Wicket.

Never run on a mis-field.

Wicket (caused by a break in play?).

Didn't realise they have flashing bails in this test.

Not long no doubt before coloured clothing is the norm for D/N tests.

Tight bowling but we're not taking wickets.

Sounds like better bowling after the break though.

Australia are looking too comfortable out there.

Woakes gets Warner.

Australia only every one wicket away from a collapse.

4 bowlers at Adelaide is a big ask, even with Australia's bowling line up.

Khawaja looks in good touch. A key partnership this is.

Make 'em pay, Uzie.

How costly will that drop be I wonder.

He gets his half-century....

I find it hard to understand the calls for him to be dropped by some aspects of the Oz media. Yes, he has his occasional troubles against spin, but he averages 45 in Test cricket, for God's sake....

Im not sure its occasional troubles with spin though. He looks totally lost against them.

He's not having any trouble now, though.....

I think that anyone who wants to replace him has to average higher than him in Test cricket.

Shaun Marsh averages 36. I can't justify calls to drop Khawaja, and yet retain Marsh.

What time is play meant to finish today?
