Ali bowls well on rough in 3rd/4th innings but we go into shell against him when it starts turning a bit.

 Indian team have issues with spinners who bowls quick and accurate

I think that ban has benefitted Smith and has made him incredibly hungry for runs. I won't be surprise if he go on with a bradmanesque average for the next 5 years.

I really wanted to see Smith vs Bumrah in Test cricket. Two unconventional genius facing each other!

Even Smith vs Archer contest in Eng conditions will be interesting to watch. I feel archer will have edge but let's see.

True. Archer to me is a second coming of Michael Holding, especially, his bowling action. So easy on eye. Effortless. The Rolls Royce of fast bowling!

Steve smith gets hundred. Single handedly winning this match for his team.

[Ankit_sharma03]

Smith gets another 100 

[Stan AF]

This is stuff of an all time greatest. He's surely trumping every modern day batsman bar Don.

The match is reaching a stage where only two results could be possible. Either an Australian Victory or a Draw.

It's now curtains for poms.  Missing anderson badly.     Who would hv thought that they were going to win after being 122/8 on day1  ?  (Maybe Smith)

Anderson would have been useless on this pitch. Smith would have smashed him all around. Maybe archer should have played.

Wicket is doing absolutely nothing. England has to bat really poorly to lose this. Looks like a draw unless Lyon conjures up his lethal best.

There is enough turn in pitch but yeah not much for pacers.
