3.55pm: Australia added 62 runs for the loss of four wickets this morning, and England will be relatively happy with their bowlers' work - particularly when you consider that Ollie Robinson's back problems have prevented him bowling since the over after dinner on the first day. Mind you, they've still scored more than England have managed in an innings at any point in this series...

Pujan: "Look at the stats: in 8 innings so far Australia had batted, only in 3 ot them they were all out."

My colleague Alex Malcolm tells me: "That is the first time Australia has made 300 without at least a half-century contribution from one of Smith, Warner or Labuschagne in 21 Test matches since February 2019, when Travis Head made his maiden Test century on a magnificent Manuka Oval batting strip against Sri Lanka."

Broad to Lyon, OUT, through him! Good length from Broad, and hits the top of middle-and-off as Lyon looks to slug him away through the leg side but swipes at thin air.

Asher: "Is ScoBo can remain unbeaten at 14 or more, he will have a batting average of 20 and a bowling average of 10. What an all rounder!"
