And he, I thought, was the key component of that attack today because it meant the skill and control that he had

meant that Cummins could just operate his faster bowlers in very short bursts.

After that initial bit before lunch where they got the pressure on England's batters, the afternoon session when it was roasting hot, 40 degrees as you say, it was essentially short, sharp spells with Lyon doing a lot of bowling from one end.

Just on that ducat dismissal,

I think he made it look a better ball than it was.

It was a really good ball, because it drifted and from the angle it obviously spun to straighten.

But it's the drift that has done duck it there, because as the ball drifts in, he kind of, his bat then, instead of going on a straight play and almost magnetically follows the drift,

And I think if he edges that to slip, I'd say fair enough.

I don't think he should have been bowled from that ball.

There will be focus on batting because inevitably we kind of focus on the England aspect of the day.

But, you know, people ought to and will talk about the bowling side of it.

You know, they've got 800 plus wickets coming back into the side, Cummins and Lyon.

I mean, Cummins was pretty much straight away into his groove, wasn't he?

And that brilliant ball to Zach Crawley.

But you're absolutely right.

Nathan Lyon was key because he just allowed the others to rotate.

But how many cut shots did you see today?

Hardly see a cut shot.

Yesterday, England got cut to ribbons, square the wicket.

So their discipline, accuracy, relentlessness of the fast bowlers, alongside the skill and variety that Lyon as the off spinner and Stark left armory, bowled fast all day, actually, in these hot conditions.
