Still trailing by 209 and 7 wickets remaining.Looks like Australia will ramp it up tom and go for the kill.
But honestly I still believe that enforcing the follow on may have reduced Australia's advantage. But I suppose the weather was uppermost in Clarke's mind. Crazy series with such one-sided results.

Smith to Cook, k has to wait for his first home Ashes hundred. Loopy legbreak, spins in. Cook prods forward and only
manages an inside edge to short leg.

Ashes should be replaced by best of 7 or 9 T20 series. Give the fans what they want!

2.55pm: According to the radar, it looks like England have had the last of their assistance from the rain for today.
If they want a draw (and, to be honest, they're probably not that fussed)
they'll have to try and take this match into uncharted waters: day five.

Siddle to Broad, OUT, bowled him, off stump out of the ground! Broad had given up trying to block, left a big gap and
all the Australians in attendance - their team are one wicket away :-[
