Still couldn't believe that Smith missed his 3rd consecutive century by just 8 runs.
Yes, it was heart breaking to see Smith missed his 3rd consecutive century. I am worried about him for the 2nd innings. Can he bat the way he do? I hope the injury is not much serious.
Still couldn't believe that Smith missed his 3rd consecutive century by just 8 runs. I was expecting that he'll score another ton today, but probably the injury he received while facing Jofra Archer disrupted his concentration. At the same time, it was tragic to watch all the other Australian batsmen struggling against the mediocre English attack. Apart from Smith, none of the other batsmen could score a half century.
That said, Cummins and Siddle bowled well during the second innings. If they could get England all out during tomorrow's first session, then there is a very good chance of getting a result. But Nathan Lyon looked very ineffective today. If Australia is going to win this match, the Lyon needs to play a more proactive role in getting the English batsmen out.

I am hating this rain. Around 8+ overs were wasted. If the match were continued then we might see one or two more wickets to down. Good for England.
Regardless of the result of the match (which will be draw) i am disappointed with England performance. 96/4 in second innings is not something which you will be looking by England nation. Even though match will be draw, but England need to reconsider how they can rectify their batting issues.
I will not say that this current Australia has their best squad (I am missing Starc) but the way they are coming back to the match every time, is really exciting. England seems a team who does not have any clue what they are doing. Their top order needs to be sorted. ~snip~
Highly unlikely, they already lost 2 wickets Roy and Root for 20 runs. Unless they give a stand and play the right balls, Aussies are getting a chance here.
Maybe, my predictions will go wrong and Aussies will win, but England is nowhere near winning this game.
Only 30 overs left of today.Highly unlikely, they already lost 2 wickets Roy and Root for 20 runs. Unless they give a stand and play the right balls, Aussies are getting a chance here.
Maybe, my predictions will go wrong and Aussies will win, but England is nowhere near winning this game.
Since England lost two early wickets, we will see defensive batting from England which means England will try to stay in the pitch as long as they can. This will be a draw match.
With two more wickets down, England seems to be in trouble now. Even though they now have a 100 run lead, it's very difficult to say if they're doing fine at this time with only this much lead. Tomorrow is going to be a very interesting day! Let's just hope that rain doesn't ruin that last day.

I am not expecting much from this Test but if Australia can all out English and can win this match then I will be a happy man. They have possibilities. Took 4 wickets very early. Now Stokes and Battler are the challenge for Australia. Get at least one of them before stumps today and then tomorrow go for the rest of the wickets as early as possible. If Australia get a target of 150 or 180 then they can win this match. With two more wickets down, England seems to be in trouble now.

Around 40 overs left for today. May be England will manage 120+ runs and then tomorrow they will try to add more 100 runs. All together before launch if they manage to get 330 to 350 runs lead and then ask Australia to bat for the 2nd innings then may be we will see some excitements.
But I highly doubt any excitement from this Test.

1st wicket gone and it's again Roy whose gone. They should replace him now as he's not able to perform since 4 innings now and getting out early which puts pressure on Burns to perform well.
Edit: Root gone too. England needs to desperately win this match as they are in a better position than last time.
The umpires are taking better decisions this time.

Allout! There is no big difference in the scores now. England managed to get a lead of just 8 runs. If the English plan to go for quick runs, things might change and Australia might turn the game around. So if they were clever enough, they'll try to play till lunch tomorrow. So yeah the odds are mostly a draw.

I don't see a chance for Aus to win this match with two days left and are down to 80/4 and trailing by 178 runs. Aus will most probably try to bat out the day and will look for a draw while the Eng will be try to bundle out Aus early and put some quick scores on board and will hope to bundle out Aus once again. So either it's going to be a draw and Aus leading the series or the English winning this match and leveling the series. But the probability of a draw is higher so I'll bet on it.

Don't bet for a draw now because Australia are 4 out for 80 only and if England are able to take wickets quickly, they might end up with 80 runs lead. And they could make another 200 in today's day which will give them around 280 lead. England will have full 5th day to take 10 wickets to win this match. Although this seems a little difficult but that how the winning teams thinks to win.

Smith's gone lol That too 8 runs short for a century.
Now they dropped the 9th wicket so 2 more wickets still left for 235 and 23 more runs to chase. England are playing well now.

