Game evenly poised with England 168-4. Malan needs to go on to a big score. Best time to bat at the Wacca.
The Stoneman dismissal was poor. Given not out by the on-field umpire and there really wasn't sufficient evidence to overturn it.
Haven't seen it Strolls, but they're now saying on TMS that there is an angle that may support the eventual decision but don't know if third umpire saw that angle!!!!!!! 3 overs until the new ball.......gulp
I think the third umpire sees what we see on the TV, in which case he couldn't be sure which hand the ball hit. Excellent innings by Malan, let's hope he and Bairstow can see it through to the close.
Cracking effort from Malan & Bairstow, now rest up and go again tomorrow. If we can bat 2 sessions then we've given ourselves a chance........
Just watched the highlights. I didn't know how the day had panned out after I'd left for work. Fantastic from Malan and Bairstow, particularly Malan getting his first test century. England's best day of the series so far. Simply must go on and get at least 450 now. Well done boys!
After a good start today England have collapsed again, from 368-4 to 389-8, that might just let the Aussies back into the game. Ali out for a disappointing duck after Malan's excellent 140...
From 368-4 to 403 all out isn't good enough I'm afraid. Our tail is pretty awful. Must get Smith out before he gets past 40.
That was a terrible collapse. I watched from the start, but turned it off and went back to sleep when Moeen got out. He looks totally out of form with both bat and ball.
