Run rate not an issue for me at the moment. Think it's more important to keep them out in the field for a couple of days and psychologically grind them down.

Exactly this. If the Australian media are bleating about the run rate (which some of them were after day one) then it's because their bowlers haven't done as well as they'd expected them to, and England are getting to them. Put it this way, if England had been 196/8 at the close (instead of four), they wouldn't have been whining about slow scoring

This is going along nicely isn't it? Malan thoroughly deserving his 50.

Totally agree with Swan talking about Lyon looking pretty. He's bowled about five genuinely threatening balls IMO.

Oh dear, two in quick succession 249-6., cool heads required. 300 is a decent score on this wicket and we have to get there after the hard work we've put in..

Need some swashbuckling from Bairstow. Broad won’t last long with bumpers.

Wow, 13 off that Lyon over, go Jake Ball, but not a good idea to have pinched that single off the last ball

Jake Ball - 13 off the over.

It's entertaining for sure.

Good catch to end the session (or not - forgot the extra half hour). Hopefully get to 300 but unlikely
