5.57pm Right, Australia go into a huddle, out come Burns and Roy to face the music. Seven overs tonight, which is no easy task after 111 overs in the field.

Mustafa Moudi: "Special mention to the Cricinfo Commentators for predicting Australia are ahead when England took the Lead and Everyone blamed u to be biased towards Australia and now we are witnessing what u already predicted. Cheers !!!" Familiarity breeds pessimism, I tend to find!

5.51pm Well, that worked out alright for the Aussies. From 122 for 8 on the first morning, they've since added a further 649 for 9, to bat England into utter subservience... Steven Smith was once again magnificent, Matthew Wade produced his first century for six years, and the tail played their long-handled part to perfection. A very tough half-hour before the close, as Rory Burns and Jason Roy face the music... and a nominal target of 398

Brendan: "I remember years ago Shane Warne in commentary talking about being brave enough to risk a loss in order to gain the win. It doesn't seem like Australia have been willing to do that. " I dunno about that... Lyon will find plenty, and it's a different dynamic for England in a safety-first setting. How does Roy play it, for starters? Plus, there's time for two new balls...

Everyone's ready in the dressing room now ... two more balls?

"God save your Queen..."... yeah, that'll show 'em!

To be fair, this pair haven't been wasting their time. 65 from 70 so far...
