Hopefully the weather stays away this weekend. This has all the hallmarks of a classic.
A good batting deck but one that provides something for the bowlers too, we've seen seam, swing, bounce and spin on day 1. Seems like a pitch that you can score runs on but one that also means you are never really in.
A couple of cheap wickets from Labuschagne and Head with poor shots but it will be a massive shame if we don't get the full test in here. Looks weather permitting like it could be an awesome test match.

I’m a tad disappointed!
8/299.
So many starts and no one has gone on with it!
Let’s start
—————-
Warner. 32
Manus. 51
Smith. 41
Head. 48
Marsh. 51
One of those 5 had to go one with a big 100 and still be batting in the morning.
Heck even two!
Score over 350 plus might get us back in it.
Starc. N.O. 23
Cummins N.O. 1
A lot rests on these two to get us that 350 plus on a pretty good wicket.
Then it’s up to our bowlers to deliver when they get a chance.
Gee Wood is fast.
Why didn’t he play the first two tests? Was he injured?
Tonight…….

Yeah Wood was injured. Its unfortunately been a trend with our quicker bowlers, they get injured a lot, but they help to transform and balance our attack when they are fit.
Should have done better on that pitch.
A couple of the LBWs were absolute horseshit, though. Tell me there's not a rat-faced Pommy nerd manipulating ball-tracking. Smith impact looked umpire's call. Green's was missing leg by inches.
Joel Wilson is useless.
83 overs in a day with the extra half hour. Pathetic from the Spirit of The Game champions.

Yeah bit disappointing one of the batters who got a start didn't make a ton. But 300 on the board is no disgrace. Would love a tail wagging 30 or 40, but with a refreshed Woods steaming in it probably won't happen. Amazing series, almost every session in every test has momentum swings, just as one side looks to be getting on top the other lands a blow to get on top or get it back to even.
True Carts.
Let’s see when it’s Englands turn.
If the weather is as predicted to change, get ready for something to happen when it’s Englands turn.
Get a feeling the second innings could be a T20 style , set total, over to you England to get it!
Wouldn’t be surprised if a bold declaration.
Who will have the courage to do it!
Lost opportunities, no doubt.
So many starts.
Maarnus found another way to go out.
To a hack One Day bowler. LBW.
Not good Maarn.
Mow - ween should be arrested for public nudity.
His Dukes Balls have nothing on them.
But too good for Maarn.
Although I get the feeling this pitch still plays some tricks.
Does look good for batting but just as a partnership looked set, a Wicket.
Just could be a pitch you are never really "in" despite the capacity to score pretty freely.
Agree with The Sage Cartman though, wait till both sides bat on it.
Agree also that ball tracking stuff (and the rule to protect the on field decision) is absolute cods wallop.
You know if he gave it out it stays out.
If he gave it not out it stays not out.
Where's Edmund Black Adder,
Absolute Balderdash, Baldrick!
I too, have started up my Rain Dance.
Would be nothing better.
The Old Dart weather sticking it to The Old Dart!

Looking back through the series so far it really has been the battle of bowling attacks. They’ve both been good at turning the screws.
