England trail Australia by 61 runs at the end of the fourth day's play. So far, Australia have collected 214 runs in which they have already lost five wickets. Marnus Labuschagne played a crucial innings for Australia before being dismissed. Marnus Labuschagne's innings of 111 runs has managed to bring the team to a good level. There is only one day left of the fourth Test, that is, the win, loss or draw of the match depends on this one day. Australia still have five wickets in hand if Australia can build a good partnership and get through the day somehow then the result of this match will be a draw. But I personally think the chances of this match being a draw is very low. England are leading in this match so far. If England can pick up two quick wickets early in the fifth day then this match will be easy for England.

England is on one side and the Rain & Australian team are playing on the other side. I wonder if this test match ends in a draw and it would be Rain who comes to the rescue of the Aussie team. Well, its still time (one whole day) left in the match and if we happen to get 80+ overs then England might still win but we can't say anything with surety at the moment.

Let's suppose there is no rain interruption today, Australia still trail by 64 runs and they have 5 wickets in hand only. They need to bat and survive the first two sessions today in order to save this test match.

Rain can be a blessing for some teams and a curse for others in the fourth Test between Australia and England. England had a good chance of winning this match without the rain, but because of the rain, they may lose this match. Rain on the fifth day may not have been expected by England fans. England fans might have wanted to witness another Test match win for England but the rain might have prevented them from doing so. Had the game been played early on the fifth day, there would have been a chance of an Australian all-out, but due to the rain, play has not been played so far, which may have left the match inconclusive, and if the rain subsided very quickly and the outfield was prepared for play, England would have a chance to win the match.

England cricket fans will definitely want the weather to clear and the game to get underway quickly in the fourth day of the Test match between Australia and England. But here it can be said that Australia's luck is very good because England could have easily won but unfortunately it didn't happen. As we watch T20 matches or ODI matches with attention but we often feel boring when we watch Test match but England vs Australia match was so captivating. We watched the T20 game with pleasure, the test series of Australia vs England was a very exciting game. Now it remains to be seen which team luck favors but we who are cricket fans definitely want the rain to stop soon and the test match starts on the field.

India is batting on the second day of West Indies vs India, 2nd Test match. India batted first and scored 438 runs, and West Indies scored 255 runs after losing their entire first innings. While India had taken a huge lead, the West Indies lost an entire wicket before reaching that target and trailed by 183 runs. But India are batting in 2nd innings today they have done great performance they have lost one wicket at the moment. But currently India's batsman Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal are two skilled players at the crease and their pair is excellent. Yashasvi Jaiswal is definitely likely to score a century today if he can put up a great batting performance in the game. At the moment, India has given a lead of 281 runs and if the game reaches the end, it will give a double lead of more runs today.

The 4th Test is very lucky for Australia as the fourth day's play is suspended for the entire session due to rain and the weather forecast for the 5th day is unlikely to start before lunch. If this continues then there is no chance of starting the game today and it can be said that the game will be a draw due to rain in Australia.

The match is played in England and the rain God's are favoring Australia, i placed a bet on England to win without checking the weather conditions for the last two days and i had to cash out once the 4th day's play was washed out, if not England would have won the match and levelled the series. It is really disappointing that the rain is disrupting the final day as well and there is no signs of play to resume and a lucky day for Australia.

Australia is getting really lucky in this match. They were Certainly going to lose. England is certainly going to be very angry and also disappointed with this. There was no way England should have actually not won the match. I also believe that the neutral fans who actually follow test cricket only because of the Ashes series are also going to be very disappointed with this. Test Cricket is already dying. Ashes are the only thing that was keeping this format alive. And now, if this happens, people might actually lose interest from test matches, even from the Ashes series.

At the moment, India has given a lead of 281 runs and if the game reaches the end, it will give a double lead of more runs today.

The way West Indies started their innings, everyone expected the team to score at least 350 runs. But West Indies lost all wickets and collected only 255 runs. It was unexpected. The team played very badly in the first match. In the second match, the performance of their top order was slightly better, but the team managed to score only 255 runs.

