Jack Leach will have a big job to do in the fourth innings of this match, but he got himself in the game while trying to contain runs as England waited for the new ball. A fine bit of bowling from the left-arm spinner as he pinned Cameron Green lbw.
Marcus Harris, who was under some pressure coming into this Test, held Australia's innings together. He made a patient and determined knock before he was eventually removed by James Anderson for his second-best Test score of 76.
Travis Head briefly threatened to do some damage for Australia before Joe Root, who has caught well all day, took a good slip catch to dismiss him off Ollie Robinson.
England really applied some fantastic pressure and put Australia under pressure.
Along with Labuschagne, England needed to remove run machine Steve Smith and James Anderson got the Aussie vice-captain before lunch.
If England were to have a chance of getting back in the test match they knew they had to get Marnus Labuschagne out cheaply and they did just that.
It was the first time the Aussie batter has been dismissed for a single-figure score in his Test career since making his debut at Lord's in 2019.
England got off to an ideal start as they got rid of nighwatchman Nathan Lyon pretty cheaply in the morning session. The celebrations were pretty low key but the tourists soon picked up the tempo.
If you're just wiping the sleep from eyes wondering why Australia are no longer batting well it's good news for once.
England have plugged away and give themselves a fighting chance in this Test match at the MCG.
Let's recap what you have missed.

England will have to be resolute because the pitch is tasty. An 82-run lead feels significant in this match.
Boland c Crawley b Wood 6 (Aus 267 all out)
Australia dismissed for 267 which gives them a lead of 82.
A thick edge to a delivery from Mark Wood which climbed on to Scott Boland outside off stump and Zak Crawley takes a sharp catch at second slip.

Scott Boland and Mitchell Starc milk a few singles off James Anderson to get the drinks break. The Australia tail end are frustrating England here.
At 261-9 they have a lead of 76 runs.

Stu Harman: Physio needed to work some magic on Ollie Robinson, we will need him to bat soon.
Lead by 72 runs
Ollie Robinson straight on to bowl again and Australia eke out two runs and a leg bye. The England seamer appears to be fine, anyway.
This, it seems, is an example of the Australian practice of drinking from shoes. Also known as a shoey.

The way Mitchell Starc has batted in this series, he looks like a top-order batter. He's not a number 10! He's got incredible balance.
Lead by 69 runs
Scott Boland leaves his first ball in Test cricket from James Anderson, who is on the hunt for a fifth wicket.
The Aussie tailender then defends stoutly to see out the over.
Good news for England as Ollie Robinson comes back on. Looks like he maybe just had a bit of cramp.

What a wonderful cheer for new batter Scott Boland on his home ground.
