Credit where it's due: Root, Denly and Stokes fought hard for the remainder of the day. It just begs the question why they couldn't ****ing well do it yesterday.
Just over 200 now needed on Day 4 to win, but with the new ball to come, the pitch turning and runs hard to come by, it's still Australia's to lose. If England win from here then it'll be up alongside Headingley '81, and the national disgrace of that first innings might just be forgotten. Lose, and I don't think they've got anywhere to hide.
