Nice little lead for the 1st innings.:sunny:

50 up. Lead out to 184.

Woot 0-124. Lead out to 258. Looking like a tough day in the field for England. :woot:

Watson gets his ton then gets out in a comedy of errors. Lead out to 463. Declaration coming up just before lunch I'd say.

And there's the declaration. England have a mammoth task to get 504 with the remaining sessions today and all day tomorrow to keep the series alive. Looking like a 3-0 drubbing on the cards. The cracks in the pitch are huge and the batting from England so far this series hasn't shown the resilience needed to save this test.

Oh yeah! Cook bowled by Harris. England 1-5

Carberry gone. 2-62

5-236 could see a result tonight!

Stumps on day 4. Should be all done by lunch tomorrow.

Day 5. Australia were sweating on the breakthrough. Prior out. 6-296. C'mon 4 more wickets and the urn returns.

Must commend Stokes on his batting. He may be the first pom to post a ton this series.

He did it. Well played young man. He's given Australia something to think about. Lunch and England need 172 runs and Australia needs 4 more wickets.

Stokes gone. 3 to go. This is the real count down.

2 left. Broad comes out with his foot strapped up like a mummy.

1 to get . :sunny:

And that's the Ashes. Thanks for coming England. 3-0!
