Expect us now to get to 400 and then go the smash before putting the Poms in for an hour before stumps.

Aussies declare at 9/473.

Our tail went the smash. Starc 39* (39), Neser 35 (24), Richardson 9 (3).

Now the Poms have to face an hour or more of a new pink ball under lights.

England 4/82 at Stumps.

Richardson with 2 wickets, Neser 1 and Starc 1.

One word for the last 5 minutes of Starc's bowling to Root ...... Ouch!

[Andyy]

Starc having a good series, don't care what anyone says about him being finished.

8 wickets so far at 21.25.

Averaging something like 46 with the bat.

He's a leader IMO.

Eng 6/142 at the Dinner break.

Only a few overs to the next new ball.



By the way, no change to the Australian squad for the Boxing Day Test.

Eng 8/180 at Tea.

Curious that a ball that hits your pad barely halfway up is bouncing over the stumps but anyway.

Game over. Aussies win by 275 runs  .

Richardson with a 5-for.

Aussies up 2-0.

Bring on Boxing Day!
