  • The bowling of Woakes and Overton is poor. Dropped catch by Stoneman could be very costly. I can see Australia scoring 500 plus.

    I didnt see him bowl, but the comentators said that Overton was the only bowler to beat the bat in first 2 sessions.
  • bad drop by Stoneman
  • who are the black armbands for?
  • The ball is swinging for Jimmy now. I'm hoping we'll knock a few over in the last session

    I assume I’m missing something here?
    No one seems prepared to post the current scores on this thread.
    Know I’m going to get some mental replies( maybe even a whoooshing or two)......but I genuinely don’t get/know why it’s the case?
  • 137/2 off 48. 5 minutes until dinner/tea

    Think Woakes has been poor again. Overton showing some good signs despite going at 4 runs an over.

    To be fair to Overton, since he has been brought back he has bowled a lot better.

    Decent last over before the break from Overton. Khawaja and Smith do not look comfortable facing him.

    Dinner break.

    138-2, 51 overs

    Khawaja 53*
    Smith 25*
  • Overall although our attack hasn't looked to threatening we are keeping it quite tight.
    It's not often that the Aussies bat at less than 3 an over especially when at home.
    Pick up a couple of wickets after the break and we are in with a shout.

    Need Smith gone. He's been squared up a number of times, had a couple of edges that haven't carried, an agonisingly close c&b opportunity and an lbw shout.

    He didn't look anywhere near as good as he did in Brisbane but he's still there and I'm worried we're gonna regret not getting him out early.

  • bad drop by Stoneman

    He’s been Surreyised
  • Stoneman still had his pads on from fielding at short leg when he was running around the boundary...
  • Raining. Hope it doesn't last as I think we could do well in this session

    Yes, an interesting observation

    Working well so far.

    Shame it's got Kevin Pietersen on commentary...

  • Khawaja gone!!!
  • 139-3. Khawaja out for 53. Fourth ball after the break.
  • Important breakthrough, got to make the most of the conditions
  • A bit of chirp between jimmy & Steve Smith

    Love it!
  • Woakes bowling is poor again.

    Sorry, but you can blame me. I got up at 3.15 and after watching a load of dross for the first hour or so I went to bed at the first rain delay & missed the first wicket by minutes. I then woke up at 9.30 & found we'd just got the 3rd wicket. Got up & thought I'd watch the last session - 40 mins later & again no more wickets. I'm jinxed.
  • Smith gone!

    Get in!

    Wondering if Smith would ever get out again!
  • HUUUUGE WICKET

    Smith gone.

    Overton's first test wicket.
