And now England are a bit of trouble.

But you hit the nail on the head there.

Lions doing him a role that Will Jacks couldn't do.

Now, it's an unfair comparison.

Part-time spinner, batter who bowls a bit of off-spin to one of the great off-spinners that's ever played the game.

But he can hold up an end and a length and control, rotate the others.

There's going to be so much focus.

I don't know what you've written about tonight, but there's going to be so much focus on England's batting.

What I got from today and a lot of the series is they've been given a masterclass on how to bowl.

I agree.

It did, right up.

And every decision Cummins made was paying off.

Line comes on two wickets.

He himself straight into the attack, bowling beautifully.

Brings Cameron Green first over.

Little Jaffa that nipped away.

Can I just ask you about England's batting?

You said before the game, don't move away on flat pitches what has worked for you.

Do you think they did move away or do you think it was the relentless pressure that Australia applied?

Or do you think England could have gone back?
