    The English, in tough, oppressive conditions, have shown plenty of ticker and fight. You have to give Joe Root a lot of admiration for that.

    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Australia are still in the box seat, but as soon as England start chipping away at those runs, the bowling unit starts to strive, the shoulders start tensing up and I'm really looking forward to it.

  5. What's that noise you can hear? It's the sound of the Big First Hour klaxon.

    England will resume 220-2, 58 runs behind. The new ball will be available in 10 overs time.

    It's going to be one of those sleepless nights. We get under way at 23:30 GMT.

  6. 24 hours ago even the most partisan England fan had almost given up. Now, after a battling partnership between Dawid Malan and Joe Root on day three, there's a different feeling.

    Australia are surely still overwhelming favourites. They should still win, possibly today. But there's a chance...

  7. Hope:

    a feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen...
