Good start.

126 for no loss but Khawaja just got sconed on the helmet. After a brief delay completing the standard concussion test, he has just hit two consecutive boundaries. So he looks in awesome form. I’m going to stick my neck out and pick the mighty Aussies to win this unless the rain forces a draw.

Rain washed out play at Drinks in the afternoon session of Day 4. Australia 0/135.

Khawaja now has 5000 Test runs and his average as an opener, presently 62.10, is the highest all-time for an opener who has opened in at least 20 innings.

I placed 2x $20 bets on Australia to win after day 3 when the odds were $5.50.

Just cashed one of them out for $54.50, so if England go on to win or it's a draw, I'm still in front but if Aus win I get another collect of $110.

Who thinks Australia v England is like Collingwood v Carlton.

Collingwood are Australia and Carlton are England

Looks like around 45 overs (3 hours) to chase another 140, very doable but you just know we’ll lose early wkts, might be a tense 3 hours ahead.

If we get on top England will slow the over rate to a crawl, spirit of cricket and all that.

Play to begin in 5 minutes

2.5 hours, need to score 3.5 per over but with the chance of showers after 6pm local probably need to go at over 4, strap in.

I think we’ll have a crack, lose 2 early wickets and we’ll probably play for the draw, we win the series with a draw

Under 60 needed.

Carey 26*, Murph 14*.

Poms win by 49 runs.

Series: 2-2.

Australia lost their last 7 wickets for 70 in 21.1 overs. Dismal ending. By comparison, Engalnd lost its last 7 wickets for 173 in its second innings - the inept second innings batting of the Australian tail cost victory.

Most runs in the Series for Australia:

Special K - 496
Bradsmith - 373
Head - 362
Marnus - 328
Warner - 285
Marsh - 250
Carey - 200

Defensive technique is an art, too, of course. Special K faced 1,263 balls in the Series but the next best were Marnus 698 and Bradsmith 665.
