Great afternoon session, Creepy and Root on the charge
Summary
- Root bowled by Hazlewood for 84 off ball that kept very low
- Crawley bowled by Green for majestic 189 off 182 balls
- Crawley & Root put on 200 stand
- England hit 178 runs in 25 overs in second session
- Australia, who lead series 2-1, dismissed for 317
Stayed until the end, 1.30am for me, but as I am retired have only just got up.
Root and Crawley majestic. Brook very subdued for him. Very enjoyable days viewing. But not for the Aussies I assume.
As good a 200+ partnership as you will ever see.
A dazzling array of on and off drives, cuts and pulls by both and numerous quick singles to
keep the scoreboard ticking - and leave the Aussies totally bewildered!
Last wicket partnership of 66. Commentators expected England to declare at lunch, or when Broad was out.
I looked at the weather radar and the best hope for play is early afternoon today and after about 4 tomorrow. 6 wickets,can we do it?
Only took one wicket so the equation
England need 5 wickets and to knock of the small total if Australia get ahead - Australia need to survive and are doing a rain dance
