Can England avoid the F word ?

Can England AVOID the Follow On ?

241- 6 , session 2 : need 366

125 required with 4 wickets in hand : to avoid the FollowOn 

Captain Cook is on 89*

Travesty that Cook couldn't get a century.but sterling knock, full of grit and character

78.2
Marsh to Cook, OUT, gone! Dragged on! Cook is denied his maiden Ashes hundred in a home Test. This one was going across him,

he was lured into the drive when he has previously been leaving so well. A big wicket at any time, but with the new ball lurking in two overs'

time, it is massive!

Cook  b Marsh 96 (233b 13x4 0x6) SR: 41.20
 

301 -8  outta 366  :-[  : 55 require to avoid F.O

85.4
Hazlewood to Ali, OUT, pinned him, up goes the finger! Moeen reviews but looks to be more in desperation than anything else...

Hazlewood has got him, I'm pretty certain, he straightened a good nut off the seam and Moeen was going nowhere, struck on the knee roll.


MM Ali lbw b Hazlewood 39 (

Going to take a lot of work (and rain) to save the Test from here.

Australia elect to Bat again :

Stupid!!!! : Pup should be fired !

I hope it rains and the match Draw 

England are now under tremendous pressure.Unless they bundle the aussies out for a cheap 150,they don't stand a chance against them,to even draw.
The lead is already 281 and they can afford another 100 runs,they needa bundle them out real fast.


Not possible though.

England have been looking down the barrel for so long, they're now very well acquainted with it.

Even the rain god refused to step in    :-[
