so it'll be interesting if England's batting line-up show a bit of resolve once they're in.

But, but, run rate.....

Australia dropped to 4.5RPO

Tsk, tsk...

This is ideal from Australia's point of view. Cook the fragile English bowling attach further, then Starc with a new pink ball under lights.

He’s gonna get a hundred today

I’m pretty impressed with him actually, interviewers compared him to Wasim Akram and he was having none of it. Very modest

NTA

Starc has faced 135 balls - second only to Root this match

NTA

He’s gonna get a hundred today

Fuck you bloody!

NTA

Doggett to try and give Mitch time to shower and get a massage.

Sorry

Innings ends on 511.

TBH could have been a lot more if Green and Smith didn't decide to fail hard.

Starc needs another 700ish runs to go past Warne for most test runs without a ton.

NTA

England survive unscathed to the end of the session and pile a few runs on while they're at it

NTA

TOOL ARE VERY LOUD

sparky

Australia now in total control of this match now and scenting English (or players who play for England's) blood.

An innings victory is a possibility.

NTA

England 3 down for -70

@NTA If Australia can get Root and Brook both out quickly, it will be night-night for England.

NTA

Root gone.

Now let's see

NTA

5 for -54

NTA

Smith burns a review, but why not?

6 for -43

Stokes is still there. Nothing is decided yet in terms of an innings victory.

We go to a 4th day I guess. Unless a quick wicket causes the umpires to rethink?

sparky

England take it to a 4th day. But they still need 43 runs to make Australia bat again.

This series is very one-sided indeed.

Australia are better team.

Then there's daylight

Then there's more daylight.

Then more daylight.

Then there's England.

NTA

@sparky and they've done this so far without Cummins of Hazlewood in either game, and Lyon for this test.

Their 2-2 result against India, and India getting whitewashed by the Proteas, puts a few things into perspective.
