Have to say, though this team has quite rightly had some stick in recent years, they came out today and fought from the first ball with some proper, old-fashioned Test match batting. They earned every single run from start to finish, and by the end of the day the Aussies had visibly had enough. Just need to take that spirit and fight into tomorrow now. A 100+ lead is potentially on the cards, and with the way the pitch is taking spin already, those runs will be gold-dust come the fourth innings.
The atmosphere was amazing in the last hour too; thought the fans were going to blow the roof off the Hollies.
