Aussies pass 250 with just 4 wickets down. Lead beyond 330 runs. Head on 136* after the Poms dropped him. No need to push. Just keep on batting.

Brilliant by Head and Carey.

Stokes not bowling.
Archer looks like he can't go the distance again and again.

Need to give them at least 4 sessions to bowl then out IMO. Once the lead is 500+ we should be good if we can get it that high.


More disappointing failures from Labuschagne and Green. I'd swap them straight out for Smith and Webster.

It’s a tough gig carrying Nathan Lyon 🤣🤣🤣

I stand corrected at this point in time

I've just seen 3 wickets from Lyon and am loving my humble pie.

He's just sealed the series.

Aussies 2nd inns  349 ..... Head 170, Carey 72

Eng  6/207 ..... Cummins and Lyon with 3 wickets each.

Eng need 228 runs and Aussies obviously 4 more wickets on the last day.

Done a hammy
And now we can see how much he’s missed
Travis Head isn’t the option
