  END OF INNINGS: ENG 330 all out lead of 298
  
  Stuart Broad didn't last long (13) as he gets a bouncer from Harris and becomes his 6th wicket as Smith takes the catch.
  Bresnan gets c&b Harris for a useful 45 and Jimmy Anderson goes for 0 to Lyon, and another catch for Haddin to end the innings...
  Swann's 30 makes the lead a little better, and a lead that England will probably be happy enough with.
  
  Leading by 298, is this enough... Well it has to be doesn't it.. and if the England bowlers can do what the Aussies have this morning then it will be an interesting 15 minutes before lunch...

  You'd have to say that England, on this pitch, should be favourites to win.
  
  Go on lads, let's have a quick one before lunch.

  The Aussies go to lunch for 11-0, so no early breakthrough..
  
  As lunch progresses, the rain starts and the covers are brought on, but it looks like just a passing lashing, so play may well be on it's way soon enough. There'll probably be more interruptions throughout the day, so England need a wicket or two to calm the nerves.

  DAY 4 TEA: AUS 120-1 need 179 to win Warner57 & Khawaja 6
  
  Not a very productive session for England as just the 1 wicket of Chris Rogers who was caught at slip on 49, after putting on 109 with Warner.
  The Aussies are well and truly in the driving seat now, if we get uninterrupted play till the end of the day, it should see them needing less than 100 tomorrow.
  Surprisingly the English bowlers have been ineffective, a few close calls for sure, but they need to find something and find it fast...

  Khawaja's just gone lbw from Swann on 21. Hopefully that'll kick them in to gear.
  
  Aussies are now 152-2. 147 needed for the win.

  And Warner's gone! 71, a good innings, but a big wicket which might have a big say on the outcome of this match. Bowled by Bresnan, caught by Prior.
  
  Australia now 168-3, needing 131 to win. Tense.

  and now Broad bowls the captain Clarke and at 174-4 it's still all to play for with 2 new batsmen at the crease, this should re-invigorate our bowlers to give that little bit extra.
  Tense, it certainly is Scotty... another 125 needed for the Aussies.

  And Smith's gone as well! Bowled by Broad on just 2 runs!
  
  Has this just turned in our favour?
  
  Australia 175-5. 124 needed for the win. Let's have another wicket before close of play.

  They've only bloody obliged!
  
  Bresnan takes Watson's wicket lbw. Just 2 runs for him as well.
  
  Australia now 179-6! Have they fucked it again?

• RE: ASHES 2013: FOURTH TEST - Chester le-Street

  RussyRover > 12/08/2013, 18:36

  Looks like they heard you Scotty as it's now 179-6 as Watson is caught lbw by Bresnan, and the review stays with the umpires initial decision so from what seemed like a desperate time for England has turned into a party mood...