On the other hand, India started their second innings well. But after losing the first wicket for 98 runs, they lost the second wicket to collect just 4 runs. Jaiswal scored 38 runs and Rohit Sharma returned to the fold with 57 runs off 44 balls. We don't know why Rohit Sharma has batted like this in T20 matches. The team expects a more responsible performance from an experienced batsman like Rohit.

In every test match played around rain had interrupted. The match which is supposed to be a win for England finally ended in a draw. If England have got two complete sessions they could've won the match. Now the match between India and West Indies have interrupted by rain. West Indies started the innings good, but the same didn't continue today. Mohammad Siraj had bowled well and taken 5 wickets which have increased the chance of winning. Now rain have interrupted and the play is getting delayed, which could be an advantage for the West Indies team.

Lucky Aussies!
I really think England has been the stronger team overall in this series. It just doesn't fair for Australia to win like this. Such a fantastic series should not be decided in this manner! BTW! I do think we can blame England for losing the first two tests. The weather has always played a part in cricket, and it's something that's been there from the beginning. Why they just can't consider add an extra day, just in case, match caused by bad weather?

Every match in this series was very competitive. The teams played very well in every match. Australia won the first two matches. And in the third match, England made a wonderful comeback. England's batting in the first innings of the fourth match impressed everyone. England made a huge collection of 592. And England were undoubtedly in complete control of the match. However, the England team could not win the match due to the delay due to rain. The match was a draw. And Australia is still leading the series 2-1. England has to win the last match in any way if they don't want to lose the series.

This 4th test was looking very easy win match for England but very bad luck that the rain interrupted and give benefit to Australia to retain this ashes series. Rain was in the favor of Australia and the Aus team will be enjoying this series win. If we look back to the 4 matches then England's performance was so weak in the first two matches. They start recovery from the 2nd inning of the 2nd match but Australia made a high score and they could not able to win. Anyway, This series was so interesting and I never enjoyed test matches before.

west indies performance is very weak throughout this series and they are struggling against India. WI out from the world cup because of bad performance and they still are in the same position. Rain now stops and I hope this test will end in a result that is obvious that India will win the match as well as the Series

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

The 5th test match will be enjoyable if England manage to win this test match. Day 4 has ended, only 30 overs have been played today.

Australia is going to retain the Ashes no matter they win or loss the 5th match. It's England's bad luck that they had to accept a draw for the rain. I had a bet for Australia to win the series by 4 - 1 and lost it LOL

Now the match between India and West Indies have interrupted by rain. West Indies started the innings good, but the same didn't continue today. Mohammad Siraj had bowled well and taken 5 wickets which have increased the chance of winning. Now rain have interrupted and the play is getting delayed, which could be an advantage for the West Indies team.

Studying the weather, I think India should declare with the lead of 340 to 350 runs. In this Test we may see rain will play a major role. So far rain played well though.

Lucky Australia team, fourth day of the match ended with the play taking place for the last session. This is a big disappointment as England weren't able to take wickets. If they had taken few wickets it could've been a happy moment for them. In these kind of match situation surely rescheduling is a must. The match which is supposed to be an easy win gonna end in a draw will surely make cricket followers lose interest on watching test matches. If this match gets the result in favour of England, the final test match will be very interesting and both the teams will try to win the match which will be the deciding match of the Ashes Series.

The only option left for England now is to draw the series. There is nothing wrong with England performance in 4th test. The match ended in a draw because of 2 days of continuous rain. The pressure is now on England as a draw or loss in final test will cost them the series. With this draw Australia will retain the ashes but they defiantly are not favorite for the last test. England performance in last 2 matches clearly proved that they are as good as any other side.

Really sad to see a draw today. England must be feeling so bad right now considering that they can't do anything now despite having played so nicely in this match. Now best is drawing this ashes. But I think somehow England are themselves at the fault too considering the first two matches, they unnecessarily made fool of themselves when they had real chances of winning those matches as well. But anyhow a great competitive circlet to watch honestly.

Australia is ahead due to winning two matches in this series. 4th match ended with a draw, If England win the match they could have level the series. But the current situation will not be less competitive in any way. Because Australia has a chance to win the series by wining the last match while England will definitely want to limit the series loss to a draw. Anyway, we will see an end to this series on the 27th July. Provably the series is more likely to be a draw.

