10.44am: England add 36 runs to their overnight score, for the loss of three wickets: two of them to that man Boland, the other to Nathan Lyon. Some pretty ordinary shot selection from the lower order... Broad and Anderson saunter off, and will share the new ball in a few minutes' time.

Aidan: "Doesn't matter how many wickets are left - Scotty will end your innings within an hour of play starting!"

Boland is now indisputably the GOAT. Here's the evidence.

Ben: "Second highest England innings of the series. What a state."

chris: "Scott Boland, the Adam Voges of bowlers. Late to the party, but what a great dancer!"

Keshav: "36/4 to 294 is something that England should be proud of. They can still win this if they put their hearts out."

Murtaza: "36/4 to start the innings and 36/3 to start the day - YJB in between"

Boland to Broad, OUT, banged in, Broad takes on the three men in the deep... but his top-edged pull is so high that Carey can run round towards the vacant square leg region and settle comfortably underneath it. England fall short of 300, yet again!

Just one slip, and three men out on the leg-side boundary

Lyon to Anderson, no run, oops, beaten playing the same shot. More bounce from Lyon, and enough over-spin to take it past the gloves as Anderson lines up another reverse
