Lyon pounces on ball heading for rope. Not bad for that senior cit!

 

Starc wide, Duckett 4.

 

Come on Aussies. Need a wicket to get this interesting.

 

Good session for England. First one we've won.

 

Made it to lunch unscathed..... Good morning work by England

Now need to win afternoon session....

 

I reckon you're right there Stroller. We need at least three wickets in this next session to break even now.
Four will give us the edge.

 

Nicely up with required run rate

 

Scared to say anything

 

Drinks break - England bossed that half-session.

Let's keep this going lads.

 

Crawley throws it away.

 

Just as we had them wobbling, Crawley gifts them his wicket after doing all the hard work.

 

Shame about Crawley, but definitely England's session again. Win the third one and we're right in this game.

 

Not sure I agree, but the bookies have England as slight favourites at this stage.

 

125/1 in the session..... good stuff.... shame about Crawley, bit prone to brain farts, but Pope has just continued where Crawley ended....

Win the 3rd session and finish on 270/280 for only a couple down, right back in the game.....

 

Mad stat of the day......

Since his return to Test Cricket Duckett has faced 800 odd deliveries and left just 8 of them!!!!!

 

Lyon crocked. Oh dear.

 

Daft from Pope, another wicket given away

 

Just let them go. We'll get them in no-balls.

 

There you go chaps. Luck on your side this innings.

 

No excuse for bowling no-balls.
