England wrapped up for 227, Craig Overton left on 41 not out... And the sight of David Warner and Cameron Bancroft sprinting from the field confirms that Australia will be batting again with a lead of 215. England have avoided the follow on but they look unlikely to avoid a thumping in Adelaide. We'll be back in a few minutes

"Bowl them out for 100 and we have a faint chance," mooches Matt. "Any more and series is gone."
