Fat lady is warming up.
England need 78 for the last wicket.
England have shown some fight & spirit in this 4th innings but left themselves with far too much to do getting all out for 67 in their first innings. Brain-dead giving away of his wicket by Bairstow. 4 for 48 since lunch.

Credit to Australia who have bowled well throughout this game.
