Ronay on Root.

Lemon on Labuschagne.

So, the Ashes lives on. Australia did well to see 30 overs out today, with the loss of only Labuschagne, who became strangely skittish once he reached three figures. He was the big wicket though, so England will think they are in with a good chance of running through the rest, especially if the light is good enough for Mark Wood to send down dynamic bombs.

Thanks for all the emails and sorry for all the many that I didn’t have time to use. Geoff will be here tomorrow morning, rain or shine, join us then. Good night!
