Fantastic counter-attacking ton from the much-maligned Mitchell Marsh. V happy for him.

Missed chances an absolute killer in this series. I would definitely have Foakes in the team. And the bowling attacks is looking better sans Anderson...

I'm expecting Murphy to easily hold his own. @Jeor: RE England's bowling - yes it doesn't look like wicket-per-ball stuff, but the lack of swing will do that to you. I actually think they have done quite well so far.

Great tribute, Cam. Vale Lord Manwoody.

Vale EHK. One of the most influential boarders we have seen.

The spirit of cricket thing is hilarious. Complete sideshow but brilliant in terms of drawing eyeballs to the superior form of the game.

Actually quite wild. If that had been given against England their would have been a pitch invasion.

100% a catch. That was ridiculous. I don’t think England have been that bad in this test - just a lot of unforced errors. Australia much more measured and playing the long game.

That was infuriating. Engand letting Aus back in needlessly. The Lyon injury is potentially massive and England had the chance to tire out the quicks.

Yup great start for the Aussies. They should be able to rack up a big score today.

This.

A lot of formerly undecided voters have switched to no. Perhaps they were just masking their intentions earlier.

Or maybe they’re just racist arseholes fed up with land acknowledgments looking for an excuse to vote no? Sometimes the simple answer is the correct one.

Indigenous affairs are pressing issues. Go to any indigenous community and the evidence is there. If Australians can't see that - they are fucked and need to get their heads out of their own arses. They should vote Dutton in next cycle and get the PM they deserve. It's pathetic.

Support for The Voice is slipping according to Newspoll - both in terms of overall popularity and on a state-by-state basis. I am fairly sure now that QLD will vote "No". The rest will probably be lineball. Overall my assessment is what it often is: Australia is a fucked-up place.

There was a bit of role reversal going on. Usually it's Australia being caught flat-footed when batsmen get aggressive (witness Boland's performance in this test match). But this time, it was Australia's tail going hard and the England bowlers not having answers. They definitely missed someone like Mark Wood. And, of course, while valiant, Moeen's performance in this match was far eclipsed by Lyon's.

Great victory. Neither team really deserved to lose. Very happy for Usman.

Amazing innings from Cummins. This looked all England not long ago. Decision to declare in first innings still baffling but may have only led to a draw rather than a positive result.

Where's the new ball!?! 30 to win. Two wickets.

Test is on a knife edge. It is all eerily 2005.

Aussies making a good fist of this. I think if they get to less than 50 to win with Usman and Carey at the crease, they will win.

I’m not convinced the draw is in play. Australia not scoring that slowly.

Looks like it will be down to Usman again to bail out Australia's batting. Nice start to the series for England in terms of dealing with the huge threats posed by Marnus and Smith.

Bazball misfiring a bit today. Australia now have a good chance of winning this test. ETA: Having said that, there are actually not many successful run chases over 200 at this ground. England got 378 last year on the back of Jonny's brilliance. SA chased 281 back in 2008. The next highest is only 208.

It’s definitely a flaw in the system. I think expulsion from the party should trigger a vacancy in the Senate that the party can fill.
