An incredible performance from Agar though

England in a spot of bother here and only themselves to blame in my opinion, won't accept blaming the umpire for a shite decision, England need to look at some ordinary bowling and captains decisions over the last hour.

Believed our own press all this talk of a 5-0 series win is nonsense it might happen of course but get a bit of complacency , the odd injury and the odd player not quite at the top of their game against the 'old enemy' and you could well end up in the position we have.

I still think we will win the test but we will have to bat and bowl much better

We're still going to win - no problems.

Needs to be a few well placed strong words over lunch in the England dressing room, need to see them come out flying at these two.

Wouldn't like to call this test now, could be one of those very close ones indeed.

I agree, we really have been well below par , give credit to them they have got themselves right back in it

Batting has now become a lot easier, so England are probably still favourites to win. Anything over 300 and the Aussies will never make it in the second innings

I wouldn't be so sure , we only have 3 guys bowling, they will also think they can bat better

There has been bits in papers here about Agar over the last week and from what I could gather is that they see him as a potential future all rounder.

He won't be staying at number 11, you can see from the way he bats that he isn't a number 11, he has far too much skill with the bat.

He is batting like a number 6.

Lead goes to 27

Be funny if these two both got a 100

19 year old, first test, can go either way with regards performance, this is just an introduction to test cricket at number 11, he won't be much longer.

150 partnership

Lead of 52 

I dont get that either, he looked much better than the number 11

Ridiculous third umpire decision there. How can he overturn that decision, looked like an inside edge to me???

Not good enough.

2 decisions have gone against us due to incompetent umpiring from the 3rd umpire. If these were decisions from the on-field umpires with no reviews, then I would agree with you. But "you win some, you lose some" is not a valid defence of sucha shocking brace of decisions from an off-field umpire who appears to be unable to understand and correctly implement the rules.

Erasmus has single-handedly soured my beer and ruined the match.
