2 minutes and 9 seconds of Steve Smith stuck in a lift. Excellent viewing. Can't recommend enough.

A little bit of anticipation that England will have a chance in the test tonight.
The Aussies might have spent all Christmas getting pissed up and eating too much.
Ah well...

Imagine envying Bangladesh their batting.

Reasonable dsy for England with the late wickets.
I can't help but think the if England had batted they'd be 6 down by now.

Aussies should break 400 which gives them a strong enough score to bowl England out twice.

England have bowled pretty well, Aussies have batted patiently.

Crawley was fortunate there. Wicket is starting to do a bit too.

Seems like yesterday was quite a mixed bag, a mini collapse (obviously), some counter attacking and a nice century from Bairstow. Realistically I think a draw is l we can hope for, but I'm hoping to stay up to watch England bat tonight!

I am not unhappy about his century but I fear that'll mean YJB at 6 for another 20 tests, which I would be unhappy about, unless he scores heavily.

Not entirely happy with the call-up of Billings. I can see the practicalities of it but Foakes must wonder what the hell he needs to do to get a game. If he's not in the summer test squads then he might as well play for someone else.

I think he should sign for South Africa. After all of the 'borrowing' England have done, it's only fair that some traffic goes the other way.

Khawaja scored a lovely 100 just now. England had Australia sweating at 4-86 and its now 4-258.
Nothing like keeping your boot on their throat.

This is a great chance for England to get a draw tomorrow. Forget the win, its not there, but bat all day and the whitewash is gone.