India should've added little more runs. The team have declared the innings at 181/2 and this have given a target of 365 runs for West Indies to win the match. They have started the second innings and reached 76/2 by the end of day 4 of the match. More 289 runs to be scored and the same makes it tough for West Indies based on the first innings performance. However they have the ability and if West Indies play real test cricket then it would be a close fight.

289 more runs to be collected on the fifth day which is quite impossible for West Indies. If no session is played due to rain, it is impossible for West Indies to draw or win the second Test match. West Indies were all out for 255 in their first innings but have fallen by two wickets for 76 so far in the second innings. However, if the West Indies can make two big partnerships on the fifth day, then it can be said that something is possible for the West Indies. However, if Mohammad Siraj and Ashwin perform well, it will be impossible for West Indies to win or draw. However, in several Tests I have seen, the second innings does not perform very well.

Due to the Rain, Australia and England 4th test match ended in a dismal tie. In the first innings England scored an astounding 592 runs opposed to Australia score only 317 runs completely dominating the match by England. Australia was at 214 for the loss of 5 wickets in the second innings. England must win this 4th match to avoid falling short and level the series but Despite their outstanding performance they were unable to earn a victory. Because of the major setback caused by the weather delay, England supporters are now aiming for a decisive outcome in the final 5th match.

In my opinion this is exactly the run that West Indies are targeting. Maybe India has a plan. You see West Indies were 229/5 on day 3 but lost 5 wickets for 26 runs on day 4. West Indies need 289 runs to win and they have already lost 2 wickets. Indian bowlers will bowl West Indies all out before 250 runs. West Indies batsmen have very little patience at the crease. India will win the series 2-0. Is this Test series actually organized to bring the India players back into form or is this series organized as a consolation after the Test champions lost to Australia in the final?

[3kpk3]

The pressure is now on England as a draw or loss in final test will cost them the series. With this draw Australia will retain the ashes but they defiantly are not favorite for the last test. England performance in last 2 matches clearly proved that they are as good as any other side.

What are you talking about? There is no pressure on England or Australia in the final test because it's a dead rubber match which was why so many England fans were praying for a favorable outcome in the 4th test.

it tough for West Indies based on the first innings performance. However they have the ability and if West Indies play real test cricket then it would be a close fight.

Lol. What ability? They got decimated by India in the first match and the same thing is happening in this match too. Think!

I would have been happy if India had given a target like 400. Even so, a target of 365 runs is a big enough target on this pitch. West Indies started their innings well. They collected 76 runs by losing 2 wickets. But in the first innings too, although the top order of West Indies performed well, the performance of the lower order players was not good. As a result, this team collected only 255 runs after losing all the wickets. However, West Indies need 289 more runs to win. If the West Indies players cannot bat well in the first session of the fifth day, then the team will have to accept a shameful defeat in this match like the first match.

[Minor Miner]

Sri Lanka V Pakistan

The second and final Test match between Sri Lanka vs Pakistan is now underway. Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat. But I will not say that Dimuth Karunaratne's decision was correct. Sri Lanka lost their two wickets very quickly. Sri Lanka lost the first wicket for 9 runs and the wicket of Kushal Mendis for 23 runs. Sri Lanka's collection is 35/2 in 12 overs.

Sri Lanka could not win the first match. Their overall performance was quite poor. Especially the performance of their batsmen was poor. If the team does not get a good performance from the batsmen in the second match as well then Sri Lanka will not be able to win this match as well.

What are you talking about? There is no pressure on England or Australia in the final test because it's a dead rubber match which was why so many England fans were praying for a favorable outcome in the 4th test.

Help what I misunderstood. I also believe the pressure is on England now. If they don't want to lose the series against Australia, they must win the 5th match to draw the series. So, it's understandable to me what this guy was talking about. Would you mind helping me understand why the 5th match is a dead rubber match? No team is under pressure? Well, It could be Australians because even if they lose the 5th match, they won't lose the series. It will be ended as draw series, just like the 2019 Ashes. I don't think England wants to lose the last match to lose the series while they can share the trophy.
