2.11pm Innings break England's innings finally closes. Root gets a standing ovation as he walks off 138 not out. Starc likewise for his 6 for 75. Archer charges off after a valuable career high 38.

Luigi: "That last wicket needed something special considering they were just waiting for something to happen, thanks Marnus!"

Jesse: "I hope this experiment of Doggett being the short ball specialist is abandoned after this innings - it has clearly been of no effect except for offering easy runs to England, and it's not the sort of bowling that got Doggett in the team to begin with"

Craig Morzenti: "Definitely an opportunity missed by England last night by not putting Australia into bat. Now the Aussies can bat in ideal conditions and by the time twilight comes, the ball will be old and soft. Could come back to haunt them, especially if Head gets going."

Jay: "Australia deserve to lose this test because of this last wicket partnership alone "

Australia's over-rate for that innings no longer relevant per this rule:

12.9.4.1 if the fielding team bowls out the batting team in 80 overs or less in any particular innings and the Minimum Over Rate requirement for that innings has not been exceeded (taking into account all of the time allowances described above), no account shall be taken of the actual over rate in that innings when calculating the actual over rate at the end of such Match.

Doggett around the wicket

Drax: "Jofra Archer's batting average of 7 (before this innings) is rather surprising, considering his batting talent. "

Ozbald : "Have never understood why teams get top order batters out with great bowling and tight fields, then turn to poor predictable short rubbish to tailenders."

Cam: "Is Starc on the field? Why wouldn't he bowl first??" He's bowling from the other end. Two slips and a gully

Razor: "They might not have played silly-buggers with the Cummins selection issue, but they're playing silly buggers with this last wicket partnership"

Doggett to Archer with the same field. No slips. One gully
