A no ball that balloons up into the air for a catch, for maximum humour value.

This is real edge of the seat stuff

[FrankieADZ]

cummings is a puppet captain isnt he, feels like smith is still pulling the strings

[trabuch]

Calm down Broady.

How can stokes hit enough boundaries to get to 371 ?  Almost need to all be sixes aswell! 

[Tommy Fresh]

Remember when Broad was very good with the bat, we'd be cruising this if he still had that ability

[trabuch]

New ball must be fairly soon. Nice to see Starc wearing himself out before it's due.

11 overs and change. Could be within 20-30 (or all out) by the time that gets here.

Another 30 and it’ll be 2005 stuff

[StanSP]

Feels like a bit of calm before the storm... 

[kingkisnorbo]

Headingley was a once in a lifetime innings. There is simply no way...

Runs dried up. Broad might need to take some risks now

I mean 2 runs an over still wins it comfortably. So maybe just being a bit more cautious?

Yeah, England have time on their side here. Don't have to make this in boundaries.

On flip side, dont want to be tied down here. Feel broad has seen enough balls to least be rotating strike for hazelwood overs. 
 

who knows. Pros and cons to anything they do

Not surprised. A few people clearly crossed the line in the long room. Khawaja is pretty laid back and he was fuming.

And Aussie crowds don't sometimes cross the line?

 

Perhaps it's not right, but I'm actually OK with fire meeting fire in this case, if it contributes to a positive result.
