Even if he'd have wanted to go change gears at the end of the day, he'd just looked cooked in 40 degree heat.

So he was determined to be defiant and be there at the end, which he is.

And Geoffrey Archer gave him good support for that final hour or so.

So I was just coming down the escalators with a bunch of Aussies, which is not the great thing to do on a day like that.

the daylight today but the guy said the pulse is still beating and you kind of feel it's beating but pretty weakly but it's good that he's there and he showed great defiance I mean there were some controversies today though again weren't there Joe Root

There was that and the Jamie Smith going back to DRS again, which seems to be creating a lot of kind of heat and debate in this game, almost as if there's been a little bit of confidence lost in the system.

There are a couple of confusing things there because the umpire didn't actually give it out on the field and he sent it upstairs to check whether the ball has carried.

Now,

Once he's done that, it's almost as if he's given it out, because obviously why would you send it upstairs to be carried, whether it carried if you didn't think he'd hit it.

Once it's gone upstairs, obviously the umpire checks everything.

He checks the catch and he checks the edge on the basis that it has been given out, even though the umpire hasn't given it out, and then Smith obviously can't review.

Anyway, I happen to think there was probably an edge there, but again, it seemed to be the frame

difference this time rather than the very big difference that we had yesterday, which is part of the protocol.

Not in 40 degree heat.

I'm not sure it does.

Well, the problem is, as we...

yesterday when we said it's time for two days of batting for England because you've got to get ahead of the game.

We've just seen what Nathan Lyon's done on a second day pitch.

If England trail by 150 and they have a brutal day in the field again, then you're left really chasing the game on the fifth day.

There's a bit of rain forecast, but you have to be unlucky to have a rain prevent you pushing for a win in Adelaide.
