Big wobble. Is the beginning of the end?

Game on

 

[Neoprod]

Don't know how much rain there was but the ground is in very good condition. Was expecting the ball to get wet after a couple trips across the outfield and not spin or swing...instead Woakes is still making it talk.

England in pole position with that wicket of Smith.

 

[Maurice Kitching]

Jirre jissis.

Some quick wickets for England in the last few overs.

Australia falling apart now. England is enjoying bowling on this wicket with the current conditions.

and with their brand new ball

Their 3rd brand new ball

Their 3rd brand new ball

They haven't taken the 3rd new ball yet, still playing with the second new ball.

They haven't taken the 3rd new ball yet, still playing with the second new ball.

And still making the best of it, though Australia gave two of those wickets away.

England are getting really desperate for a win and keep the fans amused.

What did I miss, has England been caught sand papering the ball?

Woosh

 

[RunningFromFat]

Woosh

Did they change the ball twice? Because they didn't take the new ball @80 overs.

 

[Neoprod]

That ball to Murphy.

 

[thirstycurve]

What a fitting finish to a fantastic series

 

[Heisenborg]

What a legend. Go well Broady

Got 3 early wickets out of a substituted ball, but I don't know that it would have made a difference. Well done to England for the match, though the way they carry on you'd think they won the series and have the Ashes.

Respect to Broad from Warner during the walk-off.

Fair result in the end.
England fought back really well. Will regret not picking woakes for the first 2 tests.
Aus will have big regrets. Being 2-0 up it was their best chance to win in 20 years.

I reckon that would have happened if the rain stayed away at the Manchester test.

Well done to Auz for the retaining the Ashes.
Well done to England for the entertainment and always pushing for a result during the series.

Thank you Broady for your service over the years.

I think England will have the biggest regrets.

Forget about the rained out Manchester Test when England where in the pound seats.

I think,
1. The early declaration on the first day of the series.
2. Bairtsow's dumb brain fart moment "run out".

Will be regretted by England.
