Hameed played very well. He looks to have all the right attributes for an opening batsman. He just needs a score to get him going.

It was just the day that England and the tour needed. It was all doom and gloom after the first two days.
At the toss Joe Root said this side had character and they do. The character he and Dawid Malan showed with the bat was fantastic and momentum is just starting to swing towards us.
Stay with us for reaction from both dressing rooms.

Samuel: I've got this strange feeling of optimism... I don't like it.

From a very desperate position, one where defeat looked certain, they've given themselves a chance.
The one big difference between this game and the famous 2010-11 match is that a draw is not an option.
When England bowled Australia out for 425 this morning - Travis Head the last man out for 152 - the tourists trailed by 278.
They were 61-2 with both openers were out but Joe Root and Dawid Malan have shared an unbeaten four-hour partnership of 154.
The deficit is now 58.

It was so important England didn't roll over in this second innings. That they came in and showed they had a method and plan to this Australian bowling attack.
Well batted, Joe Root and Dawid Malan.
Hope, it's good to see you again.

I don't know why he was lured into playing that. He's left so well but almost gave an edge off the last ball.
Trail by 58
My heart. Root nibbles at the last ball. The crowd thought there was an edge.
They've got there. Just.

What a fine performance this has been. A really good effort. Determined, gritted teeth stuff.
Joe Root bobs at the knee, waves his bat behind his head and defends. The Barmy Army sing. Root will face the final ball...
Three balls to go. It's four hours since a wicket fell...
Cameron Green will bowl the final over of the day.
If you're just waking up England really are 220-2. Can they finish it off?
Urghhhhh. Malan goes back to cut - always dangerous. It misses off stump by just a couple of inches.
Lyon is done for the day.

That was beautifully placed - a fine shot. Malan has driven well today.
Four to Dawid Malan! I'm not sure I want to see him driving Nathan Lyon at this stage of the day but it's a lovely shot.

Gigantobear: I remember going to bed during a first Test in the past thinking we've lost it, and waking up to 250/1. The rest as they say, is history.
Nathan Lyon is back for what will probably be a one-over spell.
Tense.

Root looks tired. He's breathing heavily. A massive amount of concentration has gone into his innings.
