Shame he couldn't go on but I'd have taken 54 from Moeen at 3!

Root coming in at 130-2 - he’s done his job

More than. Excellent from Mo. Two more scores in the 20's or 30's in 3 innings and he has done his job in that role.

Now let's Bazball

Crawley has his highest Test score against Australia

England going at 7 runs per over since lunch… now a drinks break

151-2 from 29 overs

Crawley 83 (81)
Root 8 (7)

If we win the Ashes I'm voting Zak Crawley as SPOTY

There could be absolute carnage after tea!

Keep batting, surely our best bet is to get a lead

When luck is with you then you have to ride it. Keep going Zak.

I think the only way for england to win is a massive score from here, quickly.

As long as we can keep scoring at a good run rate, I would agree. If we could get a three figure lead and have most of tomorrow at them, I think we’re in a very strong position.

Would back us to chase anything sub 300 in a half day on day 5…

Callumcafc

The alternative is trying to get a lead of 50 ish tonight and have 10 overs at them. A lot will depend on how the bowling unit is feeling I suspect.

Zak has batted better in other games, but got out to either a good ball or to one of those drives that he's got away with today.

Leuth

That shot from Root. We've got 'em in trouble all right

cantersaddick

At risk of putting the mockers on him Roooot is looking in fine form.

Callumcafc

Starc walking gingerly after completing that last over

Callumcafc

100 for Zak!

MrOneLung

Get in Zak

shirty5

Crawley made a century 

North Lower Neil

Well done Zak Crawley!  Keep going!!

killerandflash

That 100 should be added on to Kent's score in their game, if they're allowed to have Lawrence back 

Fanny Fanackapan

OUR Zak ! 

Made in Kent ! 

MrOneLung

Now has the two fastest centuries by an England opener

Rothko

You can actually hear the admiration in how England play from Pointing here

WELL DONE ZAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kentaddick

when it works bazball is an absolute joy to watch. Absolutely dominating the aussies atm.

Callumcafc

Surprised it took them this long to bring Marsh into the attack.

Hazlewood aside, the most Woakes-like bowler they have
