We will never, ever EVER get Steve Smith out.

If we can restrict them from scoring so they are still in bat at the close it will be interesting tomorrow.
Is it? I've only seen them say it's due to be clear for the rest of the test.
Money on Australia when the draw became odds on was the bet.

We just missed a penalty!

Unbelievable field set from Root, what the hell is this? 1 slip and nobody around the bat for Leach
How do those always land safely for Smith? Lucky *******

And this is why Root is a terrible captain, high class batsman but clueless captain.

Smith gets past 50 so realistically another century on its way. The hope is that taking into account the last test result Australia will delay their declaration too long, so that it cant happen again.

343 runs ahead on this pitch, I can’t believe they aren’t declaring yet, perhaps waiting for Smith to get his century but there’s no chance we are chasing that on this surface, Edgbaston was completely different as the pitch was getting better.

Smith is so good even when he is taking the piss he is the best batsman in the world.

Surely they will send in a night watchman again here, to open this time though?
Edit: Nope, don’t really understand that.
