England shooting themselves in the foot yet again, terrible shots from Cook & Trott

53 in front with 7 wickets left, Bell & KP need to score big !!!!

In the balance
 
Hahahah that is the worst DRS review in the history of DRS reviews, well done Aussies, totally clueless !!!!

Almost missing a 2nd set of stumps

Bell / KP have batted very well, roughly 120 in front now...
 
Id be tempted to change the England batting around for The Oval

Cook
Compton
Trott
KP
Bell
Root

or

Cook
Root
Trott
KP
Bell
Taylor

Shouldn't Bairstow be complaining like some kind of pussy over the bodyline bowling?

Fair play to him, he has batted superbly well, is actually playing straight now, has defo learnt from his previous faults...

Bell, well what more can you say, superstar of this series

That wasn't a dig at Bairstow - it was a dig at the Aussies for being little bitches a long time ago.
 
at the end of this series all the grounds should rename a section the Ian Bell End, he's been magnificent

of course the Aussies have many bell ends already
 
Jeez Ive been the kiss of death again !!!

England 189-5 basically, I feel if we can get to a 300 plus lead we will pick the Aussies off and win the test...

Bresnan in as night watchman for Prior it seems, Prior has been awful with the bat and really needs to get a score this time around

Can't drop Root down the order IMO, especially after 180 just a few innings ago. After giving him the role, we need to give him time.

Bairstow gone for 28. He played well but again failed to make a score. I'd like to see Taylor come in for The Oval at 6.

Bell pulling our cherries out of the fire again

Doubt we will get to 300 lead with the new ball only 11 overs away. I'd take a 250 lead right now.
 
Bell with his 20th test hundred, 3 hundreds in this series plus 2 50s, incredible batting...!!!

You sir are a star !!!!

He hasnt got another score though, just one knock, he is one hell of a talent thats for sure, maybe he needs a bit of protection, be interesting to see what happens in Oz
 
Brilliant knock from Ian Bell, where would we be without him in this series? 3-0 down probably.

The Aussies have changed their batting lineup and it's brought them relative success, why shouldn't we do the same if ours continues to underperform?
 
If we can get near to 300 lead this should be safe although still two days left to play. A big ton by Clark would see them threatening anything around 350 although surely the wicket is deteriorating now.
 
I think we need 300ish. Warner can change a game if he decides to hit out as if its an ODI.... and Clark... get them out and we will win
 
50 runs in 7 overs with 3 wickets so far, important 40 plus from Bresnan

Prior out 1st ball, he has been awful this series...

Lead over 270 now, important stuff this, good to watch though
