With Cummins and Paine batting well and making the tail shorter we might go for M.Marsh in Perth over Handscomb.

Would Head be starting to come into the frame? Plays well in Perth
67, 80 & now 132 all in his last 4 matches after a lean start has his season average up to 39.5
Might get a gig especially if knocks out a 50 in the 2nd innings this arvo/tomorrow

Test is far from over IMO, reckon anything under 350 England will have a fair chance of chasing down. Root and Cook both due and they bat down to 9 as well

Correct - They struggled to 300 in the first innings at the Gabba and haven't looked like getting near that since. Add in the night session tonight and i wouldnt be surprised if the match finished tonight or first up tomorrow
