Unfortunately the rain is playing spoils... it was building up to be a good game with all the talk. Hope we get some play today
Well Aussi started well but fail to convert into good starts and manage just 263 runs which is giving edge to England who almost near to 50 runs at 1 wicket!
Well I think rain surly save Aussi in 3rd test as it's continues today too and it's impossible to have results in next 2 and half days! England totally control the game but rain is make things impossible to have some results in this match!
cant wait for the fourth test starting in a couple of hours.... Looks like Flintoff is out, big blow for England. Harmison might be the replacement.
Aussie bowlers cut and shred England's batting order, England all out for 102 Australia look strong in winning the fourth test with and estimated 87% chance of success as protected via the sbs.com.au/ ashes website. Australia's four-man pace attack found swing, accuracy and momentum to seize control of the fourth Test at Headingley, with England all out for 102. in 33.5 overs. Peter Siddle claimed the lion's share of the wickets, with 5 for 21 including a post-lunch spell of 4 for 3 in 14 balls as England's tail capitulated, The star of the show was the recalled Stuart Clark, whose three wicket burst in the morning session cut the innings to shreds. From this result it looks likely that the fifth test will be the decider for the ashes series, and with the latest score card results it may turn out to be an Aussie victory. ROOFIS
What a Comeback from Aussi as they took half days to build a lead! This ground is famous for results and it has record of 100% results since 1996/97. This seems match might be finish in on day 3.
Well england will have to bat to the limit and will have to dismiss aussies quickly to remain in the match.
Well Aussi is heading towards to big leads, England have a hope if the bowled them under 25o-275 runs to reduce the damage otherwise it is very difficult for them to save match!
It may be possible as right now England have no chance to comeback in this match unless rain help them. Aussi took 204 runs leads and now it looks match will end tomorrow.
Update - 4th test is definitely Australia's game Yeah this test it's definitely Australia's game. England will need another 261 runs (at this time in writing) just to even the score card yet alone generate some sort of competitive lead As it stands England's 2nd innings tally is at 5 for 82 after 32.0 overs. when Australia win the 4th test the 2009 Ashes series will be tied at 1 win each way plus 2 draws outright, making the 5th test the ultimate decider. England will need to win the next test if they wish to win the series as a draw in the 5th will allow Australia to retain the Ashes and victory rights over English cricket, hehehehaha!~ ROOFIS
