So probably England team will be able to collect 30-40 more runs. If the match is delayed due to rain, the Australian batsmen will be able to draw the match only if they bat responsibly. But we are not sure if we will see a better performance from the Australian batsmen in the second innings.

Am expecting England to declare pretty quickly since they don't want the match to end in a draw for obvious reasons. Australia should be thankful for rain interference since they have been playing like crap in all departments.

Hazlewood and Starc turned out to be the only decent bowlers while Cummins surprisingly couldn't claim a single wicket and gave away plenty of runs.

Now England leads by 174 runs a huge lead this only possible because Harry broke and Ben Stokes today big Partnership harry broke scored fifty 61 runs and also Ben stokes amazing fifty runs 51 score and help the team to do a big lead of 174 now England score 491 runs is lost of 7 wickets. Australian bowler doesn't perform well Josh Hazlewood picks up 3 wickets including today harry broke wicket and P. Cummins only pick 1 wickte and bold Ben Stokes today. England is now very strong chances 90% to win this test match.

4th Test match of England vs Australia Test series. Australia batted first and were all out for 317 runs. England have batted brilliantly in this Test, so far scoring 506 runs for 8 wickets. So far England have given a lead of 189 runs. Zak Crawley batted brilliantly scoring 189 off 182 balls just missing out on a double century by 11 runs. England have 2 more wickets in hand and I don't think they can score more than 650 runs. If England can score more than 600 runs England will have more chances to win.

It's really good to see England come back in a big way in the fourth Test match. Because I never wanted a team to win a series with one game in hand because this series has always been competitive so I expected this series to be competitive. After bowling Australia out for 317 runs in the first innings, England are batting at 556 runs for the loss of nine wickets in their first innings so far, while England have gained 249 runs over Australia so far.  

At the moment England are scoring above 5.3 against Australia which is what we see in ODI cricket. England created a great chance of victory in the first innings. Unless something goes wrong, this match will be won by England and the fifth match will be the final match of this series.

Still, 2.5 days left so plenty of time in the match if they are thinking of no batting in the 4th inning and it makes sense as the lead is already 250 runs and it's a last pair.

Also, 50-ish overs left today so doesn't matter much, target is to accumulate as many as run and then have a crack with a new cherry for the last 35-45 overs.

Currently, England is batting with the last wicket in hand. I guess they are waiting for Jonny Bairstow to score the century, and then they may declare the innings as they have enough lead already. Oh damn! Anderson is out, and Jonny Bairstow is 99*. Bad luck, man. England's innings ended with 592 runs with 275 runs lead. Zak Crawley was superb with the bat.

After the innings break, it's time for the Aussies to show their strength. I don't think they will have a good lead after a trial this run. Full two days ahead. If England wins the match, they will come back to the series again (which is likely to happen).

Jonny Bairstow 99

Jonny Bairstow took a single from the previous ball to complete 99 runs but sadly James Anderson couldn't help him for his century. However, Jonny Bairstow (99), who is batting in ODI and T20 style, had to finish the innings with runs. However, England has done its job, and has managed to give a lead of 275 runs in the 1st innings. If Australia cannot bat properly in the 2nd innings, then maybe the innings ends before the lead meets the target of 275 runs. But England has done a great performance in the 1st innings, Zak Crawley, Root, Moeen Ali, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow these five batsmen have been able to collect 592 runs in the 1st innings of England.

England team has managed to make a huge collection of 592. But I feel bad for JOnnyBairstow. He could not score a century for just 1 run. Jonny Bairstow was unbeaten on 99 runs. Bairstow was unbeaten on 99 off just 81 balls and England managed to take a huge lead of 275. Australia scored only 317 runs in the first innings. Collecting 275 runs in the second innings will not be easy for Australia. England is more likely to win.

The performance of Australia's bowlers was not good. Every bowler gave a lot of runs. Josh Hazlewood took 5 wickets. And he gave away runs at an average of 4.66. Cameron Green also scored 4.08 runs per over and took two wickets. Apart from these two bowlers, no other Australian bowler had a good performance.

England batsmen done a great job and look like England have now full control over this match. They already with lead of 262 runs and still two days match remain. If Australia out below 400 then it will be easy win for Eng.
Australia top 5 batsmen should stand in patch for long time and try their best to score at least 600 runs. Usman khawaja has ability to score 200 runs but unfortunately doesn't scores in first inining. England will be looking to pick up wickets and fast bowler will bounce ball to force Ausie batsmen do any mistake.

[JSRAW]

29th ton for Virat, loved it! Although he used to be in the lead as far as FAB-4 was concerned but still happy for him. Also, the sword celebration from Sir Jadeja. Possibly one of the finest celebration from batters when he do this.

Both England and India are in a commanding position against their respective opponents so the situation is kinda looking boring to me.

[Bitcoin_people]

In the second test match India managed to score a great score they have lost 4 wickets so far. Their batting performance today is really amazing India batsmen have done their best batting. Virat Kohli in particular reached his target today and scored a century scoring 119 runs off 200 balls. And Ravindra Jadeja is also in great form as he is batting well to score a century scoring 53 runs off 124 balls. The pair were brilliant today and put in a superb batting performance to propel India forward. India is doing well in batting performance so far they have collected 338 runs at the moment with the loss of 4 wickets.

