Good fifty for MJ.

Didn't have much joy with the ball in this match but this will give him some heart. Starc supporting him well too. Not selling their wickets lightly.

Where is everyone Mark? Surely not worried England won't pull this off.

Mitch wants a century.

Lead under 200, lets hope it doesn't rain tomorrow so Oz have a chance of getting these runs. :dance

They are delaying things rather too well for mine...all very admirable , but I was hoping England would wrap this up soon so I can get some sleep...

Attacking Root as soon as he comes on : suppose now they are half way to the target they are keen to get on and finish the job ?

I know we did a good job in the first innings, but England aren't a good tail mopping up side.

Two to go.

And I'm going out shortly.

Only 14 overs to the new ball now and 24 in the day. I think if it's not over by time the new ball arrives it will be pretty shortly afterwards.

Easier to mop up when you have a new ball...

But Cook and Lyth combine to catch Starc ...so Root has the break. Not before time ; but just two to go now...

All Yorkshire wicket that one,

Yep not without a bit of luck, that was hit hard.
