They do so as to save the Ashes, an urn they have been desperately clinging to for so long their fingertips have no skin and the nails are ripped from the beds. A fortnight back at Headingley, it was win or bust. There was too much time left at the Test for it to be attracted. England possibly pulled off a, or they were beaten. There will be no adventuresome pursuit, no more Ben Stokes endangering spectators with powerful sixes, as they grab defeat from the jaws of success, no Australians staring blankly into the distance. It'll be all about survival - 98 overs of both over-my-dead-body repulsion of 3 tearaway fast bowlers and a scheming off-spinner who will feel as though he owes his team an Ashes-winning minute. Mere occupation of the crease, rather than trying to win the match, was the size of this job even before the late carnage of Saturday, when England's two highest scorers of the first innings - Rory Burns and Joe Root - were removed from Sunday's equation by consecutive Pat Cummins deliveries. At the stage, England were just two wickets down for fewer runs than the counterparts were on goals at Wembley. A Old Trafford crowd which was treated to some day which was the series in microcosm was silenced by the drama. It was a best hits, except for Stokes. There were instances when wickets tumbled and also the pace bowlers of both sides appeared irresistible. Jonny Bairstow was bowled because Jonny Bairstow is always bowled. His stumps are not a fortress than they are vertical however the hooks at a bowling alley, paying additional time knocked over. Stuart Broad got David Warner since Stuart Broad gets David Warner. Six times in eight innings, Warner's third duck. Broad has created Warner his rabbit - he should be kept by him at a hutch and feed him his lettuce. Because they will constantly taunt Nathan Lyon the England fans taunted Nathan Lyon. From the party rack, cricket equivalent of a nightclub only with stickier floors, it may have been mandatory to put on three layers to the times the sun dipped behind a cloud, but that didn't stop Lyon being mocked each time he grabbed the ball. Lyon might nevertheless be haunted by his Headingley fumble - he hasn't taken - but on the other event within this show that England attempted through a day that was final to violin, it was Lyon who breathed them out. And Steve Smith produced because runs are consistently made by Steve Smith runs. Yes, there were instances when Broad and Jofra Archer were flood England fans with belief, actually to the point which every conversation seemed to stop"when we can just get Smith out". But Smith doesn't get out. Not cheaply, anyhow. And here his sense of occasion failed him. Smith's egocentric love of batting has been that the refusal of a moment of party, whereas the allowance of a mistake or error of decision would have sent Old Trafford, Greater Manchester and the nation into rapture. In fact, since he proceeded through the gears, he demonstrated that he is more than just maddening ticks, umpteen nudges off pay for drives and the pads his footwork has to let. In one Archer over, he played with a short-arm pull like a guy whose arms were operated by a puppeteer, followed that up with a geometry-bending overdue cut to a delivery that was over the leg stump and ended with an overarm burst in a bouncer that might have been a man playing tennis using a skillet. At the frivolity of it he seemed livid with himself, and holed out his lowest score of the series, for 82. The announcement came after, allowing Cummins to provide the one-two mix that floored Burns and Root. Just England haven't been really good at rescuing Evaluation matches. The previous time they batted to save a game Sir Alex Ferguson Smith had to make a Test ton and Sam Curran was only 14. They had to do it frequently. Matt at Dunedin in Auckland and also Steven Finn on the same 2013 tour of New Zealand. Graham Onions in South Africa in 2009-10. Monty Panesar in Cardiff and James Anderson has been a decade back this year if they want Ashes inspiration. To the way the 2005 Australians defied England about the day that thousands were locked outside for something on this ground, they can look. And imagine when they pull it off. A finale at The Oval this summer of all summers genuinely deserves. Analysis and view from the cricket correspondent of the BBC.
