It didn’t. We had Australia 150-4 then dropped a couple chances and bowled a wicket no ball later. They should have been bowled out for far less than they were.
It was the wrong call as soon as we didn’t get any wickets that evening, but it could have really put a massive statement down if it came off.
Show that you've watched this test match without saying you've watched this test match ^^
100% the wrong call but some do not want to admit it. There is being brave and there is forcing the issue just to look 'brave' and this smacked of the latter. Didn't make any logical sense especially when plenty of time to spare and England batting really well. Could have been out of sight and really put Aussies under pressure - instead kept the game too alive.
Is the issue with Moeen that he hasn't got the callouses required for this many overs, or something deeper than that?
need one of those broad spells here.
Marnus is shite, flat track bully
I can’t deal with the anxiety of waiting to see if Broad has bowled a no ball every time he takes a wicket.
Broad's bunny.
Bairstow's caught two in a row!
Are we in business here
things looking up all of a sudden
Yeah I imagine his hands have just gone a bit soft not playing this much for so long, and maybe a bit of bad luck thrown in because it did seem to come on pretty quickly
Not with these two looking on easy street
Yeah we let them off with those mistakes and most of it was such basic errors
Come on man, I’m a miserable fecker in life but you’re putting me to shame in this threadSandpaper Steve is out
The camera angles for the appeal and the wicket this over were appalling. What are they doing?
Oi oi piggy out
Game fecking on 
Big wicket!
Nice Jinx.
Game on now
Massive!
Fecking love the Ashes, lets have at em!
This has definitely swung in England’s favour now. Given enough time tomorrow it’s hard to see them not winning
This game has been so fun, no team seems to get too far ahead I’m loving it
Scott Boland is the new Nighthawk
If King Khawaja is still there, he should see them through. Still have Head, Green and Carey to come in and its not a huge target now.
England saving test cricket!
Still think Australia are favourites, slight favourites.
Boland done well here.
Just frustrated we aren't in better position due to combo of declaration,Bairstow mistakes and Broad no ball
Yeah annoyingly so
Head is the last remaining wildcard for me, with the form he’s in and how quickly he can score, if he gets in he can take the game away from England but equally that makes him a risk for getting out fast.
Chasing the win tomorrow the Aussies will make mistakes, and with two of their best batsmen gone, for me that gives England the edge. It’s set up for a really fascinating day 5. I hope that it doesn’t rain out and we get to see the match play to conclusion.
I know Boland's the night watchman, but surely Khawaja should be running that 3 and that 1?
Pretty crazy to me he isn't -- every run matters here

No way, he played it correctly.
Test cricket >>>
Australia slight favourites I'd say , but getting Smith and Labuschagne cheaply is massive so England are well in it still.
Hope the weather is ok tomorrow.

Hopefully weather stays clear. Been a terrific match so far, Aussies just ahead but a couple of quick wickets & England will fancy their chances.
