Pretty stodgy conditions to bowl in when you need wickets.

Still got a free change of ball...

Also love watching Stokes' eyes look straight at Marnus after he reviewed the not out call just to know whether he got him

New weather forecast for today

There will be many rainy times today and also some dry times.

We'll chip away and get the remaining wickets and then have to chase ≈80 and we'll do it.

The ashes will be alive and the choice to not declare will be vindicated.

Have faith.

My read of the radar is there will be probably about an hour's play at 3pm. England have basically 20 overs to win back the Ashes.

Edit: in the meantime you Englanders you can see whether your man Lewis can win again

It’s now 4pm and I doubt there will be any play

GG Australia. Bad luck Bazball.

WinViz has the draw at 96%.

The outfield is basically flooded even if it stops raining right now won't be enough time to sort it

Stokes appears to be getting off scot free in the British press for his role in game 5 being a dead rubber. The game 1 declaration supercedes his game 4 lack of declaration IMO but if you put them in the SIM they would both significantly impact on win expectancy

The lack of declaration in game 4 had ~0 impact on win expectancy. If they'd been scoring at 4s or something then it would have been bad but the last wicket was 66 runs in 8 overs. Game 1 was obviously a significant mistake though.

It likely didn't matter in this game given the washout but in a situation where you know overs are severely limited and its win or bust surely an early declaration is better?

You need X runs and Y wickets for the win.

Y is known, X is unknown. Sensible option to me is to get the wickets first and runs after so that you are not wasting overs on unneccesary runs?
