Gonna be a batting belter after lunch.

Poms will feel they are prob 80/100 short of what they need on this deck.

Marnus Labuchange you have put us in a spot letting Stokes get into your head. We needed you fresh tomorrow morning. Meanwhile Trav goes on his merry way mixing loose play with spanking cuts and drives. He seems impervious to pressure.

The Sydney test is looking like a real test.
Good to see the Poms improve.
I only say that because I prefer a close game in all sports.
I still hope Australia wins this 5th test.

I'd just like to thank Potts for being Australia's second highest contributor today, what a top bloke!

Could this test match end up as a draw?
Might Australia declare?
Decisions!
See how it goes but such strategic thinking is interesting.

It was great to see Head and Smith each get another century plus.

My take is the Aussies will be looking at a 200 lead then declare. That will give the Poms a lot of score board pressure even tho it is no minefield to bat on. Steven Smith is a good strategic captain so he will keep the opposition under the pump..
