Rain ensured that an English win can all but be ruled out as a possibility but with two days play remaining in the Test, Australia can still dictate terms at Old Trafford in Manchester where the fourth game of the Ashes is being played. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog from 8pm AEST.
After latest edition of Steve Smith’s torment had managed to help Australia piled on nearly 500 batting first, England looked like they had calmed the home team fans’ nerves through Rory Burns and Joe Root.
Burns, who was unbeaten overnight and Root, who walked out to bat at the fall of the night watchman, Craig Overton’s wicket, steadied the ship and held firm for nearly 53 overs.
In doing so they seemed to have taken the hosts towards that first target of safety but Josh Hazlewood’s continuous questions got the better of both of them in successive overs.
First to go was Burns after a well-compiled 81, edging an away-going ball to the slips, but the bigger wicket was that of the captain Root. Now Root’s lack of 100s has been well-chronicled, but the more important aspect of his dismissal was its timing.
With Jason Roy batting at an unfamiliar position of number four – five if you count the night watchman – and struggling at that, and with the new ball not too many overs at that stage, it would have worked greatly in England’s favour if their captain could have pushed on and got that elusive three-figure score.
Instead, he fell in the 67th, and Roy, whose defenses have been tested time and again this series, saw his stump sent packing by Hazlewood after a 33-ball essay at the crease.
What would trouble England even more was that eight balls later, the day was called off, and when they resume on the fourth day, the pair of Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow would have six overs to get their eyes in before they face the second new ball.
Add to that the fact they are still 98 away from the follow-on mark, and they cannot really force a win from here on, Australia would really relish the situation. The big question is if England can bat deep enough to render the final day to that of just academic interest or if there’s something to watch out still.
