    The interesting thing is this Australian lineup is that it is about as 'fragile' as an Aussie side ever gets at home.

    No Smith or Hazlewood, some soft top order shots, and currently they can't dislodge Stokes and Archer. Yet are still ahead in the game by a long way (for now)...

    Opening with both Boland and Lyon this morning has slight waiting for the new ball vibes.

    Archer over Boland probably - but neither are displacing a fit Hazlewood...

    Matt Henry competitive with Boland for us, but not Hazlewood.

    I would be asking him if he could get me the hamburger he was describing in the break

    Eng will be happy if they can reduce that deficit below 100 from where they were

    @bayimports Will give them a tiny window to win - a somewhat better chance of a draw.

    Both still pretty slim chances in my book. With Lyon vs Jacks and bowling last, Oz appear to have the trump card.

    think they are a spin bowler short myself

    Thata boy Archer, absolutely carrying England this match. Crawley, Duckett, Pope, take note of how your best bowler has shown you how to bat in a test match.

    Starc steps up, Stokes's bowled just as I was idly wondering about the deficit really shrinking

    Archer goes for 51, that's a hell of a knock from him given the circumstances. Has given England an absolute sliver of hope, but, they're going to have to fucking roll the Aussies on a very good batting pitch, so still almost no chance unless Archer can really fire up.

    Arguably England's best couple of sessions of the series, simply by virtue of showing a bit of guts.

    I can't believe he didn't review that. As a left hander, if I had the benefit of DRS I would have reviewed every single LBW from a right arm over the wicket bowler unless it hit me on the full.

    Not as good as yesterday but call it a pass mark. Good call I think to take 20 overs at them.
