11.25am Innings break Marsh walks off to warm applause holding the ball aloft for his first Test five wicket haul. What a superb performance from a much maligned player. England are all out six runs shy of 300. Hard to know what kind of score that is. It looks well under par but we shall see. One suspects if Smith gets started it will be. Buttler played beautifully to extend the innings with Leach's support but England failed to capitalise on a great platform. It's over to Stuart Broad and Jofra Archer to try and continue to torment David Warner and Marcus Harris.
Rahman: "So let me get this right.. Pat Cummins who bowled his heart out through out the series didn't have the luck to get a five wicket haul.. Marsh comes in as a cover and gets 5? Cruel!!"
Richard Demarch: "Biggest question now is whether Smith can get more runs than England."
William Rajan: "The highest number of Englishmen in double figures I've seen in a while... every cloud "
How does England's total rate on a scale of well under par to Steven Smith can make 300 himself. Vote in the Live Report