Srilanka should win this match at Galle and i think it will be another upset. Consider the fact that NewZealand was the runner up in the worldcup and srilanka was a not a strong team. Although this is another format of cricket, but still Newzealnad was favorable to win this one before the start of this test.
With all due respect Bhai.
We shouldn't use WC "runner up" example here at all. As you already know very well that its different format. But if we are using "upset" in term of Test Ranking, then it makes sense because SL and NZ ranks 6th and 2nd respectively.
As of now SL looking secure with 60+ runs partnership for 1st wicket. We are yet to see how SL face Ajaz Patel because Satner not doing much right now.
Yes i agree that ODI and test matches should not be compared but still Srilanka win will be an upset.

133 without losing any wicket. Sri Lanka is at the top. Their failure of wrapping up the Nz's tailenders did not create any problem at all. From here Sri Lanka can hope for a big win against ranking #2 Test nation. NZ did not play up to the mark in this Test.As of now SL looking secure with 60+ runs partnership for 1st wicket. We are yet to see how SL face Ajaz Patel because Satner not doing much right now.
In the other match which I am following of course, Australia is not in a good position. The hope is that Smith is in the pitch still.
It does not matter now how Australia end up this innings. This match is going towards the draw. If it had not been rain on the first day, we might have had the result but now draw is what i can see from here.

Yeah good thing is that Smith is back. Now if he can bat as he does then may be Australia has some chances however I think the fate of this Test has already written. It must be a draw match.
Let's wait for end of tomorrow.

Damn! Smith got injured but no clue if the injury is serious. Now chances of Australia getting a score of 300 is more probable.
Hope England take these 4 wickets soon and end Aussie's innings with less than 50 runs to chase. Then having two more innings would look more possible in a 1.5 days period.
That's fast :-P
England must be sad now but they got the 7th wicket. They should have been quick taking 3 more wickets but they did not get time and now with Smith back, it's going to be tough

Steven Smith is coming back out to bat! Unbowed, unbroken, and still unbeaten. Lively reception, some boos audible this time...

Archer to Smith, no run, oh dear! He's been clattered here by the short ball. He's down. This is nasty. Took him on the unprotected part of the neck. The medics are out there straightaway, from both sides, and the England players have immediately gone to Smith. These are not scenes you want to see. Smith is lying on his back in the crease as he gets seen to by medical staff. Everyone will take the utmost care here with Smith. He's standing up again. He looks dazed. Talking to the doctor now. Will be going through concussion tests. Looks as though he's retiring hurt. Smith walks off Lord's to warm applause
https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/19430/game/1152847/england-vs-australia-2nd-test-icc-world-test-championship-2019-2021Not looking good. I suspect Australian can not go much from here. This is the best chance England can have in this test.
Another wicket down. Still the good thing is that Smith is there. Australia is still trailing by 94 runs and only 4 wickets in hand. In test cricket losing tailenders in only few runs is very possible. This test still has not died despite having only one and half day left.
Imagine Australia lost the 4 wickets in the next few overs only adding few runs. Say England find themselves having a lead of 60 runs. They will bat today and will score very quickly and if they can add 200 runs and if they ask Australia to bat again in the morning giving a target of 260 runs, then in the fifth day it's not very easy to chase or even bat for the whole day.
Let's just hope that there will be no rain anymore.

Probably no one cares when some Australian wicket goes down. As long as Smith is there, he can get Australia to a good total. Last time, he made good partnerships with the no.10 and no.11 batsmen.
BTW, have the Brits forgot the fact that today is the 4th day? Pacers are doing most of the work and the only spinner (Jack Leach) has just 7 overs to his name out of the total of 75.

AUS vs ENG
Same story with OZ. Once again their bowlers were struggling to get tailenders out. Here I think Starc's deadly's yorker and swing comes in play against the tailenders.
Right now English Camp looks happy with 225 runs lead on the board and Warner sitting in the dugout.
Correct SL vs NZ game is going towards a result, no doubt about that and if kiwis manage to put 225-250 runs lead then SL need some brave innings to win this game.
This pitch is turning out to be a gold mine for spinners. 2 spinners already took fifer for their respective team. You can imagine what will happen during the last inning.
According to current scenario 150-180 runs target for Sri Lankans? Kiwis top order failed and Ross taylor gone as well.
Sirilanka is good team who gives effort to win so according to me it is not big deal for them to make 150 in test match. In test match players don’t take much stress but they only give their best and sirilankan team has allot of New player taking New players is not easy they takes allot of trials and then choose good players onlySame story with OZ.

I thought of placing another hedge bet on Sri Lanka and New Zealand too, but the combined odds were pretty poor and it most probably might not end in a draw. Lets see what happens.

SL really have a shown of resistance in their second innings and this has help them to make 133 for no loss and now just require 135 runs and should be a easy win for them and win. NZ would be very unhappy as they are not able to take any wickets and batting fourth is not that easy and when someone like SL is playing where they are still finding to have the right players .
