John Main: Is it worth pointing out Australia were in a similar position in their 1st Innings, so all hope isn't lost yet. Now we just need someone to get a double hundred and Australia's bowlers to bowl garbage for the next two days.

Ooft. Joe Root gets turned over by Josh Hazlewood and he's hit high on the front pad as he shuffles backwards.

Root watched that late and at the last minute opened the face. It is a sign of someone who is seeing the ball well.
Shot!
Typical Joe Root, hopping up onto his toes and guiding Josh Hazlewood past the slip cordon and away through third man for four.
Here's how Craig Overton fell in the second over of today's truncated play.

It is good pace from Mitchell Starc.
Starc 5-4-5-0
There's something about a left-arm seamer, isn't there? I love watching Mitchell Starc.
He comes charging in, sleeveless sweater on, thumb heavily strapped up and pace cranking up, and he tempts Rory Burns into a loose drive outside his off stump. That swung away, actually. Be careful, Rory...

Josh Hazlewood brushes Joe Root's outside edge with a beauty.
Fun little contest, this.

They've run four! Root and Burns really got their heads down. Good positive running.
A peach from Josh Hazlewood, cutting Joe Root in half and just jagging over the top of the stumps, and Root responds with a fine drive through the covers for three.
No, wait, it's four! An all run four! Yes! Fine running from the England pair, Root keeping his head down and charging through for the fourth run.

Not a great shot that from Root. Leave it, leave it.
Joe Root, perhaps inspired by Rory Burns, tries to play a drive of his own and ends up pushing at fresh air with an awkward sort of push. Josh Hazlewood smirks at him while Root, wisely, avoids eye contact.

That drive for four by Burns went down better here than a warm drink on a freezing first day of this Test.

Josh Hazlewood now has 50 wickets at 23 against England.

That is a very positive and neatly-played drive.
Burns 19, Root 2
Joe Root is squared up once again, but a one-handed flick to fine leg brings him a single.
Oh, shot! Rory Burns had his outside edge tickled by Mitchell Starc earlier in the over but this is a divine drive, getting down on one knee and pushing Starc handsomely away for four.

Geoffrey Boycott. By the time he'd finished cutting your hair, it would have regrown to double the original length.

England need a couple of centurions.

Rory Burns ducks a bouncer that isn't really a bouncer - more a short ball that he probably could have patted away - and the ball swishes across the front of his grille.
Oh, that's lovely from Josh Hazlewood, ending the over with a gorgeous ball that just swings past Burns' outside edge.

This feels like a key phase now. He's the one player capable of playing the long, really big innings England require.
