    Well done Joe Root. Massive for England over the years, and finally gets the Ashes ton in Australia.

    Would Carey be the best glove man in cricket? Incredible keeping today.

    Australia trying to waste time.

    Root and Archer taking advantage.

    England pass 300 and it won't be easy to rein in.

    Ponting on 7 is an excellent listen.

    323 runs in a day is good going.

    Especially from 73 overs

    Yup, they went on and on about how stupid it was that England didn't declare at 9 down lol, Brendan Julian and David Warner being the worst culprits.

    Ponting on 7 is an excellent listen.

    Whist I always admired him as a batsman, I didn't warm to him as a player or captain (though I guess i would have if he'd been English), however as a pundit and comms man he's shown a much more human side of himself and provides interesting and thoughtful analysis on the play. One of my favourite cricket pundits to listen to.

    lots of chat about a changing of the rules re slow over rate on twitter but i don't know what they're referring to - any suggestions?

    How is it possible or acceptable for a professional team to bowl 74 overs in 6.5 hours?!

    Forget WTC points: start penalising runs.

    That will make them shift.

    Whatever the result of the match, we won't have to see Hayden with all his kit off. That's the real bonus for both sides here.

    Delighted for Joe Root. An utter gent and one of the greatest batsmen of all time.

    Mitch Starc excels again with the pink ball. England really struggled with his pace.

    There's been some great Aussie Glovemen over the years, but Alex Carey is one of the very best.

    Australia's mean first innings score at the Gabba in the last decade is 400+ so England are still at least 80 runs short.

    The slow pace Australia got through the overs is shameful. Someone needs to censure Steve Smith (again).

    Probably that to get over rate penalties the innings must be longer than 80 overs. So if England are bowled out quickly tomorrow morning the Aussies are fine.
