    If they get over 200 and therefore a lead of 250+ then we are toast.

    Weatherald bowled by Stokes for 5

    40-2 with Labuschagne coming to the crease

    Hoping that Head isn’t there too much longer

    Atkinson is off the field dealing with a hamstring problem

    Atkinson seems to have a problem. This looks like one of those Ben Stokes marathon stints if the Aussies can bat for some time.

    With Atkinson off need Root to tie down one end

    Stokes bowled well that over but beyond stinging Labuschagne's hand he doesn't get any reward

    Head dropped by Jacks

    Jacks has to take that.  And with Atkinson off, a number 8 who isn't a full time bowler looks like a massive luxury.

    Tongue gets Labuschagne to edge behind for 8. Umpire review for a fair catch, Root seems to get his fingers under the ball but don't think the Aussie's will be happy with that

    That to me is a 90% catch, a fair catch with a small chance that it hit the ground,  as opposed to one where it probably hit the ground.

    Fantastic ball from Carse to bowl the dangerous Head for 46. 82-4

    The track is ridiculous and that dismissal is proof.

    When you’ve got Brydon Carse jagging one away from a left hander and kissing the top of off stump like he’s Curtley Ambrose.

    Sub Pope catches Kawaja for a second ball duck off Tongue

    That one however is just poor from Khawaja

    And Carey edges to slip for 4 off Carse. 88-6

    We are doing well today, but i'm not sure i would even fancy us to get 150 to win.

    What an entertaining morning session. Hope the updates were up to scratch Oohaah

    I'm off to bed. 

    Yesterday when I went to bed the Aussies were 80 something for 3. I woke to them being 152 all out & us 86/8. 

    Praying that we at least give ourselves half a chance of winning a Test this series.

    Haven’t watched much of this test so far. 

    If we can keep the lead below 200, would we be better just coming out all guns blazing? 

    From what I’m reading I can’t imagine any of our players will last long enough on this pitch to put up double figures.

    Smith does the same thing in the next Carse over too
