50 .. good one Burns .. one of the few successes to emerge from this series

Starc being expensive and perhaps explaining why the Aussies have been reluctant to play him

I thought he would be the 'secret weapon' .. perhaps he's now a bit old and over the hill .. good if he is

How many more times can Root almost play onto his stumps without actually doing so?

Will we follow on by the close or will it rain again?

Neither. 
We will still be batting at the close.
Keep the faith.

Roy has no excuse now. He'll be coming in against the old ball, and with relatively tired bowlers

I am hoping he gets a chance to prove himself against the new ball.  The third new ball.  After 160 overs.  When we are deciding how big a target to set them.

Covered End

125-2 at tea.

Well played. Patient and controlled. The cheering every time Lyon had to catch was priceless but I'm upset about the murdered unicorn.

Great session. Looking forward to seeing Root getting his 50 and then going on to a big

Good session, need at least another 3 of them from a batting perspective. Hopefully can get the draw to leave us with a cracking final test.

About 4.50pm on Sunday it is then

good stamina from Cummins here

Surely this has to be his last over?

It's a price you have to pay when you only pick 4 bowlers. 
 No sympathy from me.

Well done Nathan Lyon.  Another magnificent half-century.  20-3-51-0.  Relentless. 

Covered End

Burns out.

Jason Roy coming out, massive test for him

Rudders22

Great. Arrive at gym. Check in on the score and we lose a wicket !

Rudders22

Bloody Smith. Mind you at least his team mates scored 200 odd runs between them this time. 

killerandflash

I bet Denly wishes he could have come in at 166-3 in the 65th over!

Here we go. Jason Roy 100 loading.
