the D/L targets after 0/1/2/3/4/5/6 wickets fallen off the first 20 are: 55/62/72/85/102/123/148 - so we could lost the next 4 wickets for 0 runs, in the next 2.2 overs, and still be ahead.  If we don't lose another, we will be at least 66 runs ahead, and that would be without scoring another run.

[BobPaisley3]

Roots not hanging about.

[mc_red22]

"Unless he gets another 4 (wickets) very quickly" - next ball he goes for 4

This commentator is the biggest jinx going.

[JackWard33]

This is tremendous fun

[Yosser0_0]

Wonder if Sky are deliberately keeping the Aussie commentators on?

[demain]

We really have the South Africans to thank for today's entertainment. Simply marvellous.

["Nookie".]

Wonder if Sky are deliberately keeping the Aussie commentators on?

That would almost be worth the monthly fee alone.

[Frank Becton]

Really good this from England the venue is ideal as the crowd really get behind the team.

Roy attacking Smith was just brilliant.

[BobPaisley3]

Shame there’s no 3rd/4th place play off.

[Yosser0_0]

Lovely cut shot from Root.

[BobPaisley3]

Shocker from the umpire.

[Statto Red]

Haven't got SKY, so been following the match here & on BBC website, & been a load of fun, the Aussies used to do this to us which makes it more satisfying.

[Robinred]

Jason Roy should be angry with Bairstow, no one else.

The ump is crap mind

[Crosby Nick]

Shocker from the umpire.

And from Bairstow for wasting the review.

Can we have that rain now just to be safe please.
