I knew we’d get a first innings lead as soon as Max predicted 500 for the Aussies. :lol:

Great captaincy again to wrap that up so quickly. One innings game.

Poor batting from the boys. Smithy owes us one next innings.

Any lead is a lead, England to declare again just before close of play!!!

This wicket is getting slower and lower by the hour, 275 could just do it on the fourth day, but I suspect 300 +

Are we over or under a declaration at 250.

7 run lead is an exceptional lead for England :roll:

Great morning for England 4 wickets for 14 runs off 21 balls, but it could have been so much better had Bairstow not missed a simple stumping and missed that catch off Carey and Broad's no ball, may have cost England a much bigger lead and maybe a three figure lead at that.

Over, but England will have to bat well against this Aussie attack, should be a fantastic contest this.

Planet Bazball with President Stokes in charge.

Setting 250 to win with two full days left would mental.
