It's 23 mins past midnight in Paris. Will the Ashes have been lost before I wake?

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.

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.

Wasn't it Boon who did 52 beers on the way over to us?
