they managed to take two wickets, cameron bancroft and khawaja. david vaughan and steve smith. that will be the key factor in winning the test match. the fact they have been taken off early, no chance of australia win the match. no chance of the 5—0 whitewash. a question of whether england can force victory whether england can force victory whether they have the time. they have the time, potentially do they have the time, potentially do they have the time, potentially do they have the ability? they need to bowl australia out pretty quickly? absolutely key getting one of both warner and sniff out. the two australian batsmen. 0nly occasionally did they get to the boundary, because england tied them down. they need to get one of them out. then they are into the australian middle order. england will fancy their chances of making further progress. big day for the england bowlers, james anderson and stuart broad, the most experienced and successful english bowling partnership. there will be some attention on the english use of the ball. they were born f
