Shades of the 1990s, when England's men often seemed to be proficient at winning final Tests in Sydney when the Ashes were already out of reach?
But let's not take anything away from England - a professional, all-round performance puts them in position to draw the series if they win again on Tuesday.
That game is a day-nighter so you can set your alarms a little later. Play starts at 08:10 GMT, with TMS on air from 08:00.
Thanks for your company - so whether you're turning off the lights and going back to sleep, or following our coverage of England in the Rugby League World Cup, do enjoy the rest of your Sunday. Adios.
