What a comeback by Australia! Warner finally converted a decent start into something more meaningful while Khawaja is playing well too on the other end. However, I still think it's 50-50 at this point.
I just hope rain doesn't interfere and screw another test since this one looks like it will be a cracking match till the end.

90 overs remaining, and Australia needs another 249 runs, with 10 wickets in hand. Now the equation seems more in favor of Australia, when compared to the one we had yesterday (180 overs, 384 to win with 10 wickets in hand). I would still be cautious rather than saying that Australia is having the upper hand here. Biggest obstacle that stands between England and a win here is the fact that the Poms doesn't have a quality spinner for the 5th day. Joe Root can do a lot of damage, but there is no one who could provide support from the other end.
There is a chance of rain tomorrow too. And more importantly, Australia has yet to lose a single wicket. However, collecting 249 runs is not a difficult task for Australia. However, Australia's target will be to draw the match. Because they can win the series only if they are able to draw the match. Luck is probably not with England. Now maybe the match will be a draw or England will lose. England's chances of winning are slim. The series is likely to be England's to lose.
To my surprise, the Australian opening pair have collected 135 runs and they have not lost any wickets. David Warner playing on 58 and Usman Khawaja on 69 not out, look perfect to chase down this total but the only threat to them is the rain on the fifth and final day of this test match. Australia will be hoping that there is no rain and I am sure that they will chase this target easily.
On the other hand, if this match is also become affected by the rain, even then Australia will be the one will be the Ashes 2023 winner. So, either way, it will be a joyous moment for them, although they would want to win this match too.
Australia's two opening batsmen will have a great chance to win against England with this great performance of Australia today. England bowling performance is not a very good one as the bowling is completed till 38 overs but no wickets fall. England team must win with bowling performance to ensure victory because Chris Woakes has done great bowling performance at the moment so he should bowl more. But there are many bowlers who have scored massive runs that should be kept between breaks for now.
Australia's game quality is still very good and they are yet to lose a wicket and complete 135 runs they need only 249 runs to win. I guess they can manage this run. Australia have played 4 matches with England before, in those matches England won only 1 time and Australia won 2 times and 1 match was drawn. However, coming to the 5th match, Australia has a lot of chances to win this time. David Warner and Usman Khawaja continue to play without getting out. They will cross 150 runs very quickly and even if they get out after that, there will be no problem as the rest of the players can manage the rest of the runs

I think if Australian oppner khawaja and Warner play long continuously tomorrow then possiblity of thier victory will goes high, as because they just required 249 with a 10 wicket in hand, while thier opening pair scored more than 130 runs partnership with half century of both of thier player which is not really good for England because they are already behind by 2-1 and this defeat will not only push them down but will cause of ashes defeat too, so now the only solution for England Bowler is to broke the ongoing partnership in order to avoid the danger and for next few overs should focus on taking quick wickets to get into the game .
It looks like English team is in danger as game is going in favour of Australia. The only result England want is a win here, England already 2-1 down in the series. 4th day play was halted because of rain. On such surface its difficult to bat on but both Australian openers are batting comfortably. First session of tomorrow play is important for England, if they weren't able to pick wickets then its over and out for them.
as you says, england should make strong strategy tomorrow to pick up wickets of these two well sets batsmen to put pressure. now this match become like low scoring game and most of the times its happen that team all outs. Winning odds for England is now less than 30%.
There is rain once again and Aussies won't mind whether it's rain or clear skies. A draw here (due to rain) will result in series win for Australia while a win by England will result in series draw. Right now the way Aussies openers are batting, it will be an easy win for Australia. England bowling is usual, it's Aussie openers that are too good in batting today.
Rain here actually helping England. After wicketless sessions and 100+ runs opening partnership. English bowlers could use a break and come back later for another push. Atm pitch is not offering any assistance for the seamers, they would love it if some reverse swing comes into play but it would depend on ball conditions as well. Spin doing some tricks but they can't completely rely on Moeen and Root only.

Well, suddenly this does look like a very much achievable for Australia. They already have a very good start. They have a great opening partnership which is a great foundation to build on I will say. Australia will need 249 from 98 overs. I think that is achievable. After all, they have scored 135 without losing a single wicket. The key for them is going to be not to actually lose any wickets. But let’s be honest, at the start of the next day probably Australia will end up losing one. So they will have to keep in mind that even if they do lose one wicket or two, they will have to build up partnerships again. Before this first wicket partnership, it was looking really bad for Australia. But now it is looking quite good. Let’s see if English bowlers can actually do some damage early on in the next day.

The fourth match was completely under England's control. But England could not win the match due to rain. In the end the match was a draw and the Australian team was leading the series 2-1. England batted well in the second innings. But the way Australia's two openers Warner and Usman Khawaja are batting, it seems that Australia will easily win the match. Australia need only 249 runs to win. The match is being delayed due to rain. Even if this match is a draw, England will suffer. Maybe they don't have to lose this match. But Australia will win the series.

I thought this target would be somewhat big for Australia, but it seems they are managing it very well. The opening pair gave them a good start to the innings. Now they have a full day and ten wickets in hand to chase 249 more runs which should not be hard for them.
In the meantime, England will try to have a good first session of the next day. It won't be easy to take ten wickets. But this is not an impossible task either. Sad to hear that Stuart Broad announced his retirement. Best of luck for him and his family.

The way Australia's two openers are batting, their chances of defeat are decreasing. They are batting very responsibly. Australia collected 135 runs in 38 overs without losing any wicket.

Australia have already accumulated 135 runs with two great batsmen at the crease. David Warner and Usman Khawaja's excellent batting performance has taken Australia a long way today as they need only 249 runs to reach their target. But at the moment the match is suspended due to rain, the match will be suspended until the rain clears, although it is difficult to say how the Australian game will play out due to the rain. But England are not bowling very well today and have not taken any wickets yet due to which Australia are batting brilliantly. Since David Warner and Usman Khawaja are still at the crease, if England can't take wickets then Australia will have more chances to win today's match.
