Cheating convicts getting a spanking in Manchester. Bowling bang average and Starc now looks like he maybe carrying an injury. England could be 150 ahead at stumps tonight if it carries on the same momentum.

Yes, true. From what I'm reading (at work, so not watching), it's been a fantastic innings; better than a run a ball. But he's in and set at this stage. And seemingly seeing the ball like it's a beach ball. He needs to frustrate the Aussies now.

With the threat of rain , I just can't see us holding back at we need runs and fast , better to die by the sword , we scoring quickly but not completely wreckless , Crawley has rode his luck a little , but has played some fantastic shots ,

After tea England will absolutely go for it. May lose wickets but we won’t lose time in the match. We have to bowl the Aussies out and get ahead of them with the rest of today and then 3 very rain hit days - this is just the timed or Bazball, in a must win match

At what point does a hundred become "a big one"?

I ask because people always say "OK he's got a hundred, now he has to make it a big 'un" and I'm wondering when Crawley can finally just bat freely with no obligation to the team, or making his chance count.

I'd say 150
