What a pathetic captain Tim Paine is ! 

 

Now I get how cheeku won down under (with all due respect to Pujara and Bumrah). 

Now gives the first over with the new ball to Siddle.

Lyon bowling with new ball in overcast conditions 

[Frustrated]

Late declaration by Aussies have increased the chances of a boring draw. 

 

[Kronadler]

Lyon's day tomorrow. Pitch bound to offer spin and bounce. Dry surface will deteriorate. It will take some batting to survive.

[diga]

Lot depends on Pattinson & Lyon.. Might be a draw

[Nikola]

Aus has gotten early wicket but it will be hard for pacers with old ball to get 9 more wickets. Lyon will have to pick fifer if aus has to win this.

[Nikola]

Root lucky to be there. Was out to lyon. Roy dropped off siddle by paine.

Lyon gets roy.

[nevada]

What a needless shot from Roy! Gifted his wicket away.

[Nikola]

Denly gone. Review wasted.

[Sachinism]

Denly reviews last second, doesn't seem sure

[Nikola]

Root gone.

Ashwin instead of doing all antics should see what Lyon is doing, this guy is just amazing.He has won them matches in fourth innings like a spinner is supposed to do. 

[Nikola]

Buttler gone first over after lunch.

True without much variations and keeping it simple in test matches. Ashwin had to do same last year in couple of matches but he failed to do so.

[Sachinism]

Uh oh. should be done by tea

[Norman]

Lol last time I checked they were 60/1 now they're 85/5. 

 

Congratulations Australia on taking the lead in an away Ashes series for the first time since 2001.

No need for anything fancy, just land it in the rough ball after ball. But Mr. Too Intelligent thinks it's beneath him to do something so simple and contorts his body for all kinds of variations which don't fetch any wickets.

Jadeja is like inferior version of Lyon, he does not turn the ball but does not try too many things.Ashwin had so many chances to win test matches away from home but he has flopped big time.
