Oz still well ahead but those moments of madness from Head and Green against bloody Root has cost them an unassailable position. Pity Smith didn't go big

Yeah. But 400 on that deck should be a huge score.

Anyone else lose connection on the 9 app or just me? No worries if I wanna watch my favourite Martian tho

Need an early wicket today - Lyon is a series changer imo. If we win the series and Lyon is out for more than the remainder of this and one more, we will hve done something very impressive!

Is there a second spinner on the tour?

 

[DeanS]

"Is there a second spinner on the tour?"

Todd Murphy.

Murphy? Any regular shield watchers thoughts?

 

[Scatter]

Murphy is pretty good, he outperformed Lyon in at least one Indian test.

I'm really enjoying the (admittedly shitty) British media savaging their own team whenever Bazball fails to beat up a mediocre opponent. The idea that they had somehow solved test cricket by playing a T20 style seemed so ludicrous that the schadenfreude is really something.

Let's not get too cocky ourselves - going to be hard to win this game without Lyon and whilst Bazball isn't a miracle worker it'll good as ensure a result happens.

A very nice 91 run first innings lead and plenty of time to build a good second innings total if we are good enough.

We have our noses in front and need to play it calm from here in this match. England are going to have to make the running if they want to win this match.

Todd Murphy will be an adequate replacement for Lyon.

Might be an over reaction but if that calf is bad it could be the beginning of the end. These things always happen quicker than we think

 

[greatgatsby]

Travis Head might be good enough to deal with their tail and we can play 5 quicks … just kidding, I think.

 

[mattis117]

What about this weather. It's actually insane how it's been cloudy every time we bat and sunny every time they bat. Yet we're still winning.

Murphy is pretty good

I still have Australia as slight favourites this test and series with Lyon out

Slight favourites? They are 126 runs ahead with 10 wickets in hand to go 2-0 up in the series...

And Australia doesn't have Lyon who is one of the best bowlers in the world taking up an end with the pace bowlers rotating through the other.

The part-timers are good enough to mean we dont lose all spin options. Would take an incredible effort from England from here

I guess I just expect more from England

It's like they are underperforming.

Weather, pitch and ball all English yet they aren't handling the conditions as good as Australia.

 

[Nodgey]

This hasn’t been scheduled as a day/night test, so why play under artificial light? This isn’t ideal for the Australian batsmen. I’d be spewing if I got out in these conditions.

Yes, agreed. Khawaja had a few misses but survived. I feel he could go on for a big innings.

Just shows how strong mentally he is.

 

[Stinky Lomax]

I read somewhere.

So far Australia are playing chess & England are playing Hungry Hungry Hippo.

That was a catch, it’s a stupid rule because if Starc throws it up in the air before the slide (which some players do), then it would have been out.

 

[ImperialPurple]

That’s shameful. They should call him back. IMO.

Edit: thought about it and changed my mind. No match awareness. Just wait for the umpire to call it. Silly Jonny.
