It's an effort in jinxing! But in all seriousness we've fought back well, however we're still 220 short of a good score and we need to go on.

Can't tell what a good score is until both sides have batted on it.
Besides, Australia will be batting last again, and if any side is just about hanging on in this series so far it's them with their two freakish last wicket stands. They won't keep doing that.

Bell sounds in top form and the Bairstow "wicket" may just kick him on...straight bat Jonny, straight bat...

We need to bat out this session with Belly & Bairstow, don't do anything silly.

I'd settle for 300-5, more than one wicket in this session swings it slightly back towards the Aussies.

Me too. I'm biased towards England.

Jokes aside, I'm also biased to Bell because he's such a fine player when he's in form, and it's good to see him putting in high scores at crucial times. Very impressive.

If Bell gets his 100 he will be in elite company of Jack Hobbs and Wally Hammond in scoring centuries in three successive Ashes tests.....i hope that isnt the kiss of death for him.
A remarkable feat with his record against the Aussies

The Aussies sent Warner away to Zimbabwe to join up with their 'A' team.....a major success against a Combined Select xi he was out for 9.
