just a hypothetical here not saying there is any chance of happening but say that england all out for under 350. Australia go in and make a good 400-500 score (unlikely) at the end of day 3. Will england bat out or simply try to bat out a draw or go for the win?

i personally would go for the win would rather be the captain who kill aussies not just drew to win

A good solid first day with the Aussies just in front. The pitch looks so flat the Aussies have done well to get 7 wickets, would say England would probably get about 400 and the Aussies SHOULD go out there and try to attack as much as possible!

NF1- i would say England have the confidence to go for the win and probably will, it will be interesting to see how England will go without Jones

My Ashes mood metre - Optimistic (Day 1)
