    Duckett needs one more low score to round off a terrible series.

    Crawley has looked far better across this series.

    What a contrast of styles of ground the SCG is. The absolute concrete monstrosities with no style (unlike Adelaide) alongside the beautiful old colonial stands.
    When i lived in Sydney i used to work not far from the North Sydney Oval which is where they put all the old colonial stands from the SCG - its a stunning old feel ground , you could almost be transported back 70 years.

    Decision stands on umpire’s call. Two balls before the planned drinks break.

    51-2

    Umpires call on height but that was obviously never getting overturned

    Jesus Root. First ball waft.

    Not looking good. Really need a score of at least 350. 400+ should be the aim for the 1st innings.

    The SCG accountants won't be getting the 5 day Test they were hoping for.

    Thats a better hour of play.  Didnt think we'd get to lunch only 3 down. But now we have we need to press on & get a good first innings score. No reason why we can't get 400 ish. No demons in this pitch....atm that is.

    It's all looking much easier out there when Green is bowling. He's incredibly lucky to play all 5 games.

    Harry Brook does his best to give his wicket away with an uncontrolled hook shot. But the ball lands exactly between three converging fielders

    Over rate even worse today. Just half of the allotted overs bowled so far & we are just 15 mins away from tea. Can't even blame time taken up for wickets falling or DRS reviews.

    If 6 penalty runs were given for every over not bowled by close of play then that might hurry them up a bit. Even without any rain today I doubt we'll get in much more than 80 overs today. Imagine England being given another 60 runs tonight !

    They’ve called an early tea break at 211-3.

    Remains to be seen whether there’ll be more play today.

    Tempted to go to bed now as even if there is more play later it might be a long delay before they get back out again.