Finally, England's first innings ended with 592 runs. But I regret Jonny Bairstow's unbeaten 99. Jonny Bairstow would have scored another great century in his Test career if the opposite site batsman could have given better support.  

Jonny Bairstow played a brilliant knock of 99 off 81 balls. Australia started their second innings behind England by 275 runs where they managed to score 39 runs for one wicket so far.  

A brilliant first innings batting made the road to victory much easier for England as even if Australia top 400 in the second innings, England will be set a target of just 125 runs. If it is calculated in this way, England is undoubtedly ahead in this match.  
I congratulate the England team for their excellent batting in the first innings.

India is on top in 2nd test match scoring 349 runs and that has only lost his 5 wickets what a batting performance by the india team especially Virat Virat kholi amazing hundred score 121 runs and runs out by Alzarri Joseph. Kholi hundred put india in a leading posting in this text match.
Yashasvi Jaiswal previous match hero is only Managed to score 57 runs and out by bowl of Jason Holder cath taken by Kirk Rahot Sharma missed his hundred only 20 runs short and out by scoring 80 runs by bold by jomel warrican. India will manage to touch the 450 plus runs because two batters Jadeja and kishan are playing.

Just like everyone expect they has done thier job brilliantly same like and fullfill everyone expectations, Now they only things which has to done in order to back into the series is to get much as possible wickets in early on stage because as a result they will get small target to chase down, already thier batter has done thier job by scoring tons of runs one after another, hats off to Z.Crawley who had scored 180+ which really damage opponent moral and after his dismissal momentum Carry on by rest of the batters.
Now English Bowler already took two early important wickets hope they will get them before any big target....

592 runs for the England in the first innings shows how strong the England have managed to secure their place in this test match. I really felt sorry for Jonny Bairstow as he scored 99 runs (remain not out) and could not complete his 100 runs as the England's last batsman James Anderson got out and they went out of players to support him.

Australia have lost 2 wickets for 60 runs and they trail by 215 runs. So you can understand how awkward is the situation for Australians and they have a situation where they may lose this test match by an innings.

That's really bad luck for Jonny Bairstow to be 99 not out.  

England got a massive lead of 275 runs in the first innings, and it puts them in a commanding position at Old Trafford. Now, It's going to be very difficult for Australia to save the Ashes. But, let's hope that Australia can bat through the day.

However, there's some concern about the expected rain over the next 2 days, which might limit the play time. So, a draw could be happen.

[Haunebu]

Bairstow! Damn! The man cannot catch a break. Both he and Kishan played really well down the order. Australia already lost 3 wickets courtesy of the W&W combo(Wood and Woakes) and Marnus is holding down the fort.

Also, India is wasting their time scoring 400+ runs since this particular WI team isn't capable of scoring 300+ runs in my opinion. Valuable points for India though.

England batted in their first innings and gave Australia a huge lead of 275 runs. Australia went into bat in the second innings to complete the trail of 275 runs, they have already lost 3 wickets. However, at the moment Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne can score good runs if he can perform well. Marnus Labuschagne is already batting cautiously as he aims for a half-century. England have been putting in a great bowling performance which has put Australia under some pressure and not being able to add runs due to the fall of their quick wickets. At the moment, Australia needs to collect 167 runs to reach the target of the lead given by England, if they can play the game then Australia can complete the target very soon.

Anderson not doing his mate, Bairstow any favours getting lbw when the latter only needed 1 run for his 100. I don’t think he’ll mind though. ENG are in total control here. AUS face a battle just to make ENG actually have to bat again.

AUS 110-4 (trail by 165)

[Essential10]

Batting in the second innings on the third day of the fourth Test of the Ashes Test series, Australia fell far short of securing the series win. Meanwhile, England got a lead of 275 runs after being all out for 592 runs in the first innings. Jonny Bairstow dramatically missed out on a century by one run. The match is getting out of hand, Australia are still trailing by 162 runs with only 6 wickets in hand. With two more days left in this Test, it can be said that England is on the brink of victory.

Jonny played well for his 99 and was unlucky not to complete his hundred as Anderson got out LBW. But still England got a hue lead in first innings and Aussies are struggling to clear that lead. On stumps day 3, Australia have lost 4 wickets and still trail by 162 runs. If rain didnt interfered for next 2 days then England will be very much in control of this game. Marnus Labuschagne was the only one fighting so far rest there is no notable contribution.

[Sithara007]

It's just unbelievable how the situation changed in a span of few weeks. After the first two test matches, everyone had written off England. But now they are about to get their second consecutive win. Australia is almost done for the 4th test, as they are trailing by 162 runs with just 6 wickets in hand. Unless there is a miracle from the Oz tailend batsmen, it is going to be an innings win for England. And more importantly, going to the 5th test at the Oval, the Poms would be having a clear momentum with them. I have only one thing to say here - Pat Cummins has failed as a captain, and he need to be kicked out.
