Here we are at the Oval for the fifth and final test match of the Ashes series and Australia would seem to be in a dominant position with a score at the start of the fourth day of 277-2 in reply to England’s 373 all out.
But the Australians still have a lot to do in order to win this match. They are still trailing by about 100 runs and so would need to be scoring another 300 runs in this innings in order to get a decent total in which to bowl England out in.
I think it will ultimately come down to a lack of time to finish the job, what with the interruptions by the weather. But there is still a lot of cricket to be played here in the final two days so anything could happen.
