Yes, I've just posted the Cricinfo Report in BE's General "Locker Room" section. What an amazing result!

I was up til stumps last night watching the only series that matters. I'm shattered, but going to do it all again tonight. What a sport, take my hat off to smithy, that must've been intense

It's a great test especially considering Australia and England are both not really that good and are 2nd string test cricket (the real, only, form of the game) nations ATM

Edgbaston is such a great test cricket ground where England are hard to beat. The atmosphere looks great - although the barmy army are getting boring and need to get some new shit

What a game. If Australia carry on like this, they can win it - which would be an achievement considering where they were on the morning of day 1

England collectively look like frightened rabbits for some reason, unable to adapt as usual. This'll go for a draw I think, but the Aussies deserve a win. Their run rate is sensational, but Shey should've declared by now

They definitely need a new spinner - Ali is hopeless

Haha, he was the first thing my son and I have agreed on in years, he was especially awful yesterday. They completely ran out of ideas without Anderson, which is a bit of a sad indictment.

They're definitely missing him. Broad and Woakes bowling okay though

Lack of imagination and resilience, but that doesn't mean I won't be up til 3:30 again watching it . I laughed on day 1 when my wife asked who's winning, brilliant.

It’s not going to last until 3:30.

Indeed. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!

It's a strange test. England haven't really done much wrong (Ali being the glaring exception) yet are on the verge of losing

Two dodgy teams but one has a Smith.

Got to admire the guy, I think he (and Bancroft) was put in a crappy position by a true scrub, Warner.

Roy’s charge on Lyon to be totally beaten and bowled particularly bone-headed given the context.

Warner is poison to that team. I don't think much of Smith as a captain but he's some batsman that's for sure, although this 'best since Bradman' nonsense is a bit premature

Roy needs to understand he's not playing a T20
