England favourites now
Game refusing to swing too far one way still.
Root doing a good job at holding down an end here.
Marginally... Aussie's still have a great chance while Khawaja is still in
Aussies will still win it.
Yeah I'd agree there. The pitch is still good to bat on, less than 90 runs and Khawaja playing like he's Bradman with Carey and Cummins still support. I'd have the Aussies as favourites as England are getting the odd wicket but not in clumps
this game is 1 wicket from changing.. not sure how people can say Aus are favourites..
Probably because that one wicket hasn’t yet fallen?
This isn't as smart as you think it sounds. "Favourites" is also a prediction.
I wouldn’t bowl Ali at all. Just feel he’s going to give away too many easy runs.
This is shite batting. If they make it until the new ball they'll still need 50 odd at this rate.
Cummins is no mug with the bat if they can get the total near there. England need to keep applying the pressure.
Why do the Aussie's have so many left-handers? Is it because they live upside-down or something?
Yeah Root seems to have held up an end cutting off the easy runs.
I agree. He obviously can’t control it properly with his injury and is gifting boundaries. Just play Root and the seamers.
No sense at all in bowling Ali
Yeah, even that one over released loads of pressure.
Here comes Stokes...
He's clearly not fully fit to bowl
have we had a single decent LBW shout in this innings? I can't recall one.
I think England are going to have to turn to their main bowling attack.
Can’t take anything away from Khawaja here, playing brilliantly when you thought Smith, Head and Labuchagne would be the problem.
Saving them for the new bowl although Robinson can still bowl up to then.
Got to restrict them up until then. This seems to be slipping away from England again.
I don’t get the Aussie tactics here.. shouldn’t they be looking to score a few runs before the new ball makes it harder?
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Big moment
Yes, Game on.
Well in Stokesy! Massive wicket.
What a man! 
Get the feck in Stokesy
Yes! Get in!
Aussies have been dithering too much with the chase. England deserved that bit of luck.
Nice one, skip.
Of course he did that. Of fecking course.
Surely the Aussies have to go after it now? The plodding approach only seemed to be viable with Khawaja around as a base.
Tiger Woods winning the US Open one leg levels of elite this guy. Jesus Stokes.
Carey has to go for it now.
Reckon they’ll attack now? They can’t leave it to the new ball surely.
