As usual we let the oppo off the hook when in charge, the attack needs more pace and bounce, and when was the last time cook for runs when it was really needed and difficult, not doubt he'll get some when it doesn't matter to keep his average up
 
Well played Steve Smith, he looked troubled twice throughout. Credit to Stoneman and Root for surviving that. They clearly can be no worse than 3 down at lunch now to set any kind of total. 250-280 would be defendable but I have a feeling they'll now be blown away for a comfortable Aussie chase.

Been in 2 great positions here England, should have scored about 30-50 more and Australia have scored 30-40 too many from those positions.

The media are probably going to build Smith into being as unable to be dismissed now. They were starting that by close of play on the 2nd day. Huge damage to the rest of the tour in one session potentially, when they have played brilliantly for large parts.
