Now Root of all people puts one down, saw it late but a very catchable height. It's getting painful to watch, poor bowling and poor fielding.

Very frustrating day, Carey finishes on 46 not out having been dropped on 0 and at least once more since. Lots of wasted balls, 5 dropped catches at least and some very expensive bowling.

Having the presence of mind to somehow keep the ball off the ground when landing too.

They're in AUS - don't local rules apply??

This is how to build an innings: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/videos/c36zx57gj5po

But he's rubbish and irritating.

Wait, what?
Is Carlton Kirby doing cricket commentary now?

"The Australians are tapping out a rhythm now!" ... oh hang on, that would be Hugh Porter.

At least his list of potential winners would be much shorter than usual (but would probably include India and South Africa as his dark horses).

The TNT team are in a studio in London which makes commentating quite tricky as they are only seeing the TV feed. Not actually looking out of the window.

Which is how most of cycling is done too I suppose.

So the Aussies are going to be able to bowl at England under lights with a new ball and a lead well over 150 (assuming England can take 2 more wickets). That will be fun.

Innings defeat incoming...

Just got up and turned TV on. Currently Aus are ahead by 174 runs with 1 wicket remaining. Too big a lead to overcome especially on day night Test
Match over me thinks

I came here to post the exact same 3 words.

So I will add: All over by the lunch break tomorrow, at the latest.

On the plus side I signed up to Discovery+ for a month to watch the Autumn series rugby and I've got it until 8th Dec so I definitely won't be missing any of the cricket this Test 😂.
In fact I'll almost certainly be left with a day spare.

 

[Binky]

Have we spoken too soon? Going well.

Oh bugger, I've cursed them now!

 

[geocycle]

Not a good position, massive deficit and under the lights. This England team has a habit of folding if the chance of winning however remote is removed. Let’s see….
