The comments across most platforms I've read have the day well in favour of Australia. Not sure how. 4/200 with one of them a piece of very good fielding and really only half our attack looked like taking a wicket. Very even days play for mine.

Its a really good deck out there. Batting at the Gabba has always been great in days 2 and 3.

Nick Marsh and Starc have just chased the same ball down at deep backward square and as Starc slid in Nick scoops the ball up and has spiked Starc in the left knee and ripped his strides.

Starc gone off with a bit of blood on the knee, doesn't look bad but FFS...NICK!

reckon 500 is on the cards here, our bowling appears to have no penetration

5/246 Malan gone for 56.

Starc gets him caught at backward square after peppering him all morning with short stuff.

Maybe so, but it will take England 3 days to do it.
They are doing nothing but keeping Aust in the field,hoping one of the Aussie Bowlers break down. Getting themselves a draw at the Gabba is huge, as I think they would rate their chances in Adelaide with the pink ball.

Believe this was thrown around by commentators yesterday saying England would prefer to get out of Brisbane with a draw with the view to attack in Adelaide.

Jeez Lyon is a good bowler. Has improved massively over the last couple of years
