First ball of the day and Anderson goes to Cummins. England lead by 164, how many will Australia be down before they get rid of the deficit? I'll say 2.
Looking forward to this session.

That straight on drive by Bancroft was beautiful.
England are leaking runs in these two overs, surely some conservative bowling to increase the pressure would be better than attacking and trying to buy a wicket.
Edit: Woakes replaces Broad after two overs and Curran comes on for Anderson after three.Last edited by Antepli Ejderha; 29-12-2017, 00:07.

I would reckon that Australia need a minimum of 350. Even if they did that at 2.74 an over (1st innings rate), it would leave England needing 190 or so from 50-55 overs, probably an even game on a last day pitch.
But as Janik says, this only comes into play at all if Australia don't lose both Warner and Smith before end of play tonight, which is a tough ask.

Warner and Smith are together with the deficit 98. This partnership could decide the test, first they've got to survive 15 minutes until lunch.
