Test Match Special pundit Michael Vaughan says Joe Root will be crucial to England's fortunes on day four.

This was the field set for Ollie Robinson when he bowled Usman Khawaja yesterday.

To call it funky would be an understatement.

Some have described it as the the "Brumbrella".

A reminder of today's ZaltzQuiz:

Australia's tail looked fragile on paper before yesterday, and looked even more fragile on grass as England's bouncer barrage added another team to its list of victims from the past year, with the last three wickets adding just 14 runs. However, over recent Ashes decades, Australia's eighth, ninth and tenth wicket partnerships have been far more productive than England's.

A two-part question for today's Ashes Guesswork Special.

1. In 19 Ashes rubbers from 1986-87 to 2021-22, how many times did England's last three wickets – worked out by adding the average 8th, 9th and 10th stands together – do better than Australia's over the course of a series?

2. To the nearest whole number, how many runs did (a) England, and (b) Australia, average after the fall of the 7th wicket in those series combined?

Whoops, inadvertently decided to give the players a three hour lunch break.

Rest assured that is not the case.

After yesterday's rain, there are 98.3 overs scheduled to be bowled on day four and some slightly different session times.

• Morning session: 11:00-13:15
• Lunch: 13:15-13-55
• Afternoon session: 13:55-16:10
• Tea: 16:10-16:30

You could feel Ollie Robinson bristle in his press conference last night at questions about his celebration after dismissing Usman Khawaja. He brushed off the first couple but by the third was getting more feisty.

The Aussie players themselves seem completely unbothered. Wicketkeeper Alex Carey said the first he knew about the situation was when he was told about it on the way up to the press conference room.

We will reveal the answer at 10:30 BST.

The good news is that the weather forecast for today looks a lot drier so we should get through without any interruptions.

There is rain forecast for tomorrow though so I would not rule out another declaration by Ben Stokes to try and force a result.

They’re all big but this feels like a particularly big morning.

Ollie Pope and Joe Root will have been boosted by sunny skies when they woke up, a big contrast to those horrible batting conditions yesterday afternoon.

Ollie Robinson has found an unlikely supporter among the Aussie camp - the legendary Merv Hughes.

The 61-year-old, who was famous for his sledging during his playing days, believes the whole furore is a fuss over nothing.

“Is it really coming to a point where a bowler can’t celebrate a wicket?” Hughes told CODE Sports, external.

“Must be a slow news day if you’re trying to make something out of that!”

Chris Harper: So I'm going to get this so horribly wrong, but here goes: 1) four times England did better. 2) (a) England 47, and (b) Australia 60.

A reminder that we are only on day four of the first Test.

This could be a fun six weeks

Australian Journalist Daany Saeed took to Twitter, external to have his say on the Ollie Robinson celebration:

"Find it difficult to take seriously Ollie Robinson’s defence that the 2000s Australians did it so his outburst was okay. The oldest Australian cricketers he’s ever played against are Dave Warner and Usman Khawaja, who didn’t play in that era."

Saeed later hit back at anyone who has criticised the Australian media's reaction to Robinson's celebration, pointing out the English media's reaction to Charlie Dean's 'mankad' dismissal by Deepti Sharma during a women's one-day international at Lord's in September last year.

"The phrase “pearl-clutching” has been bandied about a LOT this morning for a mob who complained incessantly for months about a mode of dismissal that’s part of the Laws of the game they invented."

Daniel Brettig of the Sydney Morning Herald, external wrote: "England’s apparent plan to play Australia on Pakistani pitches during the Ashes series has one significant flaw: even in a summer of hot weather, the threat of rain and cloud always lurks above this green and pleasant land.

"After two-and-a-bit days of playing passive, patient cricket in the face of Bazball, Australia’s cricketers – and in particular their pacemen – were on the right side of a brief session in which dark skies hovered over Edgbaston.

"Juicing up the atmosphere and a previously moribund pitch, it allowed for a transfixing sequence in which Pat Cummins and Scott Boland claimed two wickets for as many runs in 22 balls. In that time, England looked about as well-equipped for the moving ball as Australia’s tail had earlier been for a flurry of bouncers.

"Joe Root managed to survive eight balls before a storm finally broke over the ground, but not before Cummins came perilously close to finding his outside edge. It had been a most illuminating passage of play for Australia, reminding all present of exactly how potent this seam attack can be."

Daniel Cherny in the Herald Sun, external said the 22-minute spell between rain breaks gave England a "blistering reality check".

"Even this modern, fearless England laid down its arms. It was just beaten. Pat Cummins and in particular Scott Boland had made for cannon fodder on day one as Ben Stokes’ side did as it pleased, playing the game entirely on its terms. How the tables turned.

"In about the time it takes to boil pasta, there were two wickets, one failed review, two other full-throated appeals and at least one other half-shout.

"Less than a day earlier Stuart Broad had bemoaned a slow pitch, arguing how tough life it was taking things for bowlers.

"It’s hard to think he would have complained had he been able to roll the arm over in these circumstances.

"Eventually came some respite for England. But the damage had been done."
