After all the well deserved criticism this is a really good, and largely sensible, knock from these 2.

Root still needs to answer the 2nd big question though and convert this to a big century.

How we respondcto the next wicket will decide this one though, if we lose 2-3 we're in trouble, if we just accept it and carry on as we are the ashes is back on.

We're still going to lose, but at least two players seem to have remembered the existence of test cricket.

Key period now. If Root and Stokes can survive the day, they could win it by tea tomorrow. Lose another quick couple of wickets and all that hard work will be for nothing.

That’ll be the game, Denly taking his eyes off the short ball ultimately got him. He did well.

We need to same application from every batsmen.

Always the same when the Aussies have a spinner on. "Oh nice one Shane/Stewie/Lyono!"

Yes even when Lyon’s drops a loopy pop it’s great bowling Garry yes Garry keep it up Garry. I think it’s their collective push to make the batter feel he’s only there till the next ball.

Stokes is an ideal batsman in these circumstances, he can be patient and build an innings. I’m not tempting fat yet though

Well done England dug in well. I still make it about a 10% chance of winning, and Root never scores after being not out over night, but at least they’re fighting.

We need Root or Stokes to bat through and it’s time for Buttler and Bairstow to deliver. If Buttler fails tomorrow he should be dropped.

One option is Pope, another is to take the gloves off Bairstow and pick Foakes.  A further option is to drop Denly and move Roy down, picking Sibley or Crawley to open.  I think that would be harsh on Denly: he's batted better than Roy, is excellent in the field and is a useful leg spin option.

Roy to 5 and Sibley in would be sensible.
