This may sound crazy, but i still wouldn't rule out an England win. Australia need to win, if England pass the follow on score so Australia have to bat next they will have no option but to declare with a relatively low score to allow enough time to bowl England out. I still think it will be a draw, mainly because of the weather, but all results are still possible.

Looking at the weather l think a draw is certain myself as this afternoon onwards till late tomorrow looks like a total write off.

If England can get the lead below 150 I think they're safe even if the weather doesn't turn nasty

Chasing more then 300 in the 4th innings is a considerable feat.:nono:

Would have to be nearly 4 an over just couldn't see that. Weather will be the winner anyway. As an aside I can obviously understand it but England's slow play today was a joke.
