Tough to call that a chance, ball dipped too much and Smith barely got a couple of his fingers despite full length dive.

Root looking strong for a maiden 100 in Australia and will eclipse Sachin as the best batsman ever.

As long as Root scores a big 100 today, I am willing to make any sacrifice. Enjoying the match?

Eng has done well after 2 early wickets. 

[Lone Wolf]

If England gets to play around 70ish overs they will finish over 300 and would get a crack at Australians under the lights

Pitch is so slow at this point.  It will quicken up tomorrow.

[Nikhil_cric]

Poor bowling by Australia.  They have pitched too many deliveries fuller than 7m and Crawley has cashed. 

 

Keep it shorter than that and this guy can't score at all.
