Riding on Usman Khawaja’s century, Australia were looking to get a big lead on the third day of the Birmingham Test as the left-handed batter was looking prolific. Pat Cummins also contributed with a knock of 38 runs and the pair was on their way to take Australia to a big total. However, Ben Stokes was marvelous with his field placements and that was the root cause of Khawaja’s dismissal. England’s gameplan for the tail-enders also worked and Australia were wrapped up on a total of 386 by the end of the first session.
England's openers accumulated 26 runs from seven overs in response before rain interrupted the proceedings. It caused a break in the game and the scenario was soon to change. When the game commenced again, there was a heavy cloud cover in the skies and the overcast conditions were helpful for pacers. Scott Boland and Pat Cummins then showcased an impressive spell of fast bowling reducing the opposition to 28/2. The rain halted the play once again but it was called off for the day after the umpires inspected the pitch.
Lovely
Cricket is a funny game... Oh Ben Stokes

Class
Ollie Robinson showing real class by telling a bloke who just made 141 runs to "fuck off" after getting him out. Sportsmanship at it's best. What an absolute bell end!

Where's baz ball☺️
Fascinating
How often and how predictable that the over heads dictate so so much in England..the same placid pitch which was a batters friend becomes a nemesis within a matter of minutes...all due to overhead conditions..always found this aspect so fascinating

The beauty of Test Cricket.
True
This is looking like a draw unless England have a competitive total by tea tomorrow.

Rain predicted on the 5th day, so it's not looking good brev. Shame
