You've no chance of getting Patterson out

Liking that you've got 3 wickets with Ali against the AI though, that's great to see.

Yeah he went for a few but the man just cuts through sometimes.....the Paine wicket was an absolute beauty....2 overs before tea Jimmy A asks for an over....Root was doubtful but Anderson persisted as the Old Grumpmeister only can and third ball seamed one off the pitch to knock out Timothy’s middle peg......much glee thus creating!

@Rumple43 Blimey you were right about Patterson!!!! Guys a limpet.....Australia well ahead now......

Oh yeah, they've taken that one away from you significantly. Still a chance but you need some quick wickets, as you say. Anything 300+ and it'll be tricky!

So this game really can you have you thinking sometimes: day three started with England needing three wickets and with 12 overs till the new ball and Root went with Broad and Anderson to try and knock them over and although Anderson got Stark, the Aussies stuck in there with Patterson edging towards his century....in the 79th over on comes Ali....gets Richardson first ball!...Root doesnt take the new ball and sticks with Ali.......only goes and gets Lyons nicking into the hands of Stokes at slip leaving Patterson short!

However England up a certain creek without all the neccessary rowing equipment......exasperated by the fact that I will be batting for them! England will need 330 to pull this off.....

Good start by England!!! First break third day in the day night test....

Mmm what does Boycott say about sticking two wickets on to the scorecard, dont look so pretty then does it......I do love the fact that even playing defensively you can get out to spin....

330 will be a long way off if you lose a few more. Very finely balanced!

Curran Injured 3 overs bit stiff or has root cracked it

Yeah there were some salty questions at the press conference about thatand Roots answer that he had forgotten he was there didnt clear the atmosphere too much!

 

[Rumple43]

I've found the AI bowler usage to be quite variable. There often seems to be a forgotten man in the England bowling attack in my experience, strangely. I've had one innings where Ali hardly bowled, another where Stokes hardly got a bowl, it's all quite peculiar!

 

[Dutch]

Mmm England abdicated very easily in the end.....woeful!

 

[Rumple43]

Somewhat realistically predictable! Looks like a relatively even contest though, good effort.

 

[Dutch]

Yeah batting last was deffo harder, as it should be.....
