Well this test will at least go into a third day 


Aussies  6/378 .... Weatherald 72, Labushagne 65, Smith 61, Carey 46*.

England  334

Aussies lead by 44 runs.

Some good performances, a 100ish lead from the first innings would be super handy.

Aussies still batting as we get to Tea on Day 3.

Aus  8/450 .... Starc 46*, Boland 7*

A lead of 116 runs.

Aussies 511 all out ..... Starc 77, Boland 21*, Doggett 13.

A lead of 177 runs.


Some crazy odd stats from this:

- 12th time a test team has had all 11 batsmen reach double figures.

- 3rd time Australia has done it and the first time since 1992.

- Doggett's 13 runs is now a world record for the highest lowest score in a test innings.

- Sixth time a test team has scored 500+ without a batsman scoring a century. "Highest being 531 by Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh in 2024. Australia's highest is 520 for 7 vs West Indies in 2009 at WACA"

- First time two indigenous Australians have batted together in the test side. Boland and Doggett's partnership was 20 runs.
