Yes, umpires call
Hitting the bails, just, trouble is that brings Smith in (doesn’t it??)

Drizzling slightly
Need to keep the foot on the throat, this is our chance.
Head has lost this, why Dar didn’t give it out LBW straight away is confusing the 'taters

LBW but Wade has reviewed…
Pitching outside leg, reverse the decision…not out
I know that the foreshortening effect of the camera is deceptive, but on at least half of those he looks to be in danger of a hit wicket dismissal.
Q. How do you get Steve Smith out?
A. Break his arm? (Or at least try to)

He’s struggling in a lot of pain and has a massive egg on his forearm.
But still fucking in.
Or, hit him in the face with a ball…
Ouch.
Smith off for concussion assessment.
Brutal.

He’s gone, didn’t look the same after wearing that Archer delivery, I love watching him, just not against us!
Fucks sake, 9-2, another failure for Roy, root gone 1st ball.
No fucker listens to me #mentallyweak

Smith replaced by concussion substitute. No more part of this game.
Anyone else worried that pitch still looks ok to bat on?
Stokes showing great mental strength. Gets Englabd through the tough times then let’s loose to score a brilliant ton

Declaration made on 258/5, with Stokes 115 not out and Bairstow 30 not out. So Australia need 266 to win, with 48 overs available. Highly unlikely they’ll try to chase this down, especially with Smith out of the match. Looks unlikely that we’ll bowl them out in 48 overs, but you never know. And at the very least we’ll be able to make some inroads into the Aussie batting and take some momentum into the next Test on Thursday.
They’re chasing it.
