  1. England 374 behind with 2 wickets in hand at the close. Can't ever remember watching a test series where both sides have collapsed so easily as soon as they were facing a bit of scoreboard pressure.
  2. Broad went for nought, they are now 101-8, Wood was also caught but it was a no ball. Thing was it was a no ball by a country mile and the umpire missed it, Lord knows what he was watching.
  3. And Buttler quickly follows, 84-6.
  4. Dreadful, first ball he has faced from Johnson and he tries to pull it and only manages to hit it straight to Lyon at deep square leg. England batting like the Aussies did in the last two tests.
  5. 64-4, Root goes in similar fashion to Clarke yesterday, nothing on hotshot but the very slightest of nicks on snicko.
  6. Bell goes for 10 bowled by Siddle, who is bowling well. Probably 6 weeks too late though.
  7. At least it was higher than his series average...
  8. Luckily for England he hasn't needed to be. They've had a few who have struggled but the likes of Root have carried them through.
  9. Cracking ball, England had started well against the seamers too. Lyth actually looking not too bad, leaving plenty of balls alone for a change.
  10. Yep, he looked dead on his feet but somehow finds the energy to keep going. Some cracking tennis.
  11. Bonkers last set. Murray broke right away to go 2-0 up, he then loses 5 on the bounce and holds hus serve for Dimitrov to serve for the match at 5-3. His arse collapsed allowing Murray back in to it and he comes out on top 7-5. Plays Gasquet in the 1/4s.
  12. Murray was a set and a double break down but has managed to claw it back and takes the second set on a tie break.
  13. News earlier said it would be roughly around midnight.
  14. I would sincerely hope that the drinks are free....
  15. Some dismal stuff again from.the Aussies, they were 180-8 with only Mitchell Marsh managing a score. Pat Cummins top scored with 82 as he and Nathan Lyon put on 100 for the 9th wicket. Smith scored 0 with the match drawn.
  16. Saw most of his matches this week but missed this one, no mention at all on the BBC website that Nishikori was struggling. Hopefully he can keep this run of form up, would be great if he can stop this run of defeats against Djokovic before the US Open.
  17. He's been solid all week, but even then I'm shocked that he has bageled Nishikori on a hard court. Murray now guaranteed to be back up to second in the rankings on Monday.
  18. Scotland go down 28-22to Ireland in Dublin, had the lead a few times with Cowan, Pyrgos and Horne scoring tries.
  19. Richie Vernon is only the 5th player to start for Scotland both in the forwards and the backs, the last one was in 1878! Be interesting to see how Blake plays, he could hardly get a game for Edinburgh or Glasgow last season.
  20. Nishikori beat Nadal 6-2, 6-4 with Murray beating Tsonga 6-4, 6-4. Djokovic faces Chardy in the other semi final.
  21. The ATP have announced that the $10k fine he got was the maximum "on site" penalty they could give him. They are saying that the incident is still under review and further sanctions could follow.
  22. Yes, but it's been quite a while. It was originally one course then they bought the land round about and built another 18 holes, but what they did was to split the original course in two so you have a mixture of older more established holes with lots of mature trees, along with the newer holes. Two good courses and it was always in great condition on the 4 or 5 times I played there.
  23. Brilliant win for him, just a pity that as he came on to the last green the announcer called him Sean!
  24. You would think so, with 3 tests against Pakistan and 4 in South Africa to come in the winter they would be better to give him time off. Different if it was a decider but no point in risking him aggravating anything with the Ashes already won. As for the spinner, it's the one thing that England lack at the moment is a top class one. It could be a good idea to give Rashid a try out before they head to the UAE. That would possibly mean dropping Moeen though, and I'd be surprised if that happened.
