Both teams have made one change.

Starc comes in for Boland.

Josh Tongue in for Moeen Ali. England going with a 4-pacemen attack and no full-time spinner.

Aussies 1/73

Khawaja out bowled right on Lunch.

Warner 53*. Brought up his 50 with a six.

Both were dropped. The only thing the Poms caught that session was a pitch invader.

Australians in the Ashes.
Smith is now 49 runs behind Waugh.
ENG will hope he doesn't cross AB in the 2023 Ashes.

Eng 4/278 at Stumps.

Ordinary middle session from Starc and Hazlewood. They were both leaking 7 runs an over.

Lyon could be out of not only the remainder of this test but the whole series too with a calf.

Great start to Day 3 for the Aussies.

England 325 all out.

The Poms lost 6/46.

Starc 3/88, Head 2/17, Hazlewood 2/71, Lyon 1/35 (inj), Cummins 1/46, Green 1/54.

Aussies lead by 91 runs.

Ch9 showed Lyon on crutches and said his future in the series will be assessed at the end of the match. If he's on crutches you'd assume he's out for the entire series.
