Archer yes, but why Leech? I dont rate his bowling at all, I would give Rashid a chance, at least he has a lot of variations.

Not convinced Rashid is fully fit, think he was carrying that shoulder injury and managing it well in the world cuo

So much negativity on here. England should be able to see out the draw. Lyon's a good bowler but aint Warne or Murali. This is a slow pitch as well so plenty of time to see the ball. Aus wont declare till they have a 400 lead at least, we're way off that.

It’s not negativity mate. It’s dispassionate observation based on the context of England’s current Test performances. The fact that you’re suggesting that there is hope of a draw as a good thing at a ground we usually win at sort of backs it up as well. Aus will be very happy with a draw here to start off going on to a ground which has been very good hunting for them. Not to mention the shape of the match has been almost carbon copy of the last series, Smith looks just as formidable and England have no idea how to deal with him, except it’s happening at home

Thankfully the multi TV sports bar I’m in isn’t showing this. Can’t be arsed watching the Aussies pile on the runs. Pitch probably isn’t doing much but I bet baldy Lyon causes us problems fourth innings. Moeen has been poor
