Atkinson strikes in the 3rd over with the second new ball, another catch for Smith. 416-8, a lead of 82.

buffybegood · December 2025

450-8 at lunch, a lead of 116 already.

buffybegood · December 2025

Starc finally goes for 77, Stokes taking the catch off Carse. 491-9, a lead of 157.

buffybegood · December 2025

Jacks takes the final wicket, 511 all out, a first innings lead of 177.

England now faced with the nightmare scenario of facing Starc with the new ball just as the lights come on.

buffybegood · December 2025

Solid start, 45-0 at tea.

buffybegood · December 2025

Duckett goes just after tea, to a ball that kept really low. 48-1.

buffybegood · December 2025

Pope gone for 26, not a great shot tbh. 90-2, still 87 behind.

buffybegood · December 2025

Crawley copies Pope by offering a return catch to the bowler, he's gone for 44. 97-3.

buffybegood · December 2025

Root's gone, and probably the Ashes with him. 121-4.

buffybegood · December 2025

Brook given out for caught behind, but he's nowhere near it, so he survives on review. Next ball he's not given, and Australia review, and this time he has nicked it. 123-5.

buffybegood · December 2025

Smith gone after edging one, and bizarrely reviews it. 128-6.

buffybegood · December 2025

134-6 at close of play, still 43 runs behind.

buffybegood · December 2025

Australia will need to bat again, scores are level, 177-6.

buffybegood · December 2025

193-6 at lunch, a lead of 16.

buffybegood · December 2025

Jacks goes for 41, 224-7, a lead of 47.

buffybegood · December 2025

And Stokes follows him shortly afterwards, going for 50. 227-8.

buffybegood · December 2025

Atkinson gone, 231-9.

buffybegood · December 2025

Carse gone, 241 all out. Australia need just 65 to win.

buffybegood · December 2025

37-1, too little, too late.

buffybegood · December 2025

Australia win by 8 wickets.

Lukerz · December 2025

Who do England play in the next series?

Giant_Hammer · December 2025

A long John silver eleven. That’ll cut down the runs a bit.

buffybegood · December 2025

Mark Wood out for the final 3 Tests:

T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka from February to March.

New Zealand and India touring next summer.

3rd Test starts this evening at 11.30pm. Despite winning the toss and losing the first 2 Tests, this is another huge toss to win, especially as we're not playing a front line spinner again on a pitch that's more likely to turn, especially by the fourth innings.

buffybegood · December 2025

Oh well, Australia won the toss and obviously will bat. Cummins back for Australia, but the cheat Smith misses out through illness (or karma maybe?). Tongue in for Atkinson as was expected is our only change from the last Test.

buffybegood · December 2025

326-8 at close of play, but we had chances for it to have been better. We're still just about in it, but it's going to be an uphill struggle to get anything from thhe match.

Dodger58 · December 2025

@buffybegood have you seen that the Aussies Snicko used the Mike from the wrong end to fail to give Carey out caught behind on 72? Looks more evenly balanced at the moment, but we haven’t batted yet!

buffybegood · December 2025

Yeah, it was shocking bad, and obviously went their way. Snicko seems a lot less reliable than Ultraedge imo.
