Just saw Lab's dismissal. Holy cow.

I still think it’s 320-340. Pitch isn’t doing that much with the exception of the first hour England have bowled like shit.

Makes a huge difference when batsmen apply themselves and show intent.

Great partnership getting to 100, need a lot more

They have a concussion sun these days - is it time they explored a sub for seriously injured players?

If Robinson can’t bowl again, it just hurts the contest and spectacle.

Englands over rate again deplorable

Deplorable is a slight over reaction - they’re only prob 4-5 overs behind at best.

Sensational Trav!

100%

Then a soft dismissal.

Well played Trav

Would’ve loved to see him go on with it but well done again Trav

Green's look the best he's been all series with the bat

Century to Trav and half century for Green, yes boys! Great partnership as they put on 121, Trav chipping it to Robinson is disappointing as he was pretty much in control his whole innings until that point. His back foot drive through point and flick over midwicket were so good to watch.

They're 8 overs behind at tea, might make that up in the extra half hour (if it's played) meaning play will go to 11pm local time.

The Trav wow !
Not only did The Trav smashem and made a ton, it also allowed Greeny to play with less pressure

Great too see Head and Green bat well today
If Carey can HAMMER up the advantage and make 50+ be a better day overall

Also the Brunette Don, Lab, he did his job today

5/215 Tea
9/322 would be nice at stumps

It's a no from me.

The concussion sub rule was brought in for a specific purpose, given what we now know about head knocks.

If Robinson can't bowl again, arguably it enhances the spectacle - while a specialist batsman may have to do more bowling, that's just part of the challenge the captain has to juggle.

Part of cricket, indeed all sports, is the challenge of adjusting to unexpected circumstances such as players being injured mid-match.

Introducing a general substitute rule would be robbing Peter to pay Paul, IMO.

And obviously that's not taking into account the potential for a general substitute rule to be abused.

Geez an inform Green is a site to see.

Scary how good he ‘could’ be. Absolutely a chance to be the greatest all rounder we have had. Only 22 years…

Enjoyed Trav’s knock… it’s not always easy to watch but to get a ton on this deck coming in at 3/12 is massive.

Now, Cam Green what a player we have here… the lad is 22… massive future. The next 15 years with him in the side will be bloody great to watch.

That's why the selecters will always persist with him. So much potential. Just needs time in the middle as we know he can bowl.

This has been some counter attack. 3/12 to 5/230.
