Got to have enough time to bowl them out, will Swann be the key player if the ball stops swinging?

Yeah, we do have another innings so I think we might declare at lunch. Maybe a run-a-ball 30 or so from Swann?

4th Ashes Test (day three, stumps): Australia 98 & 169-6 v England 513 (Trott 168 no)
The Aussies still 246 runs adrift of the tourists to make England bat again.

Should be finished by lunchtime tomorrow. As Vaughan said on 5Live this morning it would be disappointing if we didn't win the series now, it will be a missed opportunity if we don't. He said 3-1 expecting a result in Sydney, but i'll take 2-1!

I stayed up all night to watch the game, it was quite excellent. I was hoping we may have won the test last night but it wasn't to be. As Tom says, it should be finished by lunchtime, Aussie lunchtime of course. After that I can get back to sleeping at the proper time of the night, not going to bed at 9am!

I ducked out at drinks between lunch and tea, but then didn't sleep properly until at least 6.30! Glad of an earlier finish tonight. Excellent stuff!

Two lop-sided innings so far. Australia made nearly as many runs for the last five wickets as they did for the first five. England have already more than doubled their score from the fall of the fifth wicket for the loss of just two more.
