As my Grandfather from Salt Creek (Cowell) on the Eyre Peninsula used to say, “There’s no such thing as too much rain”

That's because there is always **** all rain at Cowell anyway!

Less than average conditions down the road in Liverpool for the golf too....

A bit cryptic for me but thanks to Google I will say they have a song 'No Rain".

Umpires deem the light too bad for any pace bowling. Pity as we are playing them well.

Root and Ali in tandem. Bit of spin and plenty of bounce. Runs are flowing.

As I type Marnus nicks Root through the first slip for 4.

And finally Marnus tons up. Well played.

We trail by 78

England review a terrible decision and it is quite rightly overturned.

Marnus out for 111. Root getting bounce and turn.

64 behind.

Marsh dropped in close by Brook. Root looks the goods.

Watch the Pom media call for a "Reserve" day play if the last day is rain affected and the Aussies pull off a Draw to retain The Ashes.

Lab and Mitchell Marsh very very very well batted- there was enough overs for Australia to be bowled out on day 4
LAB may have saved the Ashes- well done , only a couple of flimsy hook attempts early on, then he mostly DUCKed from then on
Wet day 5 forecast is for heavy rain
Draw looks the most likely result now
This series is perhaps the most enthralling of all Ashes series Ive seen
