  1. Malan on 'emotional' hundred

    Yesterday was an emotional moment for Dawid Malan as he ended the day on 110 not out.

    He was watched on by his family and friends, and his mum was the first person to give him a hug as he left the field at stumps.

    "Whether people know your name or don't know your name, it's nice to put the doubts to bed," Malan told BBC Sport.

    "The three of us have never felt under pressure, like we have had backing from the coach and the captain, it's just that every time you open a newspaper you read how bad you are.

    "It was pretty emotional. I was trying to keep the tears in."

    If you missed any of yesterday's play, or you fancy reliving Dawid Malan's first Test century, then Pint-sized Ashes has got you covered.

  3. Hello! It's oh so very early. Early enough for us to have broken into our emergency cake stash.

    Welcome to this second day of the third Ashes Test. England will be resuming very shortly on 305-4, with Dawid Malan on 110 and Jonny Bairstow on 75. This is a good batting track, and England need to make hay while the sun shines in Perth.

  4. Yesterday was a day that made me glad I got up at stupid o'clock and trudged my way towards a TV.

    Fast, hostile bowling. Two players standing tall. A maiden Test century. It had a bit of everything.

    Can England make it count today?
