With a bit of luck, England might take this into a 5th day.

Carey is such a good keeper. Some of those hand grenades from Lyon were fizzing past Root's shoulder

If Green takes Root it might not.

Superb delivery from Neser to root

Burns shits the bed against Richardson and now Green is sticking it to Root

Burns out. England royally fucked and heading for another heavy defeat.

Probably celebrating his impending selection over Harris

Saw this quote on the BBC website:-

Time to get this ordeal over with and regroup so as we can plan how we're going to lose the third Test.

I'm starting to think Australia need not have bothered batting again.

Oh that's Root fucked. He got hit in the nuts in warm up today and went for scans.

Starc just cracked him again, right on the Hector protector. He went straight down, groaning...

The big question is has anybody got a MICHELLE yet.

[NTA]

Go back to the hotel and get a couple of bags of frozen peas. You don't have to come out again.

Aus might as well give Lyon a rest next test. No Cummins or Hazelwood has hardly made a difference.

Are they back next test ? I have to say the “passengers” in this Oz team are pretty few and far between especially if they replace Harris with Khawaja.

In other news, this prediction has aged terribly, he must have been on his 20th gin and tonic when he said this……

Burns has one of THE most awkward looking stances I’ve ever seen. Looks completely unbalanced.

We had an ODI guy - Peter Someone, I think - who might have been an opener/wicket-keeper. He looked equally like all coaching manuals had escaped him.

Peter Ingram - even managed to squeak into the test team when he had a golden patch at FC level. No foot movement at all from memory. Not sure he was a keeper though.

Just four wickets for Oz to get now. Should be over before lunch

Meanwhile, Australia have confirmed an unchanged squad for the final three Tests with Cummins and Hazlewood expected to be back for Melbourne.

Butler and Woakes still there at Dinner. Australia have two sessions to take four wickets.
