At least I got to bed at a reasonable time. 11-3 was enough for me. Tonight I'm going tgo watch it on BT with the sound from TMS. The BT coverage was shocking!!

In good news, we may get saved by the weather!

Even if we can barely bat two sessions? {I haven't checked the forecast.}

I reckon the Convicts only need 4-5 sessions to win the match.

200 run lead with 3 batters left, Stokes bowling 14 no-balls (incl a wicket ball) and then jarring his knee and now weather forecast has changed to bright blue skies for next 2 days. Going well :-(

I know. This series always had whitewash written all over it.

Winning the toss on a green seamer with cloud cover was our one chance. And we blew it.

Good rescue job by Root and Malan, just need to see off the new ball later and we might get out of this with a draw

New ball? There's about 10 overs they'll have to negotiate before that.

Btw, what happened to all the rain?

We need to bat for 4-5 sessions more to get a draw, with both openers already gone.

We need to bring back that flight-down under drinking contest.
