An early declaration by Australia followed by a bit of brave batting by England.
England have passed 200 for the first time this series and the likes of Matt Prior looking more comfortable at the crease.
I am feeling hopeful that I can wake up tomorrow with either England scraping a narrow win or digging in for the draw. I know, I know a win really is pie in the sky thinking! But if England can keep the Aussies at only one win then I think England can take the series.
I think this as I think the Aussies appear mentally fragile.
All the bluster and slagging off of some England players show a team of bad winners, a team almost unaccustomed to winning, therefore I feel any set back will shake them. It is all good and well taking wickets and scoring runs when you are on the up but I think they lack the strength to keep up the good when the opposition fight back. As the likes of the Durham test this summer showed.
I may well be proved wrong but those are my hopes and thoughts and will keep me going until my alarm goes off tomorrow morning :)
