The English pace-battery could not have hoped for better support from the batting department. The fast bowlers are well rested and have runs enough in their kitty to be extravagant. Australia’s greatest nemesis, James Anderson, will be running in with the new ball in the fourth innings.

The threat will be exaggerated by the magnitude of the target, and if he provides a few initial blows, we might get some rest on day five. Reverse swing has not set in as early as it did at Trent Bridge in this match as the surface is less abrasive but he will be making the best use of it when available.
