This is like the Tories losing a junior minister in Ross, Cromarty and Skye - an hour after they've got to 326.

Day 3 and with 20 overs to bowl before the new ball England need Cook and Root to push on and reduce the deficit and get England to 270+.
This could be a really fascinating day. I'll try to survive until lunch before sleep catches up with me.

Still possible for Cook to join the 50% club. Ten England batsmen have done it in the Ashes, award yourselves a statto's urn if you can name even half of them (some very unusual suspects).
Here's the full list, from all tests.

Seen a couple of media references this morning to England having done enough to avoid the whitewash. They could still fuck it up from here, dismiss Australia again (yes, I know) for 350 then have an awkward chase of something like 190 from 60 overs. That'd be sufficient time to make a hash of things and get bowled out again.

A certain other player scored 0 in that test, but that's not what the match is remembered for.

Moeen looks shot to be honest and could do with a rest. Still think his job would be easier if there was another proper spinner in the team, alongside him rather than instead of him. It spins a bit at Sydney normally, so maybe there, but there isn't an obvious replacement.
