I'm not so sure Luke, any further loss of play due to the weather will really make the chances of a draw very likely. Australia must up the run rate as they are still behind in their first innings and only 2 days left. Ponting may take a gamble and declare with only a small lead at tea tomorrow. That will give them a go at the English openers before the end of play tomorrow and then resume on the last day. If they do bowl England out it could be an exciting finish seeing Australia chasing a smallish total with very little time to get the target.
Definitely a good toss to have won for England.
