    I am surprised neither of the Marsh's are playing. I think we will be all out for about 220. The Snail to get a duck.

    England 179-3
    Snail 53 not out

    Well done to Ballance, he has toughed it out and i hope he keeps on proving me wrong.

    Great session for England and hopefully a Series defining one.

    190-3

    Ballance 59* (146)
    Root 93* (110)

    Partnership of 147

    I know this is an early call, but I am going with... "How does it feel to drop the Ashes, Brad?"

    ;-)

    Modern cricket is obsessed with wicket keeper batsmen rather than pure keepers, and of course even the best keepers will drop the odd chance, but that there is a downside as that drop has shown!

    190-3 at tea.

    As people know, i like Ballance - he's such a nuggety player, hard to dislodge once he's in, not pleasing on the eye, but mentally tough and i think he has a bigger range of shots than AA would like to admit to. Him and Root together is a good partnership.

    Lets hope we can have another wicketless session.

    Fabulous stuff from Root and Ballance. Cracking run rate too.
    Fingers crossed for session 3.

    It's a horrible pitch. Recipe for a bore draw but i think England will take that going to lords.

    Need to be really careful here. Another wicket and we are right back in the mess they just dug us out of.

    Bugger. Well done Ballance and Root for getting us out of a pretty nasty hole at 43-3.

    199-4 I'd have taken that after the first half an hour!

    Root is great to watch and still very young

    Glad they didn't review. That was as plumb as you're ever going to get!!

    Root gets his ton. The 6th quickest for England in Ashes history.

    Starc really spraying it around - like Johnson of old.
    Stokes looks like he's about to ignite the blue touch-paper.

    That was a fair hit by the ginge

    Great to see us taking the game to the Aussies in the same way as they would do to us.

    257-4 off 67 overs

    Root 126* (156)
    Stokes 32* (41)

    This last session is set up for our big hitters. Let's take the game away from them.

    Didn't need that dismissal, he's had his luck though today and has kept us in the game. Australia will hang around im sure tomorrow and we need another 150 from the tail

    Starc bowls Stokes two balls later.

    293-6

    Aussies ahead again

    Oh dear. Wickets falling. Just before the new ball as well.

    Need a partnership out of Buttler and Ali.
