Right now, the Ashes is still on the line, although I really can't see England bat out the day or actually make 253 with 5 wickets in hand - unless Stokes makes a double century or something - now that would be a contest !! So, centuries for Stokes and Pryor - to see a real contest - and risk drawing or even losing this 3rd test, or happy to see our boys wrap it up before lunch ??

I know what I rather see...................haha

To be honest I think that I would prefer to see the Aussies wrap this game up and win back the ashes, but it would be exciting from a competition/spectacle perspective to see England either bat out the day and draw keeping the series alive going into the final two tests. However the likelihood of that happening are very slim considering that Prior isn't in any form and the last two recognised batsman are out in the middle.
